The Making of Ashen's Tech Dump
A diary by Stuart Ashen.
6:30am Woke up to sound of local DJ being incompetent. Ate 17 Shredded Wheat. Checked the battery on my iPhone 3GS charged overnight - battery at 100%, all OK.
6:50am Left house for walk to Norwich train station. iPhone battery at 73%.
7:30am Arrived at station. Caught train to London. Sat next to a quivering tramp with consumption.
7:35am Checked e-mails.
7:37am iPhone battery dead.
7:38am Attempted to charge iPhone using external USB battery I got from Ebay.
7:39am Put out fire.
7:47am Fell asleep.
9:02am Woke up with a line of snot extending from my nose to my trousers. Everyone in the carriage staring at me.
67:C9im Temporarily forgot how human reckoning of time works.
9:26am Arrived at Liverpool Street Station.

2:00pmÌý Lunch.
2:25pmÌý Continued to produce a short comedy show so good that fictional characters willed themselves into existence just so they could watch it.
