Blogging from Amsterdam?
I’ve been here over a month now, without my trusty Nikon but with my phone camera. And of course it’s Amsterdam so of course surrealities abound. Should I blog them? Or carry on like all the other cloggies like this stuff is normal? Vote now! Related Posts:No Related Posts
Not sweary enough apparently
Mingle2 – Online Dating I’m deeply disappointed. Given that I was the sweariest person on #london.pm for a long time I need to cut the bullshit and get the fucking lead out on my blog. Related Posts:No Related Posts

Google knows all
Googling to check that an old colleague’s address was the same, the top hit was acutally a list of emails and addresses that looked like a direct dump from a mailer. Clicking on a link on that page brought me to a PDF of a dump from an Outlook address book. Which includes credit card [...]
