Cockity cock cock - Pandora is no longer able to allow non-US listeners.

The amount of music I've bought because of Pandora is crazy, and it's become part of my editing routine at work. I have my iPod, but that's hardly going to expose me to new music.

Anyone have any suggestions for other Internet radio stations of interesting quality?

I am ded of flu and drugged up to the gills - consider this a warning. Crawled home from work at lunchtime on Friday, and have only just gone back. This is unsatisfactory, as aside from feeling like death warmed over, I missed meeting the EiC. He's only in the country once every 2-3 months or so, and these meetings are useful for hammering finer ( Read more... )

I remember now why I rarely use my steamer. It's been 4 hours, and the burn on my thumb still hurts. Do you have any idea how awkward it is, trying to type or use a mouse with your (incredibly) non-dominant hand while the other is in a bowl of cold water?

You know what I could really use? A St. Bernard with a whisky barrel tied to collar. Actually, what I could really use is a cute kitten carrying a bottle of vodka. More my speed, less dog slobber. I'm sure that even a little kitten could carry one of those dinky airline-sized bottles, and it would do wonderful things for my state of mind ( Read more... )

Just found desiccated mouse. Just touched desiccated mouse.

ARG.

Buggeration! I missed this last night, and cannot for the life of me find a torrent. Iain Stewart is a great guy and a great teacher - it's pretty much entirely down to him that I switched from Computer Science to Environmental Hazards at uni, and so I'd expect his TV showings to be pretty damn good - it got good writeups in the papers this morning ( Read more... )

Usually, I'm in favour of taking thesauri away from authors (or at least, the STM authors I deal with. Only 19th Century poets get to be flowery about TB). However, after four instances of 'past history' in a single sentence, I may be prepared to change my position.
