Simplr
Wednesday, September 27th, 2006
Have changed the site’s theme (finally). I love this new theme, Simplr. It’s very neat, and almost what I’m looking for. I want my home page to show just the one current post. New visitors can just dive into the content. Don’t wanna clutter the site, it is very distracting. And old. I can blindly [...]
Well, that’s that.

The (training) project’s done. It was actually fun to do, and I didn’t expect that. Being in charge (of a group of peers) goes against my normal behaviour pattern. I hope I wasn’t too bad at that. The technical stuff was not quite simple, but simple to approach. You can figure out what mistakes you [...]
New Books!
Sunday, September 24th, 2006
Strand sale + first salary leftovers = new books. I got: The Raven And Other Poems by Edgar Allan Poe Voltaire’s Alphabet of Wit by Paul McPharlin Our Gang by Philip Roth The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold The Curious Incident of the Dog in the [...]
Make a stand.
Sunday, September 24th, 2006
I value opinions. I don’t like weasel-tongue—hiding behind formality or false politeness. The news channels/newspapers give you n number of sides to each problem, when in fact they should give you only one or maybe two. Don’t tell me what everyone else is thinking; if I’m reading your words, I want to know what you [...]
It’s quiet over here.
Wednesday, September 13th, 2006
The site was supposed to be much more active than this. I’ve just not been able to get around to posting more things here. Nor have I done anything about the design. I’ve got no time right now. See, my training at work is nearly done. Now we’ve moved into the ‘learning’ project mode—two more [...]
The Historian
Sunday, September 10th, 2006
I’ve had my copy of The Historian for a while now, but hadn’t read it. Partly because I’ve got a humongous edition of the book—paperback, but not one of those handy paperbacks you can carry around. And partly because everyone seems to like the books so much. I was afraid of liking the book, which [...]
Calvin & Hobbes
Thursday, September 7th, 2006
The result of my first salary. I’ve wanted to buy this book the first time I heard about it, and now it’s mine. I feel truly sorry for anybody who’s been denied the magic that is reading Calvin & Hobbes. I got my first book a long time back, and it certainly came as a [...]
W700i
Wednesday, September 6th, 2006
I’m now officially an annoying person—I’ve just got my first mobile. The Sony Ericsson W700i is a fun phone. Does what a phone is supposed to do, and a whole lot more. Some notable features: The ‘walkman’ functionality, almost as good as an iPod. The default headphones are damn good. Much better than anything I’ve [...]
First.
Wednesday, September 6th, 2006
Welcome. You know the drill: I write stuff and put it up here, and you guys read it (or not). Maybe even write something back, or contact me ’bout it. Every time I give someone my URI, I’m sure I’ll be asked will be about the name. Simulacra. I’m going to provide some helpful links [...]
