2007 was the year that I became a father, was ordained and finally got a degree. Originally emailed to Richard Bacon on Five Live. This got me invited to speak on-air but I wasn’t at my laptop to respond to the request in time.

Bluetooth speakers
My ongoing efforts to eliminate wires from my desk (I’ll just about accept that I have to have a power lead running into the back of my laptop but I want no more than that) led me to buy a set of Acoustic Energy bluetooth speakers to replace my rather old and ailing set. Much …

openSUSE 10.3 on a Samsung R60plus
I bought Amanda a Samsung R60plus laptop for Christmas and, while it’s a very nice laptop, it has caused some degree of pain so far. This is by no means a full technical review, just a comment on my experiences with it. First, the good things. It’s based on an Intel Core2 Duo CPU with …

A series of questions asked within a hostelry

Made-up words
This morning on Five Live, there was a chap from Hull City Council talking about compensation for the floods earlier this year. I nearly choked when I heard him use the word co-ordinaztion (sic). Why, when there are perfectly good real words in the English language, do people feel the need to make their own …

This and that. Oh, and the other too…
In the odd bit of spare time I get here and there, I’ve been working on a new look for my site. The current design was done before I started theological college, so it’s about time. It’s basically complete now so I’m planning to put it live on New Year’s Day. Anyway, as part of …

And the Reds go marching on on on!
Marseille 0-4 Liverpool A comfortable win with what Rafa described as a ‘near perfect’ performance. Goals from Gerrard, Torres, Kuyt and Babel meant that the Reds scored sixteen goals in their last three group games to reach the knockout stages. Porto also won, to top the group, meaning that Liverpool will have to play one …

You’d hope so…
Astoundingly, today we received an item of post which was correctly addressed: The Revd James and Mrs Amanda Ogley. It turned out to be a Christmas card from the Bishops. So I suppose one would hope they’d know how to address it. In other news, I’ve uploaded a load more photos of Callum and I’m …
