Ah' Been Doin' Things

I took out lots of books from the library again, but this time from the local library, not the Birmingham Central Library. One AS level computing, which doesn't seem very well written, but I have gone throught that making the best of it. Been looking up things on the net to help
me. I am liking all this binary, hex, octal, buisiness - except my 16 and 256 times table aren't very good.
Among the other books are a guide to networking (basic stuff) and XML. Now i have too many books to read, but I quite like it that way. There are also books on maths and physics.
Yesterday I went to St. Paul's church
and St. Chad's Cathedral in Birmingham for the first time and discovered that the latter was designed and built by Pugin, and Mathew Bolton used to frequent the former.


I received Tongue under a Ton of Nine Volters by Meadow House. It's Dan Wilson's Hellebore Shew CD. The artwork on the cover is as fantastic as the songs. I bought it from the Resonance 104.4 online shop. A tenner.

Some of the pigeons around the city centre look very ill: feather battered, sluggish and waddling. Waddling isn't the pigeon way. It's the duck way, but not the pigeon way.

Have you been listening to any of the Resonance FM Podcasts?

In addition to Epistaxis Time and The Exciting Hellebore Shew (from which the album's content was culled), you migh also enjoy the curiously ornithological humor of Hooting Yard.
