Checking out the bit between departure and arrival. I hope I never get there.
This is a journal more than a blog.
Very self-centred. It is written for some future me. I am not looking for a following. You may read it. Please comment, but please don't judge. I write about what interests me, concerns me, and a bit about what happens to me. I hope some of it interests or entertains you.I should probably have titled this blog "Shit Happens". Because it does.
Sometimes I quote a song or some poetry, either just because I really like it, or because it expresses something I cannot put as eloquently into my own words. Occasionally i am brave enough to publish one of my own.

Memory Reprise
Continuuing my occasional reposting of earlier classics: From April 2007; I was just given the neatest excuse as to why the Ministry server with my Environmental Discussion Database was going slow: It had a memory leak. Rebooting fixed it. That … Continue reading
