I have spent the entire afternoon putting my computer back together and trying to make it work. And it doesn’t. To recap: a year ago, I bought a new motherboard. This worked fine for a few weeks, then showed signs of failure. I took it back to the shop, who told me the fault was […]

From: Texas father Wants to Ban “Fahrenheit 451” From His Child’s Scool “The book had a bunch of very bad language in it,” Diana Verm said. “It shouldn’t be in there because it’s offending people. … If they can’t find a book that uses clean words, they shouldn’t have a book at all.” Alton Verm […]
I am having quite severe sleeping problems these days. I’ve always been a light sleeper, prone to wakefulness, but it was never a problem before. But over the last few years, when I developed knee trouble, then tendonitis, near-constant aching from some joint or other has made sleep difficult. So I seem to have got […]
Yes, I’ve not posted lately. Been busy with lots of stuff, plus: And you run, you run to catch up with the sun, but it’s sinking Racing around to come up behind you again The sun is the same in a relative way, but you’re older Shorter of breath and one day closer to death […]
After a lot of thought, I’ve decided that I can’t afford to enter that National Sudoku Championship that I posted about a while ago.

My health seems to be taking a slight upwards turn. My tendonitis is definately a little better – I managed to do up my seatbelt myself this morning, and I can actually raise my right hand above my head for the first time in weeks; the chronic aching seems to have diminished as well, so […]
…perhaps. A couple of weeks ago I noticed an entry form for a national Soduku competion in the back of a puzzle magazine. The closing date was the next day, but I completed the entry puzzle in 15 minutes and got it into the post. This morning, I received a letter telling me that I […]
….1.00am and I’m lying awake, silently cursing the aching in my knees and shoulders that are keeping me from sleep. Voices outide, laughter, hooting calls. John and Pauline having another party? No – they’re too considerate to let guests make such a noise outsde at this time of night. B snores on beside me. Icautiously […]
I’ve suspected for a long time that I have Aspergers Syndrome (although sometimes I think I’m not Aspie at all, but just normally weird). My life-long difficulty making eye contact with people is one of the reasons for my suspicion; it’s a well-known AS trait (along with a tendency to mistake the standard “How are […]
