damn proxy

Either the work internet proxy is just being persnickety again, or they’ve actually figured out the eeeevil browser I’m running, and my webmail server. Oh no! Repent! Repent!

murder songs

Went and saw ESB on Friday night. They kicked ass, as usual. I took some photos with my S230 without a flash – the results are here. I think I’ve said this before, but I’m really happy with the S230’s low-light performance. It’s certainly a lot better than anything else I’ve ever used. I’ve got […]
