Lent 13: First Respec’
Given the amount of moaning and bad press that gets pointed towards public transport these days, I thought I would pass on my respect to First ScotRail/Buses and Glasgow City Council for the completely flawless journey to work this morning, … Continue reading

Lent 12: Fugitive Hunter
A bit of light-hearted entertainment for you today – a kind of choose-your-own adventure web-based game where you get to chase fugitives. It’s quite fun, although I found that some of the puzzles seemed to require you to do completely … Continue reading

Lent 11: Sowing a seed
Just wanted to throw out a quick idea that Al and I have been mulling over (well – I mentioned it to him once, and he agreed it was a good idea). In conjunction with the JediMoose anniversary party, we … Continue reading

Lent 10: LRL06
I thought it was probably time, as part of my Lenten series, to put it a proper plug for LUGRadio Live 2006. Quite simply, this is the premier event in the UK for the Linux community (as opposed to Linux … Continue reading

Lent 9: Liverpool bow out
Well – the game was a real disappointment last night. Not because we played particularly badly, but because we just couldn’t put the ball in the net. Again. I think Rafael Benitez has done wonders for the club, I really … Continue reading

Lent 8: Soccer and Schadenfreude
There are a few things that really bother me in football at this time – excessive posturing/politics and the huge sums of money involved – that are both in danger of eclipsing the joy and skill of the game, and … Continue reading

Lent 7: Getting things done
Sometimes it takes a day working from home to really get things done. Being at home gives me the advantage of being able to do all the lengthy, boring admin tasks on my own computer, while still working on ‘real’ … Continue reading

Lent 5: Getting there
Well – we’re 5 days in and still going. Looks like BigAl is matching me post-for-post too. I’m not sure that the ‘Moose has ever seen this much content! Hopefully we’ll keep up the quality along with the quantity. Given … Continue reading

Lent 4: Remember IBXS?
No, not a typo for INXS, but rather Irn-Bru XS. You may have heard in the news that Barrs is releasing a drink called Irn-Bru 32 – Irn-Bru but with 3 times the caffeine – to compete in the Red … Continue reading
