Wish I’d had my camera in Nairobi this week…

Went to town to get more larium (the anti-malaria drug that makes you lairy), and to photocopy some bits and bobs for Kenbrick college (whose first ever open day is this afternoon, watch this space). Stayed with a friend in the city so I had time to […]

Here’s a little story about Google.

The college has been donated a wireless router. I’s supposed to be setting it up, at some point, when my schedule allows. This morning, since the pressure of term was over, I had an idea while I was half alseep, or was it last night…? If we could run Linux […]

Looking at the links in my calendar to the right, I see that I’ve been quiet this week.
It’s because of exams. They’re keeping us very busy.
Last term I thought I’d seen the most greivous monstrocity that the university could commit: we had an exam where one question had only 15 marks instead of the prescribed […]

I looked through some old photos and found this one. I know I wanted to put it up here and I can’t remember if I did it already or not, so here it is and if you recognise it, too bad.

This is Josh roasting Kuku at a VSO party last year. I just love the […]

Trawling through a DVD of videos from Prof. Mungbean — Excelent stuff: Charlie Chaplin, Jan Svankmejer, The Trapdoor, etc. — I happen upon something I didn’re realise I had: Revolution OS (A documentary about the history and success of the Linux operating system.)

Here’s the shirt again.

Tyg, honey, notice the orange stripey tie (thanks Megan!)

As from this weekend, I find myself nuzzeling up to 40 like a cat rubbing its cheek against your leg: it’s a false affection but you might as well enjoy it anyway ‘cuz it’s all you’re gonna to get.

At the weekend there was a VSO committee meeting for the volunteers in the Eastern Region of […]

OK It seems I’m being abused by someone who wants to use this web site to advertise some sort of on line gambling. I have had a look and according to my software each of those bogus comments was posted from a different IP address so I can’t just add their host to the list […]

setlogo(”200.bjlogo.png” As you see, we’re celebrating 200 blog entries since this little project started. Congratulations Bitterjug!
And now here’s the real entry:

Last wednesday the deputy principal handed me the Daily Nation newspaper open at a page near the middle. The article there showed a nice picture of president Kibaki and told of how although he […]

Here’s the best pic from the day of traditional local dancing I went to recently. Still photos just didn’t work because of the low light but I have some avi movies. They are large files and you have to turn the brightness up on them but they show clearly the crazy acrobatics these guys pull […]
