Pog Poem
A literary masterpiece from How To Love Your Dog - Kelly's Poetry Page:
"My Dog
by Kristen, Age 11
Connecticut USA
I have a dog,
He is really cool,
He loves to play fetch,
and also drool."

Geek heaven
I am officially in geek heaven - my name is in the credits for a videogame.
If you buy and complete the beautiful if brief Fable from Lionhead games, and sit through the credits (so you can carry on goofing around in the world after the story is over), you will see the name Paul Fisher Davies in the section headed 'Work Experience Testers' (or something like that).
Actually the game was released before I was due to test - which is today, in fact - and in the end it proved too expensive and impractical for me to make it to Guildford. But nonetheless my name worked its way into the list.
So ta to Lionhead and Big Blue Box for making my geek day!

Firefox - Rediscover the web
Having found Internet Explorer incapable of displaying the odd site or two correctly - if at all - I decided I'd try Mozilla's Firefox browser for a change. And a very nice change it is too. :)

Wiki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Wikipedia just gets better and better. Link to link to link, with full, well-organised entries, you can waste hours.
Um, like I've just done. :)

Sudan Benefit
Got this email from Justin, as a Brightonian Blogger, to let any local folk know about the following event:
Sorry for the unsolicited mail - I'm part of a crew putting together a benefit for Sudan. It's at Po Na Na in Brighton next Thursday (9th) ...Consider yourself plugged, for what it's worth here!
At this stage we're getting a bit desparate - we're having trouble selling tickets. I know this is extremely cheeky but I was wondering if any of you Brighton Bloggers would be so kind as to plug the benefit of your sites? Tickets are available 2-for-1 from Hedonizm on Trafalgar Street.

Reporting back in
Blimey, didn't realise the Cabin had been silent for so long.
I've moved house, just round the corner, to live with my Boo just minutes from the sea. And it is lovely.
Been working over the summer and bought a surround sound system. Moving house means you have to rejig almost everything - the wiring of your hi-fi, your internet provider, mobile phone network, bill payment routines and so on and so forth. So it's taken a good month to settle back into routine.
Will shortly become bored enough again to restart blogging. :)

R and J is Famous! ish
I picked up a copy of this years's University of Sussex prospectus to find that the drama page is almost entirely illustrated in images from my and Adam MacRae's production of Romeo and Juliet. No credit, of course, but a quiet sense of Kudos. :)
