So this page gains another (and very dedicated!) reader. This results in me spiraling back through the Daylog wonder just exactly what I'd written. Actually, life hasn't been so bad this past year, despite some random calamities (which weren't even all my fault in most cases!). More messing about with CVS versions of stuff - finally got a new bonobo up and running late tonight. Had lunch with a long-lost (to me at least!) ex-colleague yesterday which as ever resulted in lots of amusing tales of confusion and gerontology. Somehow this reminded me just how desperate my work situation had become before I took decisive action. Preparing for more of the same next week... Later, watched "It's a Wonderful Life" - a corny festive season thing to do? Maybe, but still one of the most moving films ever made.
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.
