New York with Annie. http://www.sleepingmonkey.co.uk/2008/11/10/im-really-looking-forward-to/ This is such a cool cube, I want one... but it's a shame it's only a concept and not going to be commercially available. http://www.sleepingmonkey.co.uk/2008/10/28/rubitone/ Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see. T'was grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares, We have already ... http://www.sleepingmonkey.co.uk/2008/10/27/amazing-grace/ On Saturday night, Annie and I went to see The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, which is based on a book by John Boyne. It's definitely not a book or a film you want to read or watch if you're after something funny or light. The story is basically about Germany ... http://www.sleepingmonkey.co.uk/2008/10/22/the-boy-in-the-striped-pyjamas/ Last night, Dan, Kita and I drove up to Oxford after work to attend Worship Central, an evening of worship led by Tim Hughes and Al Gordon.

Saturday, though, a bunch of people from King's drove up here in a minibus to ... http://www.sleepingmonkey.co.uk/2008/10/13/a-surprise-weekend/ I upgraded the memory in my Mac yesterday evening, from 1Gb (in two 512Mb DDR2 sticks) to 2Gb (two 1Gb DDR2 sticks). It's always a bit nerve-racking doing anything to the Mac, as it's so tightly put together and not easy to replace parts if they go wrong. Took some ... http://www.sleepingmonkey.co.uk/2008/10/09/memory-upgrade/ You can tell we're getting near winter. The house was nice and warm when I woke up (thanks to the wonders of timed central heating), but the minute I stepped out the back door to get my bike an icy chill hit my legs and I could see my breath ... http://www.sleepingmonkey.co.uk/2008/10/08/its-cold/ Jim has put online a whole load of photos that he took at Ascot. There are some seriously scary photos there! My particular favourite is the one of Tim below, as I took it on Jim's camera without looking through the lens or even seeing where the camera was pointed! There ... http://www.sleepingmonkey.co.uk/2008/10/01/ascot-and-the-weekend/ So, it looks as if it's going to be a busy weekend ahead, starting on Friday! The big boss of our department in Cisco is over from America for the next two days, so today we had to have a big tidy of the office. He'll be in the office ... http://www.sleepingmonkey.co.uk/2008/09/24/busy-weekend-ahead/
