I got slightly ahead of myself and started drafting my Friday night post on Thursday evening. Wishful thinking beyond belief and you can imagine what happened. Never tempt fate like me, it is just not worth the heartache. I finally got my desktop back together at 18:05 and after a final check of files began […]

They say a week is a long time in politics. In my own universe a week is a very long time, particularly if you are waiting for some RAM to arrive which you think will solve all your computer problems. It is a long story but I will start right at the beginning, from the […]

The total amount of time out in the wilderness was 6 days 20 hours 10 minutes and 54 seconds. (I was only 9 seconds out on my prediction with the same digits, just the wrong way around (45)) I got the e-mail confirmation at precisely 10am yesterday and sent an over ecstatic e-mail to Pav […]

I begin as I must while I am officially in offline mode, with an update of my time in prison. The time clocked up so far, is 2 days, 22 hours, 11 minutes and 29 seconds. I am writing at around 9.43pm on Saturday evening but it will take a while to get everything written […]

When I switched off my work laptop around 11.30pm yesterday evening, it was a big wave goodbye to internet access from my flat. I had to return my cousin’s Vodafone 3G dongle to him today and dropped it off on the way to the gym. I am trying to be positive but having chosen Tiscali […]

It is Thursday evening as I begin writing this post. My first day out in the wilderness with no internet access. Well that is not strictly true, I went to return my cousin’s house key (and dongle) to him at 7pm after my cardio session in the gym and he has let me hold onto […]
Sunday 21st September 2008
Believe it or not, I had actually written up some notes yesterday early afternoon to make sure I did not leave out anything important from the blog update to wrap up the weekend. However, all that will have to take a backseat and may not even feature this evening. Why? Well let me put it […]

I expected many more, but only had fifteen e-mails in my Inbox at work from the past week. I actually thought I would have had as many as fifty. Never mind, I suppose I should be grateful. To be honest, I doubt my presence in the office was actually missed. It was not like that […]
Wednesday 18th July 2007
Back in April I reported that my room was being redecorated and that I would be moving out for two weeks. Those two weeks turned into three months. However, I kept faith and ensured I blogged as often as I could, for a time using my work laptop. I cannot tell you what a great […]
