Goblin's Blog: May 2005

http://thegoblinsblog.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html

My life in Taipei and then UK. Tuesday, May 31, 2005. I gave up after 5 times and called my credit card company. They say that my security code was not verified. I'm doubtful about that, 5 times in a row. But sod it, there are other methods of payment right? So I'm thinking, there must be a way arond this, surely I can give them a cell phone number for Taiwan. No, they need a British cell phone number. Posted by GoblinBlog @ 5:36 am. Yesterday we went and climbed a mountain, actually, no point in lying a...

Goblin's Blog: April 2005

http://thegoblinsblog.blogspot.com/2005_04_01_archive.html

My life in Taipei and then UK. Wednesday, April 27, 2005. There's no internet at work today. I hate when that happens. What is one supposed to do at lunchtime? We have lots of work. I could be doing that. The daily report thing appears to have resulted in a flurry of messages from upstairs saying I'm doign well. I should be pleased but I am now consumed with paranoia and fear I may not be filling my sheet in the same as everyone else. Posted by GoblinBlog @ 3:20 pm. Tuesday, April 26, 2005. The Scottish ...

Goblin's Blog: October 2005

http://thegoblinsblog.blogspot.com/2005_10_01_archive.html

My life in Taipei and then UK. Monday, October 31, 2005. I can't decide whether to enter the NaNoWriMo. I'm childish and it's halloween, so I guess you may be expecting the foillowing picture:. This paragraph has spoilers about the movie Flightplan. I watched Flightplan yestreday and it's supid. I mean it's really stupid. I thought it was going to be a bit lame when I read that it was about a woman who loses her daughter on a flight. I mean, how can that happen? The plot just doesn't work. My immediate a...

Goblin's Blog: February 2005

My life in Taipei and then UK. Sunday, February 27, 2005. A quick Sunday entry. A quick Sunday entry. You don't get that very often. But I have a couple of things to report, and you may not get an entry tomorrow since it's a national holiday. On the way home we saw a rat the size of a small donkey, just sitting in the street.The people swarming around didn't seem to bother it at all. Posted by GoblinBlog @ 2:37 pm.

Goblin's Blog: August 2005

http://thegoblinsblog.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html

My life in Taipei and then UK. Wednesday, August 31, 2005. I just had a Framemaker crash and lost hours of work. It's not been a good day so far. It would really make it perfect if I couldn't get home. I'm going to give eDonkey a try I think. I get a bit frustrated with Bearshare after a while. I'll keep you posted on that. It swears there's no spyware, which is more than we can say for some other file sharing apps. Posted by GoblinBlog @ 3:41 pm. Yes, another one! What is the attraction of rebellion?

Goblin's Blog: March 2005

http://thegoblinsblog.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html

My life in Taipei and then UK. Thursday, March 31, 2005. I'm not sure how long I have to write this today as I have to go out on a client visit shortly. I was awoken by a phone call at 4 am last night. I have no idea who it was. It stopped before I got there and there was no number. I thought there had been a family emergency or something, but no emergency e-mail was waiting for me this morning, so I guess we should put it down to a wrong number. Nothing else to report.

Goblin's Blog: November 2005

http://thegoblinsblog.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html

My life in Taipei and then UK. Tuesday, November 29, 2005. Still packing, and fed up with it. Two more boxes are bound for England today. The house looks like a tip and my back aches. I see Dickie has finally done his 5 weird things that he was tagged about. I very seldom agree with anything Greenpeace has to say. They're not environmentalist, they're anti globalists and they're not doign anyone any good. However, they managed to disrupt a Tony Blair speech today and that's good in my book. A...In answer...

Goblin's Blog: June 2005

My life in Taipei and then UK. Thursday, June 30, 2005. Id cards, and what we should all be asking. This is in response to January Girl who has asked me exactly what my objections to id cards are. I consider my anonymity to be a right. It's not an id card scheme. Who's ging to keep my data safe? Biometrics are not good or security. In fact biometrics don't even work very well. And while we're on the subject of biometrics, have you actually wondered how effective biometrics are at identifying people?

My life in Taipei and then UK. Thursday, July 28, 2005. How the Hell did that Happen? OK everyone, listen up, this is important. I just found out I'm going to be a father. I'll just type that again to make sure everyone appreciates the magnitude of the statement; I'm going to be a father! See how irrisponsible I am? I'm thinking of writing a user manual for babies, or a father's hand book or something. I have lots of ideas percolating. Posted by GoblinBlog @ 7:25 am. Wednesday, July 27, 2005. I've just g...
