Spent much of the day anxiously awaiting the activation of the Principia domain name, so I could get the bare bones of the site up and running. As of 6pm its active, but not yet fully propagated to the world's DNS servers. New Arab Strap record sneaks out today, and is pretty amazing, if desperately bleak - but perhaps I'm looking at it from a different perspective nowadays? Applied for another job. No word from the last one yet....Saw Almost Famous - best film I've seen in ages, and it dispelled the rumour I'd been spreading only this lunchtime that Peter Frampton was dead.
I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.
I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
