Minor work irritation. Trying to stay in touch with phoneless friends without network has been painful too - tried to resolve misunderstandings caused by me not being around to reply to mail, then not reading it properly in the few snatched seconds between panics. Replacement monitor arrives - worth the expense, installs without any trouble and feels comfortable once I've adjusted to it. Forgot I was meant to be somewhere else tonight, which was possibly cancelled anyway. Slight concern that I'm slipping out of favour in many quarters just now.
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.
