Arrival in California

Since my own wedding last August, the next great event on the horizon has been Robin’s wedding in California. We flew out without a problem from Heathrow’s terminal 5, and landed in LAX around 4pm on a sunny Thursday afternoon. The first job was to collect our cars. We all know that there aren’t any […]  Read more »

A weekend in Spain

Today marks the end of a rather crazy wedding holiday season for me, so here is some long overdue retro-blogging fuelled by jet lag. Our company’s founder, Matt McNeill, was married at the end of March. Sadly this clashed with Robin’s wedding, but I was able to attend the stag weekend, which took place in […]  Read more »

My TV is poorly

We’ve got a 40″ LCD TV made by Humax. We paid about ยฃ500 for it in early 2007, and up until recently I’ve been really very pleased with it. My mind has been changed because the remote control was becoming less and less responsive, and now it does nothing at all. I had dismissed issues […]  Read more »

116d

I have just been sent some snail mail by BMW Vines group. One of the highlights of their feature appears to be “The new 116d – the most efficient BMW yet”. As you can imagine, I am beside myself with excitement and will trade the M5 for one first thing in the morning.

Robin’s USA blog

Robin (of E30 and M5 maintenance fame) has today emigrated to the USA. If you’d like to see what he gets up to, you can follow him on twitter or read his blog.

Home server

As I’ve mentioned before, I run a home server here. It has three main roles: 1) Redundant media store for music, video, and photos 2) Web server for Diane’s website development 3) Media sharing (playback) on the lounge TV I’ve decided to go with a Linux solution, partially because I’m familiar with the OS professionally, […]  Read more »

Snow!

Yes, I’m a bit excitable about snow. No, I’ve never seen it this deep in Woking. One person tried to leave the street. No one else has bothered. Since then (about an hour ago) their tracks have almost disappeared! Just in the garden: A lot deeper further out there, but I’m not willing to go […]  Read more »

106 Rallye sold – cost analysis

Only a week ago I mentioned that the 106 Rallye was for sale – tonight Diane and I waved it goodbye. It’s off to bonnie Scotland, a long trip for the new owner (I hope it’s okay!). Some very rough cost analysis: We had the car for almost 5 years, and just over 40,000 miles. […]  Read more »

Living Online – some insight into blogging, twittering, and domestic IT

Over the last few months my perception of online presence, both professionally and socially, has changed quite a bit. Everything is becoming more interactive, and from the point of view of someone who publishes content, it’s really great to know that people are reading your ramblings, and constructive feedback is vital to enhancing that experience. […]  Read more »

106 Rallye For Sale and MOT

The Peugeot 106 Rallye passed its MOT without advisories today which is a real bonus. Now that Diane is working from home we don’t need a commuter car, so we’ve decided it makes sense to sell it and rely on the tractor and super saloon. Here’s the advert I put together at the weekend: http://mukerji.co.uk/cars/1998-peugeot-106-rallye-for-sale/ […]  Read more »
