Even though I post a lot of rubbish, I’ve now astonishingly passed the 300000-views mark.
My friend A. has nearly passed the 1000-views mark!

A car bomb in Central London did *not* explode in the early hours of the morning thanks to the police.
Thank you, police!

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Britain faces “a serious and continuous threat”.
He added the public “need to be alert” at all time
Yes, I nearly [...]

get everything ready
wrk wrk wrk
quickly make sandwiches for my trip during my breaks

I’m going to drive up either Friday after work, or Sat. first thing in the morning. I’d like to be back Friday night though, so I can get up on Saturday and get stuff done.
The only problem is that it’s an 8-hour drive or so, so if I leave here at, say, 7pm, I won’t [...]

Seeing that I’ll soon have a new job, with a shiny new job title and a shiny new academic title, I thought I get some business cards printed. Not really to use them professionally (my new employer will get those done separately, i.e. with their logo on it etc.), but for my own personal use [...]

yus, because for my new job, I’ll have to cycle into an office. It’s about a 10-minute-bike ride away, and you can walk it in 30 minutes.

Unlike at Techno Paul’s, where Nothing Really [is] Happening at the Moment , everything is really happening at lenina’s headquarters.
So, the shorter my blog posts are, and the less I reveal, the more is actually happening behind the scenes.
