Went to the Bristol Balloon Fiesta Nightglow last night. Pretty amazing really, I'd only ever seen it on TV before and that really doesn't do it justice. Read Larry Wall's announcement of Perl 6, and all the associated follow-up about what will (and won't) be part of it. Started reading Pan to read news a couple of days ago - so far so good.
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.
