I’ve figured out why my weblog has been going downhill of late. With my new chilled out attitude (and a few changes of scenery, figuratively speaking) I no longer want to rant about things as much. So I don’t write things on my weblog so often. When I do get round to writing things, I’m probably quite bored. And that means I’ve usually been doing something boring just beforehand, and that’s why I’ve been warbling on about html and css incessantly recently. Not because it’s interesting, but if my day has got boring enough that I think about such stuff, then it’s probably boring enough that I’ll spout about it too.

So in an attempt to redress the balance, I’m going to write about more interesting things I’ve done recently. More interesting for me anyway, YMMV. (Oh, OK, one little html ramble - I’m not pandering to IE’s shortcomings any more - I know the difference between an abbreviation and an acronym, and I’m sticking to my principles on this one.)

Did anyone watch Bremner, Bird and Fortune last night? Now that was some scary stuff. I have this horrible feeling that it’s all completely true. It’s really entertaining to watch, but last night’s episode wasn’t really funny; I just had my jaw hanging for most of it, and kept muttering ‘no way!’ throughout. Shock and disbelief would accurately describe it - if you didn’t watch it then you missed out, but I don’t know if you can see it online or get the transcripts from anywhere. And I’m not going to abuse it by trying to summarise it here.

Most of what I did yesterday was walking back from Roehampton through Richmond park, Barnes and along the Thames. Which was really, really cool (especially all the little public footpaths through Barnes), and well worth the sore legs by the end of it. I’ve got a few other walks lined up, but they’re on hold at the moment, until I get some more of my project done (and subject to it not being quite as miserable weather as it is today).

And now, before I start talking about the new versions of xine I’ve been fiddling with, the way that I quote things like a hacker (apparently), my opinons on the linux file hierarchy, or anything else, I’m going to stop.
