Righto before anyone gets arsey I know absinth doesn't make the heart grow stronger, but fonder. It probably does neither, on my 4th now so it's just making me burble shite, like I've just found the top of a bottle of Pelorus ( Cloudy Bay), and before you worry dears it was vintage , none of the common stuff, narf narf, sorry. Amazing I looked out the window about 2 hours ago expecting it to be completely dead and there were hundreds of people outside, living in the centre of London can throw you, wasn't that loud, right must be sleep time now.

This is not going to be most lucid blog ever as I'm on my 3rd Absinth, and it's not true Absinth doesn't make the heart grow stronger it appears to make the eyes grow worse and the nose pick (bad pun, yes, yes) up on the weirdest smells. I'm going to forecast that it will not make me the most popular person in the flat. I have the rest of this blog in Open Office till I can get it checked for wild incorrectness and other such misgivings, so nigh,nigh, gunna leave you with this cos it is cool and has made us both happy in an otherwise shite week, ta ra.

Emma and I have just finished watching the first episode of Ultimate Force some of the dialogue seems a bit crap but it looks like it will be a bit of fun.

Arse, just lost 15 minutes of blogging double arse, righto, briefy drunk, wednesday through friday (very very),saturday at a birthday / house warming, friends of Emmas, really really nice, friends and house. Back to the wedding, got to meet more of Richard and Janes friends and catch up with some I have already met, really cool. After a very yummy dinner, there was the maddest Jazz band, with five of the most different people you could imagine, but by god they could play. Emma and I ended up going to bed about midnight 1ish, and surprise, surprise woke up in the morning feeling really good, AND remember all of the previous day, I can highly recommend it as a way to spend a wedding. However Steve was up till 4 so wasn;t so good :D, that didn't stop Emma, myself, Neela and Steve going for a wander around the village and out across someones farm, then back into the village to a cool little pub for lunch, which was fucking amazing country pub food is about 98 billion times better than london pub food. Oh yeah our room was f huge and really nice, ok I may update this a bit at a later stage so it makes sense.

It was Richard and Janes wedding this weekend just been, Emma and I caught the train up on Saturday morning with Neela and Steve. Surprisingly even though we had a change trains everything went without a hitch and we got our hotel in a heap of time. We stayed at the Londesborough Arms, which was also the location of the reception, which is a brilliant idea. Jane and Rich put on a bus to and from the church, the service was cool I'm not a churchy person, even so I enjoyed it, Jane and Rich both looked really great and from the guest point of view it was a relaxed nice service without the heavy god bit that you can have at weddings. More later...
Oh thanks to Lisa for pointing out that I can't spell my own name, it may now be fixed.

Will has just sent me a link to the World RPS Society, it's mad.

Found this on /., very cool.

Put cave into Source Forge this morning, at the moment its only in cvs, will hopefully figure out the rest some time next week, anyway wahoo wahoo.

Righto a new version of cave is out, I've changed the way settings work and hopefully fixed a little bug with the level selection at the start-up, thanks to Rich and Rich for the bug finding and UI tweaks.

Just finished watching Notting Hill on Channel 4 with Emma. I haddn't seen it before, It's was really cool I haven't laughed like that for sooo long, it was brilliant.

Ok, haven't blogged for a while, and this is probably gunna be short cos I'm totally buggered, watched the Super Bikes, Clare and Al came over last night after going flat hunting after the flat they were going to move into on friday fell through about 6 hours before they were meant to move in, hmmmm headline "flat own gets knee capped, judge lets cappers off, warns flat owner not to be such a wanker". Thursday night went to the boardwalk (link somewhere else and I can't be arsed finding it now) and were having fun until Emmas bag walked out with someone else, people that lift stuff should have there goolies cut off with a soldering iron. Oh went to Luigi's on ummm wednesday or tuesday or, no no it must have been one of those two, anyway there were these people at another table who kept running up to the speaker and putting there phone next to it ( and dialing a number ) and then a sms would arrive and it would be all the details of the music playing, artist album etc, and you could buy it from there site. blah blah blah.

Righto there is a new version of Cave up on my website for downloading.

Emma and I just walked back from tesco's and saw the most amazing thing, it was raining on our street but not where we were, kinda cool being able to see the rain and walking into it. I'm sounding like a stoner, maybe you had to be there. Right seeing as two people have now asked, we are moving to Oz, no we aren't planning on getting married, I'm not sure why moving to a new country infers marriage, but there you go.

Went out for drinks with people from work for Wills birthday lastnight, started at board walk and ended up at form again, was cool. Emma couldn't make it cos she was feeling totally buggered which was a bit shite.

From the mail server:

The wombat lives across the seas,
Among the far Antipodes.
He may exist on nuts and berries,
Or then again, on missionaries;
His distant habitat precludes
Conclusive knowledge of his moods.
But I would not engage the wombat
In any form of mortal combat.
-- "The Wombat"

And I just saw a link to this.

Rich installed Cave on his phone last night, looks good, already have a couple of updates that hopefully I'll have done tonight, wahoo wahoo. Also added a wap site, ok page, so it's easier to install via a phone, the address is wap.jonoabroad.com.

Well we have finally told everyone (ok some people) at work that we are leaving. I can't believe it's only four months to go,about time to start looking for work I guess. Clare and Al came over for dinner last night, was cool to see them, managed to not drink an insane amount, which is good. About to go for a walk and spend some money then its out into the sun, it's meant to get to 33 today so its going to be crazy. Righto.

What a brilliant night, apart from the hell that was the Wednesday update and our XML data store being shite, went to the George for a few, then decided to look around for somewhere new and found form which was soo cool, fucking amazing Hip-Hop, New York styles from 80s/90s insane break dancing, fucking brilliant. From there we went onto some place playing lounge / Jazz, which was well laid back and wicked, this is how Soho living should be, fucking Brill. Ooo also discovered a load fun using a mobile and predicative texting.
Oh and from My West Minster Noel[1] lives round here, hmmm haven't seen him much.
[1] Noel.

Well it's half twelve and I can't sleep so I may as well blog now rather than the morning. Emma and I took Monday off and had a long weekend, and and saw her parents, my god rail in this country is crap. One reason to come back on the Monday rather than Sunday was that there is line maintenance from Now till the end of the year on every weekend, with means ever train journey to the north west is broken with an hour bus trip, needless to say the train companies were saying it would only add an hour or so to the journey, however if you believe this look outside there are pigs flying. It was however nice to be out of London and as always wonderful and relaxing to see them, even if we have both eaten and drunken what we would normally consume in two week in 3 days. Oh yes and the clan gets bigger Mike and Trish had a baby girl, Sophie Patricia, 7 lb 4 oz born at 5 past 12 on Monday morning so wahoo wahoo, hopefully we hear more from Lisa at some stage. Back to staying at Emma's parents, it was sooooooooo nice to be somewhere without constant noise, in fact quite the opposite, almost constant silence and by god its refreshing, means you can really relax. Oooo spoke to Dad on his birthday last week, he and mum been out to dinner and both sounded good, which is cool. One last thing about rail coming back on monday it was a direct train, no stops and they were still 25 minutes late on a journey that was meant to take 2 and half hours, how, how how, the "train manager" said it was due to speed restrictions, but surely they knew of these before the train left our station, when they gave our ETA, the restrictions have only been in place for about 2 months, grrrr.
