    (Oh I bloody hope so). OK, so the next Star Wars film is out in the middle of next month – not long now. I’m not expecting much from it, but none-the-less I will prepare myself in the proper way. I’ll fall to my weaker side and actually order the Attack of the Clones DVD…

    Apple’s latest version of their Mac OS X operating system, named Tiger, has been given a release date of just a couple of weeks away: Friday April 29th.

    Jack’s starting to watch films and DVDs, so I bought the Stuart Little box set a while ago (remember the mouse?) He loves both films, and must have watched them 20 to 30 times each. I didn’t understand why he kept asking for the second film though, rather than the first. True, Stuart Little is…

    Clearing out my paperwork this morning, I discovered that I finished paying off my student loans this month! Yey! I finished my first degree in 1996, and elected to begin paying off these loans sometime after coming back to the UK and starting work as a post-doc. I remember not earning enough to *have to*…

    By the way, for all that don’t know, I’m now on holiday! I’m going to try and relax for a week or so, so nobody mention the word “work” to me. To this end, I won’t be checking my email much, so if you don’t hear from me I’m not ignoring you.
