Expected a gimmick. Expected it to be about the food. But it's not. It's about so much more than that. Would eat here again.

Just came out of Dans Le Noir, the restaurant where you eat mystery food in the dark, and... OMG.

Visiting @SquizUK in London when... Building caught fire! Heaps of smoke, two pumps. Been evacuated.

@ajphillips After last week's #Zonomi DDoS, @3RingsLtd started using Route 53 on @AWSCloud as 'extra' DNS servers. Still up: must've worked!
-
2 of 4 @rimuhosting #zonomi DNS servers back online (ns2 & ns3). Meanwhile, I'm setting up a manual slave system on @awscloud Route 53.

A brand new Golf from @ZipcarUK, a field of friendly cows, a tub of last night's curry, and an afternoon's #paramotoring. #LifeIsGood

Leslie Nielsen was admitted to hospital earlier this month
You: To Hospital? What is it?
Me: It's a big building with patients, but that's not important right now.
Sad to say, he died yesterday. The world has lost a fantastic actor and comedian.
Just a short post, here: the wedding this weekend was amazing, but I'll be writing about that at a later point, once I've caught … -
Off to a Wedding!
Ruth, JTA and I are on our way to Telford where, tomorrow, they'll be married. Ruth is bouncing with excitement. The car's chock-full of suits and dresses and cases and wedding favours. It's been a crazy few weeks and a crazy morning, but the ball's rolling now.
I'm feeling really energised about the whole thing. Bring … -
It is Windy in Aberystwyth
We don't get wind in Oxford: not wind like this, anyway. The air is passionate and angry, full of bitter sea salt and wild energy. It smells like Aberystwyth... and still a little like "home".
But this time I'm here as a visitor, of course. Just another tourist: and that's a very strange and alien feeling, … -
I'm Proud of the BBC!

Well, that'll be stuck in my head for a while. Full write-up (and photos) from this weekend's fun and games coming soon. -
Roman Typesetters
When ancient Roman typesetters or web designers were showcasing a design, and didn't want the content of the (dummy) text on their mock-ups to distract the client... what did they use for their lorem ipsum text?
These are the kinds of things that bother me most when I'm doing typographic layout. That, and Internet Explorer's consistently … -
Well That's Confusing
My dad... is in Aberystwyth. And I'm not. That's a little unusual.
He's mid-way through a cycle tour of Wales, and sat in Wetherspoons to avoid the rain. If you happen to see him, cheer him on for me. -

Leave Me
Just wanted to share with you all a short film I discovered today, Leave Me, in which a recent widower deals with his grief through his wife's broken digital camera. It's only about five minutes long, but it's absolutely breathtaking.
