Had a really good sleep after previous night's deprivation. Occupational Health report arrives, and is pretty much as expected. Got tiles for chessboard project - need to measure up and find wood now. Much hacking on gwvedit this afternoon. Went to Bristol to see comedy which was cancelled, moved elsewhere and eventually sold out! Ended up at the Fleece and Firkin, watching The Soul Destroyers who were entertaining - especially the massive brass section!
Barely slept due to jitters. Is it wrong to want a PDA? Considering (seriously) the Handspring Visor as an interim solution to my gadget-hunger. Airline tickets for GUADEC arrive. Job interview goes reasonably well, and I'm relieved to have done OK in the technical test, despite its DOS/Win32 basis. Should hear within the week. Later, ended up out with some ex-work people which was actually a lot of fun.
Some rapid re-learning about Heuristic Evalution of User Interfaces today (courtesy of Jakob Neilson's useit.com). Much random updating too - Nautilus goes 1.0, also grabbed recent bonobo, gconf, oaf, and upgraded the Control Center at the request of Nautilus. Otherwise, drank an awful lot of coffee and generally panicked a lot.
Shock news of reasonably major interview on Friday! Sort of throws things into a spin, but in a good way. Evolution builds OK again - and 0.9/Platypus is out today too. Much as like Nautilus, I'm concerned about how slow it seems to react to things I do, despite being quite speedy at stuff it wants to do (does any of that make sense?). I.P.Knightley (dare I say predictably?) sweep the board at the Brit Quiz once again.

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.
