I started listening to Orbital back in about 1997 after hearing a friend play a 12” version of The Box - I liked what I heard, so I bought In Sides on CD. Many, many plays later it still remains one of my favourite chill-out albums. - It’s a small world 3

This is the first game I ever played on a Mac, many years ago at a mate’s house. It’s one of those games that’s very basic in concept but is incredibly addictive and infuriating in equal amounts.

The lurgy is in town. A head cold - sore throat, blocked sinuses, sneezing, coughing etc. - is making its way around N’s family.

Un-super. - BurnoutMenu 2.0 4

I am forever thinking of things I need to do before a certain time or date and then completely forgetting to do so. I’ve always needed to create a list of things that need doing to keep myself on track and after reading many of the comments on ‘What’s in your menubar?’ in the hicksdesign journal I found what seems to be the ideal app for me: BurnoutMenu. - Spring is on the way 0

After the recent spell of snow and cold weather (I hate cold weather) I’ve tried to cheer myself up the easiest way I know how: changing my desktop wallpaper. - Who’s watching? 2

I’d never really considered what browsers people were using to view this site. I do try and check how it looks in various browsers when I make any layout changes, but I’d never thought about percentages. After reading Interesting Stats on CreativeBits I thought I share my own browser statistics. - Gravel 0
