Ramblings about cats, games and miscellanea.
Last Thursday was, amongst other things, Tristan's birthday! Happy birthday Tristan! He arrived home that evening in a rather intoxicated state, with a friend from work and a desire to sample the many bottles of wine which he had been collecting for such an occasion. I believe they managed to get through most of one bottle by the time I finished my work and joined them, and I watched them start on a second. Tristan excused himself, declaring that he would just be a minute, and wandered off in the direction of the toilet. I was left to make ...

On Friday we had a compsci barbeque, but only just. For those of you not in the south of England, this last week has been incredibly sunny and warm - in fact, it was probably our summer.
