[Tweeting on Twitter]

2008-04-09T00:40:22+00:00

I've been experimenting a little (ha!) with microblogging at Twitter. Microblogging is like blogging, except extremely succinct--140 characters to be exact. They call these little updates "Tweets". The web site allows you to submit new "Tweets" via instant messaging (Jabber), SMS, or the web. Other people can then "follow" you...

[Lurking Around London]

2008-04-08T22:24:47+00:00

OK, so it's been a little while since I last updated anything here. The problem with being world-famous is that you need to be careful about what you say in public. It may come back to bite you in the butt when you least expect it. I suppose,...

[Forks, Fences, Foolish Ads]

2006-05-12T15:13:37+00:00

Ein's such an embarrassment; she has a dirty laugh. Ads, movies, and more mayhem from Stephen's pen.

[Extremes]

2006-04-12T15:09:29+00:00

Extreme sports, weather, and conspiracies. The Brits are out to get Stephen or so he says!

[Food, Furnishing, and Freezing]

2006-03-12T15:04:44+00:00

How fast does food go bad and our wonderful new home, as told by Stephen.

[Terrible Taste and Britain's Best]

2006-02-12T14:28:06+00:00

Local food, the gay neighbourhoods of Brighton, and real estate. A Stephen special.

[WoWKindness on the Web]

2006-02-10T16:34:57+00:00

I have to confess that I've been spending oodles of time finetuning the web site used by my World of Warcraft guild The One. In comparison with some of the web sites for guilds also on the European server Thunderhorn, ours is beautiful to behold and very functional, with a...

[Fortune's Favours]

2005-10-23T15:02:29+00:00

I had a Brainstorms visitor on my blog the other day, who came courtesy of Glen Engel-Cox, another Brainstormer, who writes the blog Immediacy. I was wandering around Immediacy and came across a recent posting about Dead Can Dance, Dead Can Dance at Strathmore Music Center. I'm afraid that I...

[Sci-Fi September]

2005-10-04T12:33:04+00:00

I’m moving right along! Now that I’m done teaching my “short” (but intensive!) course and the marking is all done for it, I obviously had more time to sit back and read, because I read 13 books in September. That’s more than double August’s total of only 6. Here’s the...

[Fifty Books Finished in June]

2005-09-18T21:30:38+00:00

I finished my 50th book of the year, Moonraker (Ian Fleming), at the beginning of June, part of my Read 50 books in 2005 goal on 43 Things. I never had any doubts that I would be able to do 50 in a year, since I’m a big reader, using...

[Inbox Insanity]

2005-09-18T21:24:56+00:00

Although I’ve bene quite successful for years at keeping my inbox to fewer than 20 messages at any one time, I have to confess I’ve been having a lot of trouble with this, especially in the last few months. Caught up in an endless loop of going from one crisis...

[German Giant. Not!]

2005-02-10T12:51:32+00:00

Sprechen Sie Deutsch? I want to!

[Powerbook Power!]

2005-02-09T15:45:50+00:00

Join the laptop generation. Power away with a PowerBook!

[Fifty Fabulous Book Binges]

2005-02-09T12:54:01+00:00

I've seen many people profess a goal this year to read at least 50 books. Given that I read incessantly, I don't think I should have any trouble reading 50 books in 2005. Even discounting juvenile literature, which tends to be shorter and easier to digest, I still believe I'll...

[Whoah! Water! Migraine Madness Mopped!]

2005-02-08T20:44:50+00:00

Migraine madness was ruining my life. One of my goals was to start drinking more water as dehydration is a factor in some migraines.
