So, my job is apparently not under immediate threat, but things are still tenuous in some ways. The new Compaq Armada laptop arrived this morning. Got things up and running in record time (even X on the elusive Framebuffer which caused so many headaches last time). In fact, thing are far simpler - sound is a bit flaky, but the only thing not working is an evil winmodem, but since this appears to be a Lucent chipset, maybe linmodems.org can help? Currently downloading 62mb worth of RedHat and Ximian updates. Realised last night that I have become an object of ridicule here. Perhaps it hasn't sunk in yet. Not sure what to think. A quiet weekend will probably be best spent in reflection....

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.
