Lost Track

Friday, June 24th, 2005

When doing some disk clearing / archiving, I discovered an old MP3 format tune I made a couple of years ago. Thought I would put it online, in case anyone is interested.

Sugar Boat, Clyde Estuary

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

The “sugar boat” is what I have heard it called. Apparently sunk in the ’60s. It is clearly visible from both sides of the river Clyde, Greenock and Helensburgh, and apparently from space, too.

Since Derek Murray posted about Google Map’s new satellite imagery of Paisley, I found that the inverclyde area is covered as well. Cheers Derek.

Migration Complete!

This blog, Virtuality, is now hosted remotely, for the first time.

The transferral was quite an ordeal - but of the kind that I really enjoy. Took 6 Hours. I’m tired now.

Tiger vs Linux

Monday, April 18th, 2005

Exams soon, far too soon. At least it’ll be over.. and it’ll be time to relax for a short while.

I have seen some nice instructions to enable xscreensaver load images from flickr; the script that is pointed to is written in perl. I’d really like to modify this script to allow the images to come from a tag, instead of from a user. (e.g. Screensaver = latest images tagged Glasgow) Ah well, in time maybe.

In other news, Tiger vs Linux - let’s see which will prevail in one-on-one competition : Tiger vs Linux.

Have you seen? Missing Cat.

Thursday, April 7th, 2005

I was out with the camera, to meet up with a fellow classmate, and passed this poster several times. Thought I should put the pic online, might help the owner track down their cat. Poster seen in the North Kelvinside area of the west end of Glasgow.

Best of luck, Toby.

Offshore and wifi

Thursday, April 7th, 2005

I had not realised that Offshore provide free wifi access. That explains the abundance of laptops that seem to be present in that coffee shop.

I’m writing this post on the ipaq, while I await the arrival of Chao, a friend from university.

How cool.
