Mushrooms

I've left my self a note to blog about mushrooms and I can't for the life of me remember why. I think it might be something to do with the fact that mushrooms invoke strong reactions in people that other foods just don't seem able to do. People either love them or they hate them. They are like marmite in that respect. I fall in to the latter camp. For me it is more of the texture of them than the taste, but I really can't eat them.

Leeds

Last weekend was the UKUUG Linux Conference and this year it was held in Leeds, which is where I went to university. Even though I left 3 years ago, it was very strange walking around me department again after all these year. I know I spent 3 years there and that it should feel familiar to me, but I was shocked at just how familiar it felt. It was like I'd been there just a few days ago and the last 3 years hadn't happened. A few things had changed, but everything felt exactly the same as it did when I left.

Please enter a valid email address

I am getting fed up with the number of things that ask you for an email address and then complain when you enter an address with a + in it. Among the culprits we have Tesco, UGC cinemas and a program called Steam. Doesn't anyone read RFCs these days.

Doom 3 Movie?

From the BBC: "He points to the first Tomb Raider and Mortal Kombat film adaptations to show that games can transfer into decent action movies."

News to me

AFK

Over the last few weeks events have meant that I have been away from computers and the Internet for extended periods of time. A few months ago, not using irc or reading mail for 2 or 3 days would have brought me out in a sweat. Strangely, recently, this hasn't bothered me at all. If anything, I've not looked forward to returning to all the mail and blogs I need to read. I think this is a good thing.
