New Year, New Project
So, one of my new years resolutions is to complete at least one project. In this spirit, I’ve done one.
Ever wondered how much you would win on the (UK) lottery if you played every week since it started? Well, now you can find out.
http://lottery.aqxs.net/ – For when you need to check the odds.
Happy New Year, while I’m at it :-)

So yeah, new year, newish design. It isn’t perfect, but it’s a start. And the new new design is trapped in PSP until I get a new 30 day trial :-D
Simplicity
I like simplicity. It appeals to my sense of design, and the light grey with some of the most delicate shading I could make visible is nothing if not simple. The boxes and curves design is lifted from previous designs, but where there they were gradiented and filled here they are l

I am not new at this “Bread Making” lark. For a while now, one of my default methods of dealing with overstress and the onset of madness has been to pound the unliving hell out of a mount of innocent dough. Last year, this was assisted by a bread maker to do the pounding for me, which doesn’t help with the stress relief, but does make better bread.
Making bread with the breadmaker is really easy. You measure stuff out, put it in the bread pan, press the “Go

Sliding stealthily from the planes of unexistance back into the happy joy-filled world that we call reality. This is Radio Free Aquarionics. Hi there.
You may have noticed Aquarionics vanished for a little while. DNS hicup caused by the freak coincidence of a badly made gin and tonic, a small disposable sink and about four bottles of pure white sand.
Don’t ask, you really don’t want to know.

The first, the Retort Courteous; the second, the Quip Modest; the third, the Reply Churlish; the fourth, the Reproof Valiant; the fifth, the Countercheque Quarrelsome; the sixth, the Lie with Circumstance; the seventh, the Lie Direct.
All these you may avoid but the Lie Direct; and you may avoid that too, with an If. I knew when seven justices could not take up a quar

So, this is how my mail works:
- Mail going to things at aquarionics go to Sneaky
- Mail going to things at gkhs go to Jar
- Other mail goes to POP accounts
- All mail is pulled from POP/Sneaky/Jar to Atoll, my home server
- I read mail over IMAP with Mail.app, Thunderbird, or Roundcube, depending on where I am.

So, with my time last night between turns playing muliplayer Civ IV (Which was annoying, because the players dropped out as I was about to crush them beneath the sandalled feet of Aquarion Ceaser of the Pythonic Empire from his capital city of Comfy Chair.

So, I went to Cambridge.
In order to get to the place I needed to be on time, I had to get a taxi, which was something of an unexpected expense, but fun is worth spending money on.
And it was fun.
My new character – and bore you with it at great length will I if proded – is Philip Panama, Mage at small. No job too easy, No fee too high.

The morning was crisp and cold when I woke up this morning, I should remember to turn down the fridge as it means I have to leave it to thaw whilst I have the epiphany. Ephiphany was good this morning too, I wish Esel would tell me where the new supply comes from, I’m sure the delta will hit soon and I’ll have to find my own :-Z

Mr Aquarius has “tagged” me with one of these new-fangled “meme” things that the young folk these days seem to find such delight in, so I decided to fire up my interthingy and, peering though my huge thick glasses, attempt to write down the answers before my time is though.
Twenty eight indeed.

I have just finished watching Team America – World Police, which is the most purile film I have seen in a very long time.
Not since South Park, in fact.
It’s great.
It requires a lot of patience, and it tends to hit you over the head with it’s pretty crude political point, but it sends up action movies so very, very well.
Not that I’m likely to ever buy it, but I might rent it again
