1. I’ve been back from Iceland for two weeks now, but Google Translate is still in Icelandic. Any ideas on how to fix this? Other Google services appear to have reverted to English again.

  2. Got some little bits of work done on my site today — fixed a spam archiving issue, got leaflet-based maps working again and made note locations editable. Lots more to come soon, hopefully…

  3. Just bought my one-way flight out of Iceland. In just under a month I say goodbye to this beautiful island for the near future. I shall be writing more soon about my experiences here, and what I’m getting up to next!

  4. Looking through archives, I realise the real reason I stopped doing animation was after coming up with “The Spaghetti Entanglement”, I realised that nothing I ever made would be worthy of that name.

  5. Self esteem tip: rather than searching the web for “how to [do xyz basic life skill you really should know by now]”, search for “optimal [xyz basic life skill] technique”.

  6. Rediscovered my lost Icelandic phone whilst packing. It doesn’t seem to be charging or turning on correctly. Mixed feelings about this, at least the SIM is still working.

  7. Finally figured out how to persuade my oven to get hot enough to bake decent pizza — needs 10mins in fan+broiler mode, then fan oven at top temp until heated sufficiently.
