Why do some people seem to think that in quite serious fog (obviously not a pea-soup situation, but still fairly thick) that side lights are all they need to turn on on their cars? You have fog lights for a reason! Idiots! Oh, and don’t even get me started on the pillocks who didn’t even …

Poker
A successful night saw me win the 4-way tournament tonight. Commiserations to Chris, Mark and Amanda, but kudos for four games very well played, especially from the absolute beginner. Tonight the unofficial college champion, tomorrow the world?!

Scattered showers
Sounds like Amanda’s baby shower last night was a lot of fun – lots of useful (and cute) stuff for the baby too. Ante-natal class this morning was okay although the midwife was rather annoying. Her grammar was appalling (for example, writing What causes mothers to stop on the flip-chart as a question – note …

“A good day to bury bad news”
So said Jo Moore, special adviser to Stephen Byers, then Transport Secretary, of 11 September 2001. So, it would seem, thought the government of 14 December 2006. Lord Stevens had made it known well in advance that that would be the date he would publish his report into the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. …

Christmas Bash
Tonight is the college Christmas Bash (photos in the gallery soon after). It’s a black tie affair and, when the photos are up, you can see my interpretation of black tie. Had the final Hebrew session of term this afternoon and I think most of us left feeling pretty good about the progress we’ve made …

Wednesday
Shopping. Some trivial work on GNOME:STABLE – gnome-commander should build on 10.1 now. Another step towards a complete build on 10.1, but there are large hurdles to get over for some of the remaining packages. Chris and Bernie initiated a catch-up of our year at college (most of whom finished in the summer), so sent …

GNOME:Community Factory move
Because the name of the distribution has changed, starting with 10.2, to openSUSE (instead of SUSE), the path to the GNOME:Community repo for Factory is changing (as soon as the packages are built). Please update any references to http://software.opensuse.org/download/GNOME:/Community/SUSE_Factory or http://repos.opensuse.org/GNOME:/Community/SUSE_Factory to be http://repos.opensuse.org/GNOME:/Community/openSUSE_Factory

Best … Similie … Ever!
Miguel: You say that the guy from MIT had a date and then go on to say he reminded you of Comic Book Guy – surely the two are completely incompatible or, as he might put it, unrealistic!
