I forget exactly when this incident happened. I do remember it was towards the end of the University season (either the year end, or midway). It was in my second to last year in University, and everyone was rushing about trying to finish papers,...
Welcome to my Blog
This is actually Version 4 of my blog.

Hello Mr Kettle, This is Mr Pot, You’re Black!
My commute too and from the office is currently being sound-tracked by podcasts of geek based American radio shows. And I will say for the record that on the whole I am really enjoying them, they are very informative and entertaining. I just feel I...

Managing the Unmanageable: Or Herding Cats
A nervous air of expectancy tinged with an edge of fear hangs over the quiet room, as a group of people sit on old school chairs arranged in a circle. Slowly one of the group stands up, looking at the faces of those around him, making sure not to...
Time Waits for No Man. But What if he doesn’t turn up?
The Masonic Season starts again this month, And last night I was dutifully at Rehearsals. Well it was needed as everyone moved up a rung on the ladder at the last meeting, and this is the first ceremony we will do in our new positions. So We all...
There’s No such thing as a FREE Dinner!
I was at my parents place last night for a family meal. As I went to retrieve my laptop bag and coat to leave I spotted my father moving the furniture in their 1st room apart to make a large free area of floor. (No idea what you would call the...
Laptop Problems
I recently decided to remove windows off my home laptop, and like the techie I am, I decided to do this without checking for driver compatibility. I just jumped right in with the install (OK I will admit since my laptop has a hidden partition with...
