The proof is just a pudding

2008-07-08T10:56:51Z

Where the hell have I been?

2008-06-12T14:51:47Z

Er, yeah. Not near the interwebs every day. But alive and well, fear not. I've been buying lots of books on Amazon and catching up on my reading, going out for coffees, catching up with friends old and new, watching the DVD backlog, making tasty ...
