Life is like a grapefruit
Fun with Windows CMD.exe
While I was in a semi-conscious state this morning, my body awaiting the arrival of sweet, sweet caffeine, and due to some issues I’m having with my work environment setup, I happened to check out what environment variables were set. I noticed one named ‘PROMPT’ that I immediately assumed worked similarly to the PS1 and […]

Finest worksong
Today was the first day of my new job. I’ve posted before about how I felt different about this change of job, as I already knew the people and what was going on at the company, however that really didn’t prepare me for actually being there. I spent 45 minutes on a bus getting to […]

Writing in the dark
I thought that I’d survived jetlag. I was clearly wrong. After a very tiring day yesterday, during which I walked nearly 3km with an enormous bag of dog food thanks to getting lost and not finding a cab, I crashed early at 7.30pm. I like to think of the walk of doom as my own […]

When shuffle just works
iPod: Morning Dom, how about we start with a little Maiden. Dom: Ok, but make it something chilled. iPod: Infinite Dreams? Dom: Perfect. iPod: Time to step it up a gear: Sell Out by the Levellers good? Dom: Great. I need to wake up a bit. iPod: Let’s not get too perky, I fancy slowing […]

Stand and deliver
Image via Wikipedia I have a bank account! But not just any account, oh no. I have a bank account with Wells Fargo. The Wells Fargo that was formed in the mid-nineteenth century amid the gold rush in California. The one that is obsessed with stage coaches, pioneering and horses. They are definitely staying true […]

Born free, as free as the wind blows
Apparently, according to Mirto, I write better when I’m tired. If so, this should post should be comedy gold! I started writing that we’re one day in to our San Francisco life, but I think it might have been two. Between the waking at odd hours and the naps in between brief periods of wakefulness, […]

Letter from America
The last time we left him, our hero was boarding a Singapore Air plane bound for San Francisco. Let’s see what happened next. The Singapore Air experience was, as always, fantastic. Food every three hours, drinks every hour, and a really comfortable seat. We had a transit stop in Hong Kong that was vaguely ridiculous: […]

Leaving on a jetplane
“Today” has been going on now for something like 35 hours, but I’m too numb in the brain to figure it out exactly. It started on Tuesday morning in Singapore with the chaps who were meant to pick up the last of our boxes not showing up, and the co-ordinator explaining that they’d get there […]
