Where the fuck did 2007 go?
…and it’s that time again, for each month’s first post’s first sentence. It’s made realise (yet again) how little I actually manage to write on this damned thing; if I made resolutions (I don’t) and of it were 1st January (it isn’t), I might resolve to actually kick my arse in gear and get more of what I think into intarweb posts (there’s generally little point in writing about what I do, as that (while largely satisfying to me) is rarely of sufficient note to, y’know, share with the world sort of thing).
January
ramtops and I had a thoroughly fine time last night, with (in order of appearance) agc, purple_peril, gmul, Pat and Dave (WANOLJ).
February
It occurs to me that I’ve posted nothing here for weeks.
March
Today’s The Beat on the World Service is worth a listen for Mark Coles interviewing Ry Cooder about his new album.
April
Go read danah boyd on cyberbullying; that woman writes more sense on tech/society/youth issues than most other people put together.
May
Today I’m mostly doing a variety of “dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/hdaX” after a sequence of less drastic deletions, service shutdowns and other housekeeping.

Well, that was a load of utter shite, wasn’t it?
August
prompted by hirez, here’s a question for youall:
September
Being ill has meant that I’ve not been motivated to post about this year’s TWSC, which is a pity, so I think I’ll write a little bit now, as I am at least functioning in some slight fashion mentally (if still hitting a periodic wall whenever I think I’m finally through it all).
October
Given that Diana is dead (I’m sorry if that comes as a shock to you).
November
Happy birthday to ramtops!
December
ramtops and I are just returned from Colston Hall, where we experienced an extraordinarily emotionally charged Show of Hands gig.
