I’ve been working on my CV on and off for a couple of months now – I realised it was out of date when I applied for the job at IPEC and fortunately they didn’t look too closely at it because the last thing on it at the time was from 2004. At the moment […]
Doctor Who tonight
Just a quick reminder to everyone that Doctor Who returns to our screens, at least in the UK, at 7pm tonight on BBC One. I’ve also resurrected my Doctor Who blog, Shada, where I will be posting reviews of the new episodes until my new science fiction site is ready to be launched. Update: Thanks […]
Cracking on over Christmas
University work I’ve already started working on university stuff, mostly because I went back to my flat yesterday morning and picked up most of the stuff. Revision is coming along slowly, and I’ve started writing some of my report for my third year project, although I need to fetch the commented version of my project […]
Curry, aikido and cybergothness
Warped Christmas Curry Went for a curry with Warped on Monday night, although turnout was fairly poor with only Lucy, Justine and Graham managing to make it – the other students seem to have gone home for Christmas already. We ended up going to Hanaan at Justine’s bequest (I had arranged for us to go […]
Review of the year
I did this review of the year in 2004, and now that I’ve finished what’s probably been the busiest semester so far in the two and a half years I’ve been at uni, I thought it was about time for an update. So here goes… (yes I know it’s not strictly the end of the […]
A Question Meme

Where were your parents born? Leeds and Bolton I think. 3. What is the last thing you downloaded onto your […]
Doctor Who DVDs
Play.com has almost all the Doctor Who DVDs currently on sale for £7.99, including, as is always the case with Play, free postage and packaging. In one fell swoop, I have sorted my Christmas present problems from all those relatives who want to buy me something that they can wrap up and give to me […]
Warped Pub Crawl
Falling behind a bit here, but this Monday was Warped’s annual Halloween Pub Crawl, in which we go around pubs in fancy dress that is vaguely sci-fi/fantasy related. This year the pub crawl happened to be on Halloween night anyway, but with it being reading week and Riftworld (some LARP event) the turnout was slightly […]
Party at Oxford Central
This weekend was Jennie’s birthday party in Oxford, to which I managed to get down for on the Saturday. Justine and Sophie (one of Jennie’s friends) met me at the station and we went round Oxford town centre, including two museums and the Oxfam Book Fair, which was interesting, before heading off to Jennie’s house. […]
Silly Games
Last night was Silly Games at Warped. For the uninitiated, this is an annual event whereby the majority of the society gathers in a room upstairs in the Burlington and plays, well, silly games, such as the following (although I’m almost certainly get one wrong)… Human Letters This involves making letters out of people, although […]
