So, I finally got the piano I’ve been chasing for months. Total cost: free. I had trawled through the buy and sell with no real joy (budget was 200 Euro and no more), checked out a few second hand piano shops (who had advised me I’d be looking at 1800 quid upwards) but as fluke…

Happy 21st Gary
Just a quick unrelated post to say “Happy Birthday” to my younger brother, Gary, who finally turns 21 today! And also to mon pére whose birthday it was midweek. Might I say… its about bloody time!

Crocodile Hunter Killed In Australia
There was always bound to be a danger when you spend your life chasing crocodiles, wrestling them, popping your head inside theirs etc., but Australia’s favourite son – Steve Irwin aka The Crocodile Hunter – has met his maker. Was a bit mad listening to it in the van on the way to work –…
Go On The Cats

Computer fun for Ken
It’s here 😉 Kid with a new toy, I think so. I’ll let you know how it goes anyway. What am I on about? Click for my previous post.
Back To Building Computers
Something I love doing and don’t get to do too often (because of the cost involved) is to build computers from the ground up. Sure, when you know what you’re doing it doesn’t take long at all but it’s nice knowing that your computer is working (and working right) because you made it so! So…
