I am going to be at the Mint Bar this evening, trying to wash the working week out of my brain with absinthe. If you are in the area come down and say high.

I am pissed off today. Nothing ever works properly. Technology is an unfulfilled promise,an illusion, a game of smoke and mirrors. Yes, I know I shouldn't get all stressed when my computer keeps crashing and my email doesn't work. Every morning I set out, intent on acheiving a zen like state of calm and allowing the foibles of these machines wash over me. But I can't. It makes me want to kill things. Small fluffy things. I need a computer made of wood.

And things are going to get worse before they get better. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a technophobe but I have been thinking about this. Your computer crashes. Recently a friend got video on demand - now his tv crashes. Once IPv6 is rolled out, anything that uses electricity will be hooked up with a IP address. Just think about this for a minute. Your fridge will crash and your food will go off. Your oven will crash, leaving food raw. Your alarm clock will crash, leaving you asleep. Your heart monitor will crash. Your fucking pacemaker will crash.

Or some over excited little script kiddie will crack your home network and set your house on fire.

Hang on tight kids, it's going to be all kinds of exciting. I'm going to go live on an island.

Find nirvana [the ideal condition of rest, harmony, stability, or joy, not the band] online with this remarkably pretty game.

More stuff to come later but frankly I am still way too drunk.

Women gets mobile phone stuck up arse

I'm not making this shit up...

When you walk to the edge of all the light you have
and take that first step into the darkness of the unknown,
you must believe that one of two things will happen:

There will be something solid for you to stand upon, or,
you will be taught how to fly

So did you get any cards?

No one wants to feel unloved. Brighten up someone's day with an anonymous email but be careful, things don't always turn out as planned.

Of course, love is a drug and, like any drug, you can develop tolerance. So be careful not to overdose.

Valentine's day is named after a saint, was the occasion of a massacre and is a source of trepidation for couples and singles alike.

Regardless of whether you know who your card is from or not it's still better than not getting any at all...

Neurotica

Hi kids!

Welcome to the inaugural chapter in the saga of Neurotica, a new online depository for things that warp my fragile little mind. Trust me, there are more things in my head and the web than are dreamt of in your philosophy...

Hang on gentle readers and weary web travellers, I promise it'll be fun...
