The Cotoneaster

Such a simple shrub and yet so delicate.

The Site Anniversary

Even though I insist I’m not much for commemorations, I also realized that this site has been up for almost exactly three years now. The first fledgling post being made on 2002-06-15 or thereabout. Three years later and 1550 posts strong I feel this journal is now second nature.

The BitTorrent

I’m not much for commemorations, but I realized that I’ve been using BitTorrent now since May 2003. Yeah that is about two years worth of downloading. And since BitTorrent is such a religion we’re talking 24/7 activity here. Apart from technical failures, I think I’ve had my client offline for maybe 10 days max during [...]

The Poker

Noun: Poker [powku(r)]
2. Any of various card games in which players bet that they hold the highest-ranking hand.
What is with this sudden interest in playing poker? I must have blinked and missed something. I hear friends are playing, I hear there is televised poker and I hear that a lot of the spam hitting my [...]

The Kids

The Rhubarb Slush

Now that is a taste for the season. And so easy to make … not to mention slushy. Ah, what a wonderful garden vegetable they are. So easy to grow and so versatile.

The Phone Bill

So I almost forgot to add credits to my prepaid phone card before it expired (as it does after a year of not recharging it). What that means is that I don’t use my cell for even 10 bucks worth every year, including WAP and SMS. Not that I ever send SMSes.
I guess that says [...]

The Little Nuisances

Littering in the woods by multinational corporations and brands. If I was ever around to see someone actually commit this I’d shove the cardboard down their throats.

The ITAB Repack

So I got the clothes that I exchanged from ITAB … now lets see if they hold up to specs …

The Real Estate Maintenance

Seems I have June pretty much free. Call it a vacation of sorts even though I’m not doing much. I’m going to try and get hold of a sky lift and repaint parts of the house. And do some digging in the garden. Read some political literature. Watch the slew of political documentaries that I [...]
