Preliminary course materials for T171 arrive. Mainly a bunch of "How to use Windows 95" stuff. After playing with the various things they expect of us students I don't think there is anything I can't do with my 'non-standard' operating system! Decided best start on Gtkdial 0.3 was to clean up the code. Now trudging through the spaghetti I've been routinely generating and trying to make sure I've not broken anything... Busy afternoon running errands, which was actually fun - time pressure having not been much of a factor in life here lately.
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.
