A rather terse walkthrough on setting up OpenLDAP to read contacts from SugarCRM's contacts database under MySQL5.

A walkthrough of a method to install Apple's old Rhapsody Developer Release 2 Operating System under the VMWare virtualisation system.

A manifesto for human-computer and human-human interaction; an accidental prophecy; an accurate nonsense; a memo and a memory.

Things not to do in the Science Museum.

Galactic Blunder II; a partial sequel to the now-lost Cyberbunnies video "Galactic Blunder". Co-written with Adam Peckham.

The birth of the character Artaxerxes through the concept of rotation. Probably the nearest thing to the stone language without actually living it.

A memory of being someone's monster. An early piece, so has rough edges.

Both depressing and ridiculous at the same time. Contains IRC. Written during a depression several years ago, so has rough edges.

Not entirely sure where this came from. It just happened.

A uncharacteristically optimistic and social poem; probably because it was co-written with and based on an idea by Ser.

A fractured logic could be one in which there are islands of provably true and untrue statements seperated by deep rivers of the unprovably true and unprovably untrue, surrounded by a vast sea of the meaningless.
This is a kind of love song without a tune. It has an accompaniment described by the colour of streetlights reflecting off snowdrifts in the north of England at around 2am.

A tribute and a respectful parody of P. B. Shelley's poem "Ozymandias". The poem grew from the first and last verses and eventually met in the middle. For bonus points, spot the Terry Pratchett reference.

My new translation of Petrarch's Rime Sparse 102; this time in something that hopefully approximates English verse.

Not so much a translation as a cinematic paraphrase of an extract from the story of Ceyx and Alcyone in Ovid's Metamorphoses XI. Doesn't really do the original justice.

A translation of Petrarch's Rime Sparse 102 from the Italian into modern English, originally made in 2001 and updated to read better in August 2006.
