quicky
Been busy. Decorating. Setting up the BigPC in the spare room (or office, as it pretty much is). Had to re-route an ethernet cable from the router to the XBOX downstairs (via exterior of house). Can someone tell me why the XBOX doesn’t have built-in Wi-Fi? FFS it’s £70 for the Wi-Fi adapter. Rip-off […]
tallinn city centre
I have just spent the day on a photowalk with my Nikon D80 DSLR. I have over 150 shots to upload of Tallinn. I’ll post the link (update: link) later after I’ve uploaded to flickr and done the required editing and rotating (uploading straight from SD rather than clogging my iPhoto software - my ageing […]
we have snow!
As we celebrated New Years at midnight (Estonian time) we were treated to the first sprinkles of snow here in Tallinn. This morning we had a fresh blanket of the white stuff everywhere. Lovely.
Apparently, the snow will be following us home.
BTW. We drank at 00:00 Moscow time, then Tallinn time, and finally GMT. Hic!

update
Sorry I haven’t updated the blog this week. Well, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, it’s Christmas. I have been enjoying spending time with the family and playing with some new videogames (Bioshock, Super Mario Galaxy and Pro Evolution Soccer ‘08) - oh, and pwning some Yanks on Call of Duty 4… on my new 40″ […]
casting the net - better late than never
Today got off to a rubbish start. My internet was down. I was cut off from the world. I was cold and I was naked.
I couldn’t even leisurely play XBOX Live in my enforced free time. Because my internet was down! Annoyed I brought forward a meeting, so at least now I have this afternoon […]
casting the net - clegg, by a nose
Today’s blog review is up over at LC.
Pick of the bunch is this pro-Tesco polemic by Julie Burchill (via.).
I wrote my dissertation (I did a post-grad in the grocery industry, as I worked for a major supplier to the multiples) on the Tesco supply-chain. It is, in a word, awesome.

hello
No action on the blog for a couple of days as I’ve been very busy. It was the penultimate Christmas Shop yesterday. Everything but a handful of DVDs bought, so annual panic over. Work is also absolutely manic.
Yesterday’s Casting the net is here. And today’s here. Enjoy.
More blogging later. BTW this* is effin’ hilarious (Linux […]
casting the net - kicking brown when he’s down
Nice and early. The blog review is up at LC.
Mrs. tyger and the kids are back. Toys are strewn across the floor and I’m constantly running up and down the stairs taking the boy to the loo (ah, the joys of toilet training). Of course the independent-minded little git has no intention of using a […]
casting the net - revisiting iraq
Today’s blog review highlights the latest dispatch from Michael J. Totten, who has revisited the Iraqi city of Fallujah - the site of one of the biggest battles of the latest Iraq War (Operation Phantom Fury was an infamous siege where US forces used chemical weapons – namely White Phosphorous - on suspected insurgents).
The blog […]
casting the net - money talks
Today’s blog review, which assesses the blog reaction to the ongoing funding crisis at the Labour Party, is up at Liberal Conspiracy.
BTW. Vince Cable just commented - at PMQs - about Gordon Brown’s remarkable transformation, in just a few weeks, from Stalin to Mr. Bean. Genius. Cable would be a cracking leader for the Lib […]
