 <p>A long list of not very interesting facts about me, in no particular order:</p>
 <ul>
-<li>I live in London.  I don\'t like it much, and next year hope to live somewhere in Europe.  Hire me to come do your e-learning stuff!</li>
-<li>I was born in Dunedin, New Zealand on the 19th of April, 1980</li>

 <li>I feel the cold, and love electric blankets, heaters, and fires</li>
-<li>I like <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_rewrite.html">mod_rewrite</a> a whole lot</li>
 <li>I prefer command line interfaces to graphical ones. Really the only graphical UI I use now is a browser.  I often make scathing remarks about pointyclicky interfaces.</li>
 <li>I am one of those annoying outspoken version control system people. I like git.</li>
-<li>I have a cat called Nothing, named after a character in a book I read when I was 16.  She\'s still in Wellington.</li>
+<li>I have a cat called Nothing, named after a character in a book I read when I was 16.  She came all the way to Switzerland with me from  Wellington.</li>
 <li>I like my mail to arrive at least digitally signed</li>
 <li>I fight the urge to write an \'email etiquette\' article and point people to it frequently.  One day I\'m sure this will happen though as people who breach email etiquette make me grind my teeth with rage.  To summarise:
