Long, tiring week - much of it without sleep. Lots of visiting and preparation for friend's return from hospital. Used birthday book token to get Peter Ackroyd's "London - The Biography" despite some of my reservations - proves to be compelling. This is also the first 'normal' weekend for a while, which gives me a chance to potter around the place sorting things out and doing chores. Sat down and puzzled over GTK+-2.0 tree widgets for ages, which results in a clunky and slow front-end to pkg-config
.
I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.
I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
