My Experience As A School Network Monitor


"If you have nothing to fear, you have nothing to hide."
Joseph Goebbels

I've already written about this, but for two months last year I worked in a secondary school as an IT technician. It was just a work experience role, so my responsibilities were limited. Sometimes I was able to fix a problem, most of the time I would just gather as much info as I could before passing it onto a colleague. Often I was given the menial jobs, or 'side-quests' as I liked to call them. I would patrol after-school, change print toners, fill in data entry. Easy stuff for a luddite such as myself.

(Also, I assure you this article is perfectly safe for work.)

'The Danish Girl'

So it's January. That means all the films trying to win Oscars are all coming out in a shameless attempt to stick out in the Academy's minds come vote-time. God, I hate the Oscars...

Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens REVIEW


Sod it. I have nothing insightful or important to say (do I ever?) so I might as well review a movie.

On 'Star Wars'

I realise things have been getting a bit depressing on this blog recently. Whilst I could argue that the world at the moment is depressing, and I'm trying yet failing to find any redeeming qualities - I understand that this blog is supposed to be about art and all this moody political stuff is probably tiring. Sorry.
