what's this button do?

So, this is livejournal. I'd been contemplating trying to get a blog going, when Swiss Tony handed me a copy of his fanzine which went on about LJ. Now I've just got to work out how to use this thing...

testing, 1, 2

There will now probably be lots of entries while I try things...

I just went browsing through our digital camera pictures looking for a piccy of me, and ended up distressed by how much I look like my brother.

(no subject)

Went to visit my parents at the weekend, thus enduring the wonders of travel on the UK rail network. Virgin Trains' new rolling stock has its uses - we arrived back in Manchester on time, despite leaving Birmingham 20 minutes late. Shame they couldn't do anything about the two allegedly adult imbeciles who spent most of the journey throwing plastic bottles at each other and giggling. Just because I've recently turned 30, it doesn't mean that the world has to surround me with examples of modern youth who make Beavis and Butt-head look mature.

While visiting the Forest Of Dean, I spent far too much money on CDs, Cal spent far too much money on books (quelle surprise), and we watched a bunch of civil war re-enactors fire cannon and musket at each other at Goodrich Castle.

A good escape from mundane life, anyway.

moz works fine on old PC shocker

While visiting my parents, I got my usual job (being one of the techies of the family) of giving their PC a once-over. Since their PC is a bit on the elderly side, I thought I'd install mozilla and see how it performed. I was pleasantly surprised. Moz was a bit slow to launch, but once it was up and running, it handled just fine.
