Adapted from a quote seen on IRC...

If this year's terrorist attacks have shown us anything, it is that no matter what atrocities the terrorists may commit, they cannot take away what makes this country great - our freedom, our liberty, our civil rights.

They can leave that to our government.

Because you can never have enough Shiny Things.

Today I bought a new domain name. (Yes, they are shiny. Don't bother me with details.)

It's intended to be a personal site, as I don't seem to have one any more, haven't done since I left uni really. Not sure what I'm going to put on it though... a link to here would seem to cover most things these days. I'm sure there must be some kind of more structured information that it would be worth putting on a website, but nothing occurs to me at the moment. Maybe I'm just too dull to justify a vanity domain.

Late night phone calls...

Almost forgot, somebody tried to phone me at 4:44am last night/this morning, from a withheld number. On the very unlikely chance that it was anyone reading this, and/or just for general informational value... the only people who can make my phone ring once I've decided to go to bed are: djlongfella, duranorak, elise, exitwound, Gina (my sister), libellum and Toni (my ex-gf's daughter)... everyone else gets shunted to the answer-phone without it ever ringing. If you do for some bizarre reason need to wake me in the middle of the night, you're either gonna have to knock on my front door (loudly - I sleep rather deeply sometimes) or get one of those people to call me.

Footnote for those people listed... don't go calling me at 4am unless you really mean it :)
