Anonymouslemming: April 2007

http://anonymouslemming.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html

Wednesday, April 18, 2007. Well, I've not posted in a while, but in my defense, I've been busy. I've wrecked the car, jumped a Skyvan, got some great medication to sort out the car wreck and just generally been all over the place. But that's not what I'm here to talk about today. I still want to get down to below 71KG, but I'll wait until after the SA vacation to do that. Until I get the car repaired, I'm going to be eating too many takeouts and other such junk :).

Anonymouslemming: June 2007

Friday, June 29, 2007. Chaos is just another word. Chaos is just another word for opportunity, and by that yardstick I'm off to a bountiful land of opportunity. I'm going to pack the camera, so I'm hoping to post some decent pictures over the next few months, and I'll update this diary at least once a week. I can type on the plane after all ;). This lemming is going wandering in Africa - and you just know. That's going to result in some great stories! Posted by Anonymouslemming at 6:36 am. My first jump ...

Monday, January 22, 2007. On of the biggest projects out there doing stuff with public domain works is Project Gutenberg. The only downside to using this project as our best-case example is that it's BOOORRRRINNNGG! How often do we have to discover that turmeric rice is good for us (and if we're lucky get a bogus patent in the progress) and that mercury does not make a good after dinner snack? Or heaven forbid, Gary Larson? Think of the lemmings here people! That's where Neil Gaiman. Someone trying to tu...

Friday, July 07, 2006. A 12 step programme for skydivers. I've been thinking about freefall far. Too much lately, so late last night I finally came up with a 12 step programme for skydivers. I humbly share this genius with you all. Jump out of plane. Land safely and go again. I never said it was to help skydivers quit, just that it was to help skydivers! Posted by Anonymouslemming at 5:37 pm. Links to this post. Sunday, July 02, 2006. Require a change of shorts and we could proceed. He checked throug...

Wednesday, February 28, 2007. Introducing 'One till syndrome'. On 8 December 2006, I was standing in line with about 80 other people at Game in Beckton waiting for the Wii to start selling when I first recognised this syndrome. This didn't apply to them. So what did Game do? They opened 1 till. Since this first incident, I've noticed more and more instances of one till syndrome. In our society and it doesn't just apply to retail situations that have tills. The Iron Maiden concert, where there were no...

Anonymouslemming: December 2006

Wednesday, December 20, 2006. Jump 42 - In loving memory of Andy Knowles. Picture the scene. I'm 13,000 feet above the ground clinging desperately to the outside of a PAC 750XL. There's a gentleman inside the plane giving me a look that says 'Get in or get off, but make up your mind.' Another two second of fighting the propwash, and I give up. I give him one last manic look, roll my eyes and let go. It's not an elegant exit, but I'm in the air again for the first time in 68 days. Links to this post.

Wednesday, July 25, 2007. Some days you're the bug. Some days you're the windshield. Some days you're just the car in the ditch on the side of the road. Today you're the poor shmoe reading an extra long edition of the Lemming's travels. But in my defense, it's been a while since I had the time to sit down and write. No shit, there I was (no, this isn't a skydiving story - pay attention! Now I must interrupt these tales of globe trotting adventure for some personal reflection time. This is not somethi...

Anonymouslemming: March 2007

http://anonymouslemming.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html

Sunday, March 04, 2007. Turning 31 on a 15 minute call. So I turned 31. That's the bad news. The good news is that I did it with a certain amount of style. On 2 March 2007 at around 17:30 I was standing in the door of a Twin Otter. Looking at my instructor. 3 seconds later I was in freefall trying to learn to float up instead of just falling down. About 55 seconds later I had the most beautiful canopy in the world above my head and I was enjoying the sights. Track into the distance and it was time for my...

Saturday, May 27, 2006. Freedom to wear shorts. It's good to know that Iraq is free. The people now enjoy such luxuries as the freedom to wear short pants. Unfortunately, as with all freedoms, sometimes there are consequences. Like being shot and killed for wearing short pants. Posted by Anonymouslemming at 8:48 am. Links to this post. A Lemming wandering around the world doing whatever takes his fancy. Stay a while and share my madness. London, United Kingdom. View my complete profile. You walk into the...
