A break from the norm. Rather than darting from work back to Marylebone, I took the civilized approach. Only because I was traveling on the tube with a colleague. We headed onto the main concourse at Marylebone, with our eyes peeled to the departure board. Lady luck was shining for one of us. The train […]
Sunday 1st August 2004
So August is upon us. A fresh start. A special month. Uniquely slotted in between July and my favourite time of year, September. The football season re-starts. The kids are on holiday. Many are away on holiday. The silly season, as often referred to by the tabloid press. Are you a gamer? More importantly, are […]

Planning and management is important. Even for some of the straightforward of tasks, you would think that a small degree of thought would go a long way. In my personal experience, this is never the case. Although I forever, dream of that Hannibal moment. I am forever waiting for the moment to say, “I love […]

Can you predict the future? I cannot and make no false claims to be able to do so. Let us make that small fact, quite clear from the offset. (It is pure coincidence, that my recent discussion on instant messenger, appears again, in the context of blogging on Diamond Geezer.) However, I can always take […]

Which is your favourite instant messenger? I started off with ICQ in the late 90s, building up a contact list of two hundred people, around the world. Then, I gave Yahoo! Messenger a go. Early versions were rather basic and slow, but it slowly improved. Then in 1999, when I created my Hotmail account, I […]

Most mornings, as I munch on my Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes, I watch television. I tend to just watch music channels and look out for something interesting to listen to and wake me up. Usually, the same select few videos being shown, at what is still deemed nightshift period for the channel operators. Flickering […]
Saturday 10th July 2004
Been at working in my new job for three weeks now. My role has not changed so much, as I am being given a chance to help out with the help desk. Although I am no stranger to technical support, it is strange, when I am dealing with hundreds of members of staff. My telephone […]
Friday 2nd July 2004
Friday, a great day of the week. It has been my favourite day, since first school. Now it usually takes two turns. I can either feel high. Full of bags of energy and have a great urgency to do everything. Or the flip side, worse still, I am heavily tired and exhausted from the working […]
Sunday 27th June 2004
Following six months and three days without going to the pictures, I decided to put things right. Went to see, Shrek 2 last night at the fabulous O2 Centre on Finchley Road. On my daily journey to work, I see the leisure centre, from my train. As you know, my favourite brand of cinema is […]
Friday 25th June 2004
Friday, and the end of my official week at work. How has it been? Well it has been very different from what I expected, I give you that. During the course of the week, the commuting was physically causing me some issues, but at this moment in time, I feel great. Maybe it is just […]
