I can heartily recommend "And Away..." by Bob Mortimer. It's not tech, policy or philosophy, but it brought my spirits up when I was feeling sad.

I love this baked lemon cheesecake recipe - I skip the sultanas though and lemon slices on top.

Not sure what's up with the quantity of some of the ingredients, but I use 142g of sour cream and 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla essence.

A man after my own heart. Good luck!

... but also simultaneously a billion dollar industry!

In response to the Street Fighter cast?

All the pandering to Russian interests, you've got to wonder what exactly the Kremlin has on him, don't you?

I plugged my PS3 in over the weekend and was amazed to find that I didn't need to install anything - games just run from Blu-Ray.

It's like living in the future.

It's definitely giving Liberty Walk vibes...

Strangely I've been looking at PS3 games today too.

My PS3 Slim's been stored away for years (apart from being brought out to swap the CMOS battery), but I've got a hankering to hook it back up.

Games are so unbelievably cheap for it...

One thing to note though - USB transfers always seem to show filesystem errors when mounting the Brick in Windows. I've found it's much easier to use the network share instead.

I've also found that it's much quicker to transfer files if you open OD-Commander...

I can understand this to a degree. Saw a bidet for the first time when I was 7 on holiday. Mum and dad couldn't stop laughing after I told them I'd washed my face in "the little sink".
