You’re The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe! by C.S. Lewis
You were just looking for some decent clothes when everything changed quite dramatically. For the better or for the worse, it is still hard to tell. Now it seems like winter will never end and you feel cursed. Soon there will be an epic struggle [...]

The fates are conspiring against me
I’d like to apologies in advance for this blog being a bastion of technicality for the next couple of days but there are big changes afoot in the way my home PC is organised.
Only 1hour 19 minutes to go
Until the third and final disc image of Mandrake is safely sat on my hard-drive. We were talking about his in the pub last night – the way that expectations have changed with regards to downloading software from the Internet. The time was that we would think nothing of connecting to the Internet at speeds [...]
