Hmmm... New years resolutions...
Was going to say substance over pulchritude should be the main one, but think i'm going to go for a mix of both...
Oh, and more gym to shift that xmas excess.

Time for a review of the year. In 2003, 3 was the magic number.
3 loved. 3 lost. 3 months redundant. 3 weeks short of redudancy payout. 3 months nhs waiting list. 3 years tax returns (argh!) and 3 mobiles bit the dust!

Mudtastic gallery update for a 'all wheel drive club' off roading day in Borden.
26 12 2003
Some quotes from the little book of complete bollocks (and they really are just that)
- 'The old you is only the new you waiting to be undressed. Or vice versa.'
- 'Satisfy your inner child by eating ten tubes of smarties.'
- 'Never underestimate the healing power of custard.'
(I particularly like that last one)

Christmas day was very tiring for Mason.
24 12 2003
This one goes round every year. Track Santa's progress here.
23 12 2003
Governments and computers do not mix! Proof if ever it were needed that the data protection needs revising.
22 12 2003
Work xmas party in gallery.
17 12 2003
Now using Plaxo as a contacts manager. Easy to keep contacts updated and centralised. Useful considering the number of mobiles i've mislaid!
16 12 2003
Hobby for the new year... wardriving. Have the 'SUV'. Have the laptop. Lets go...
12 12 2003 [ kylie! ]
My Kylie advent calendar is proving rather popular...
02 12 2003 [ tech : piracy ]
Well, would you pay any more?
01 12 2003
Countdown to Christmas begins with a Kylie advent calendar ;) and a train! (pic1 | pic2) What the train has to do with christmas I've yet to work out.
29 11 2003
New toy. Well bit of a big toy at that >>>
25 11 2003
Well it amused me. Every boy's fantasy...
23 11 2003
Had 3rd curry of the week tonight at my local. This week I have mostly been eating curry (3) , pizza(2) and thai(1). Diet starts tomorrow...

11 11 2003 [ tech : media ]
Clever, but how long did they waste doing this?
03 11 2003
Return to work at BI (where I was based 3 years back) but this time am employed by CMPI. A few familiar faces which is good.
02 11 2003
Listening to Passion 91.8 streaming classic house on the net. Pirate radio never sounded this good before.
27 10 2003
Job interviews are like buses. Nothing for ages then 3 come along at the same time!
26 10 2003 [ www : rant ]
You wouldn't want to visit, let alone live here after reading this.
24 10 2003
NO!!!!!!! But wait, help is at hand. Just sign here ;)
23 10 2003
Pure stupidity.

30 09 2003
Has it come to this?
19 09 2003
It's Talk like a pirate day. Could get really annoying though.
16 09 2003
RIP Fortnum. Fortnum (30 08 1991 - 16 09 2003) passed away peacefully in his sleep aged 12. A much loved moggy, he always was a cat of mystery.
14 09 2003
Had to laugh at his today...
Blaine Faulkner: 'I know how crazy this is going to sound, but ... I want to be abducted by aliens.'
Jose Chung: 'Why? Whatever for?'
Blaine Faulkner: 'I hate this town. I hate ... people. I just want to be taken away to someplace where I ... I don't have to worry about finding a job.'
More series 3 here.

Obviously the BBC didn't like my predictions for the plot of the new Harry Potter book, hence didn’t publish them. I thought a SARS outbreak at Hogwarts and the romantic pairing of Hermoine and Ginny were perfectly acceptable storylines...
16 06 2003
Note to self: Must remember to give this place a visit.

10 05 2003
Watched 100 Worst Britons on Channel 4. Didn't necessarily agree with the voting though. Atomic Kitten opened the show being voted in at 100 :( Picked on for cover versions and being common. Pete Waterman made number 45. He was voted for in for producing manufactured pop Presenter 'jimmy carr' (alledgedly a comedian) is undoubtably the 'worst briton' himself. His smug condescending presentation style only ensured himself a place in a future list. Jade Goody made number 4 (and deservedly so).
06 05 2003
Gallery updated.
04 05 2003
X2 released today. Take note though Wolverine, I had the sidies first...
25 04 2003
The Xsession team (who provide hosting for all my sites) need to be credited for introducing me to Jagermeister. ;)
22 04 2003
My brother took part in this today!
01 04 2003
A couple of technology stories that caught my eye. A tribute and (somewhat predictably) boys will be boys...
22 03 2003
Tattershall Castle wasn't a castle at all. It's a floating pub/club and hence was a good place for some birthday shenanigans.
20 03 2003
Raed tells all from Baghdad as Britain goes to war.
08 03 2003
This is pretty clever stuff, though how anyone thought of it I'll never know.
02 03 2003
Have decided to republish my original site rather than delete it. Still like the dynamic html splash screen, even if its not the trend nowadays.
18 02 2003
Spotted the following question for whilst ordering pcs on the Dell website. Well, it may be the only way we will find them... > 'Q4. Will the product(s) be used in connection with weapons of mass destruction, i.e. nuclear applications, missile technology, or chemical or biological weapons purposes?'
