I don’t like being threatened, and I don’t like threatening anyone. Unfortunately I have just been forced to do so. Before I show you the letter I have just written, let me tell you the whole story.

Just found this one I used to test a sudoku-solving program about 4 years ago. There is a singular solution but it took around 2 minutes to find with my algorithms.

Feel free to give it a go.
I thought it would be a good idea if I wrote down what’s on my mind at the moment. It should explain why I am defaulting to sad and not happy, why I can seem a little distracted, why I seem not to care about things I used to care about and why I’m not cycling. You can read it and understand why, or you can stop reading and assume I have good reasons. Either way, I don’t want to talk about it other than on this blog: not on facebook, not on twitter, not in real life – please don’t read it if you aren’t happy with that condition.

As I mentioned before, Cerys and I went skiing in Milton Keynes last year while on holiday. We’ve decided to go back in March for my Birthday. I’m also hoping to drag some of my friends along. Continue reading New gear

I’m going to break that taboo in this post; obviously you should not read it if you think you might be offended. Continue reading Let’s talk about compensation

Some time ago, I bought a mir:ror from violet.net. The provided software for Mac and Linux is unfortunately very much beta-quality (which means decidedly flaky for those of you whose only experience of beta software was google mail). So I set out to see what could be done. Continue reading Hacking mir:ror on Linux
As you may have seen on various news sites, the UK is covered in snow at the moment and we aren’t coping well as a civilisation. I usually leave my work computer in the office unless I am planning to work from home the following day, and since the weather forecast on Tuesday was that it would be easy to get to work on Wednesday I did so. Continue reading How to work from home when you don’t have your company computer
I have put the 2010 Formula 1 schedule into a calendar of its own in BusyCal, which is the calendaring application I use on my Mac. BusyCal is then pushing this calendar to my Google calendar account, where I have configured it so that everyone can see it and import it into their calendaring applications.
