Many people have commented on the various day cycling trips that I’ve taken. However yesterday when shopping, I found someone who has been doing a lot more cycling than myself. He took the train from Cambridge up to Inverness. Then he started cycling and camping rough. That was two months ago. He was taking everything… Continue reading Some people thought that I done a lot of cycling?

Cycling: Critical Mass: Edinburgh June 2007
On Friday I headed to the Edinburgh Critical Mass again. It was a lot busier than last month, which meant that it was better perceived by the public. As the route of the Critical Mass is not predefined, it is very easy to change the route. When we tried to turn right from Princes Street into North… Continue reading Cycling: Critical Mass: Edinburgh June 2007
Cycling: Stirling to Glasgow
Last Thursday I was in Stirling for a presentation in the morning. I took the train out, so that I was able to be out there for the start of the presentation at 9:30. Unfortunately as I was travelling before 10am and it was not yet July or August, I had to pay the full… Continue reading Cycling: Stirling to Glasgow
Getting plain text logs from Colloquy
In the process of putting the log files of the Mac OS X porting meeting logs up on to the OpenOffice.org Wiki, I have been having a few problems. This has primarily been due to the location of new lines. To day I asked on Colloquy’s IRC channel, and found that there is a simple… Continue reading Getting plain text logs from Colloquy

Spaces around colons
Today I discovered why it is that the French have been placing a space in front of colons (:), and it has been driving me mad. In English it is usually seen as being wrong to place a space before a colon. However according to Lars Aronsson on the lingu-dev mailing list, it is normal… Continue reading Spaces around colons
Cycling: Edinburgh to North Berwick
Last Night I took a cycle out to Prestonpans. I then took the train to North Berwick for £2.50, and cycled all the way back to Edinburgh. I was originally going to cycle to North Berwick, though unfortunately I had a head wind, which would have meant I would have missed the last train from… Continue reading Cycling: Edinburgh to North Berwick
Dissertation Finally Complete
I’ve now completed my dissertation and handed it in. I completed the presentation this morning. So now that it’s over, I can get on with some real work and hopefully earn some money. I found the presentation quite tough to write (though no where near as tough as the dissertation), as I didn’t think I… Continue reading Dissertation Finally Complete
Safari 3.0 Beta
I’m taking the new Safari 3.0 Beta for a test drive. I have to say, I’m quite impressed with it in many ways. For the past few months I’ve been using Camino, as it has had a few features that Safari didn’t have. Safari is now a lot faster than before. Buttons are being custom… Continue reading Safari 3.0 Beta
