Welcome

Welcome to rho.org.uk, a little web site maintained by Rob Hague
(see below). There's a variety of stuff here - poke around and see
what you find.

Rob Hague
|
|
As mentioned above, this site is written and maintained by
Rob Hague, an expert at talking about himself in the third person.
Rob's
homepage can be found here.
In 2002, he tried (and succeeded) to
write a novel in
a month. At some point he'll take the logo off the front page. But not
yet.

Software
|
|
I occasionally write things that might be of some use to
other people (and isn't owned by some
huge corporation
or other). Some of this can
be found here.

Mac OS X Odds & Sods
|
|
I've had an Apple iBook for a while now, an have generally been very pleased with it. I've created a
virtual dumping ground for my musings about Mac OS X here.

Links
|
|
This page is a collection of
links to useful/interesting/fun stuff that I've come
across.
You may have arrived here by mistake; if you're an opera
fan, try roh.org.uk. If you're
looking for Reproductive Health Outlook, they're
here.
I also collaborate with Ben Chalmers to produce the
Imaginary Movie
Database, a site dedicated to those films that other sources
seem to miss. We've not updated in a while, but we'll start again Real Soon Now. Honest.

Yay!
|
|
I did it! At a little after 6:30 tonight, I passed the 50,00 word
mark. I've got a couple of sections left to write, and I want to tidy it
up a bit before I submit it to NaNoWriMo and print it out, but,
basically, yay!
|
|
|
|
Going well...
|
|
Things are going quite well; I'm ahead of schedule, and it
looks like I'll make 50,000 by Saturday (probably on
Saturday. Anyway, I have a plan for the remaining
5,614 words, and I plan to try to get about 1,000 words ahead
tonight, so should be able to turn up at The Moon On The Water
on Sunday brandishing a completed novel. Wiigii!

|
Now with added validation!
|
|
I've rejigged the pages so that they validate as proper XHTML
(Transitional only, I'm afraid. I do some murky things with
tables in order to get reasonable results for everything back to
Netscape 4, and I don't think it's time to give those up just
yet.) See the buttons at the bottom of the page...

Head above water
|
|
I managed to (finally) get back on track last Saturday, and
have managed to stay on the right side of the green line since
then. I'm not very far ahead of schedule, but at least I'll be
able to hold my head up high at the Cambridge NaNoWriMo meet
tonight. (Not many people have responded - I think it got a bit
overshadowed by the London event - but, hey, it's an excuse to
go to the pub.)

|
Wiigii!
|
|
It all started with some comic book character mugs Steven has.
Anyway, to cut a long story short, I've spent far too much time this week
reading the archives of
It's Walky, right back from when it used
to be called "Roomies" and everyone had big, big hair. I highly recommend it
(it even seemed to actually increase my producutivity; I've no idea how.)

D'Oh!
|
|
It's a sad day; I've dropped below the green line. Actually, I was
expecting this by this point, but it's not too bad; I should be able to
catch up at the weekend.
|
|
|
|
Almost ahead of myself.
|
|
Only managed to make it to 8228 words, so (unless I do a
couple of hundred at some point today, which I'll probably not get
a chance to), I'll slip below the green line. Still, I guess I can
catch up tomorrow...
|
|
|
|
Above the line (just)
|
|
Not a bad weekend; I've managed to stick to the
2000-words-a-day target without too much hassle. As tomorrow is
Bonfire Night, I'll not be getting anything done, so I'm going
to try and get ahead of myself (8500 at least, maybe 9000)
tonight.
On Ben's suggestion, I've also added a "Triangle of Delight"
to the graph; this involved some disgusting Gnuplot hackery, but
it works.

These Words Don't Count
|
|
As you can see, I've got off to a flying start, pissing
around with this web page instead of getting todays 2000 words
in. Still, it's workable now, so I don't really have an excuse
to not work on the novel...
