I’m still being consistent, so here’s another fascinating end of month report that you can read instead of all the daily nonsense. Or not.
Weight
March 1: 211.6 pounds (15 stone 1.6 pounds, 96.0 kg)
March 31: 217.2 pounds (15 stone 7.2 pounds, 98.5 kg)
Difference: 5.6 pounds (2.5 kg), which would be pretty good if it was a […]

DVD-buying Doctor Who fans may well be thinking they’ve entered a time warp of some kind. Yes, this has been on DVD before, but in a very different form. Back in 1999, the BBC was just beginning to test the market, and see if they could successfully sell DVDs. One of the first releases was […]

First the good news: I’m lighter than I was yesterday.
Now the bad news, I’m heavier than I was a week ago. Or indeed two weeks ago. Or four weeks ago.
I’m currently lacking in the motivation to do anything about this, so things may not significantly improve for a while. […]

I don’t normally recommend the single disk DVDs of Doctor Who, given that they’re a bit lacking in extras and 5.1 sound mixes, but I made an exception and bought this one.
The contents are the 2007 Christmas Special, which I reviewed favourably at the time, and which I enjoyed seeing again, that gorgeous mini-episode done […]

Yes, I’m really late with this one, but at least I’m getting it in before the next series starts. I’ve already muttered at some length about the individual episodes, so this is more about the extras and the presentation than the main content.
There are six discs packed in two folders which fit into a tidy […]

OK, I suppose I knew that Google’s index is updated constantly and with remarkable speed, but I was quite alarmed by its speed today. I posted my bit about the PTI Europe credit card oddness at around 17:50 today. A couple of hours later, I did the same Google search again. And I was quite […]

Like most people, I keep a reasonably close eye on my bank and card transactions. My current account offers the quite useful facility to download transactions directly into Microsoft Money[1], so I generally know what’s going on.
So when I saw a transaction labelled PTI Europe Region show up, I had a brief moment of concern. […]

Humph. No change since yesterday, which either means I’ve turned into a bloat monster, or my weighing scale is stuck.[1] Or it’s been confused by the clocks going forward. Yes, that’s it!! My weight is an hour behind, or something.
I think it’s a cunning plot to make tomorrow’s expected end of month round-up look bad. […]

Just a quick public service announcement:
Doctor Who is back next Saturday!
That’s Saturday, 4 April 2008. BBC1, and quite possibly HD for people who have such things. Please check listings for exact times.
This will be described as series four, but I might just join Doctor Who Magazine in calling it by its proper number:
Series 30 starts […]

Yes, after much coding, testing, fixing, changing and all the other fun stuff, the WordPress developers have released a shiny new version of my favourite blogging platform.
The new version features a new look, which comes with a choice of two colour schemes - one much like the “traditional” one, and one with lots of soft […]
