Here’s something that I often wonder about when buying a lottery ticket: Is the National Lottery’s Lucky Dip algorithm truly pseudo-random, or is it rigged to pick from a pool of statistically/historically less-likely numbers? Further more, who regulates the algorithm, and is it independently tested?
The same goes for those online Flash ’scratchcard’ games.

I just finished off a bowl of Gujarati Red Dal with Riata Soup, from Eat in Cambridge. Eat do some very, very nice freshly made soups, but I’d say this one is probably the nicest soup I’ve ever had.

Flat
Moved into the flat last Friday, and am still moving bits in slowly
Internet
Should have internet installed tomorrow morning, provided Virgin Media do as they promise first time around (rare, in my experience).
Not that I care much, since I’ve been sharing a space with friends, the social interaction / Mario Karting more than supplements any online social activities I used to engage in whilst alone at home!
Twitter
Also just installed Twitter + Plugin as a lot of the stuff in my head isn’t worthy of a blog post.
Stay tuned, I have a fairly useful Tech post coming up tomorrow!

Just found a few minutes to update Wordpress and a few plugins
Things with the flat in Cambridge are progressing well, and we should get the keys tomorrow, hooray!
Also, at some point, I need to upload photos that Jade and I took on our recent trip to the beautiful island of Jersey
