You've got the wrong Doctor Jones
jonbeckett.posterous.com ― Following an attack of wonderlust at the end of 2011, I have begun two seperate blogs. I have no idea if this will work, if I'll stick at it, or anything else at the moment. I just know I'm too busy to carry on hosting my own blog. The results... (more)

When SysAdmins Ruled The Earth

You're in the wrong place...
jonbeckett.posterous.com ― After much thought, I've decided not to use Posterous for a personal blog. It's a great platform for all kinds of other uses, but doesn't really work for me - for my thoughts, stories, and idiotic pontificating. If you do want to carry on reading... (more)

Monday Night Hotel Club

Here we are again
