Trains remain stupidly overcrowded (flagged a wedged 150 tonight through sheer boredom with other peoples armpits). Work busy as hell - ironically now I finally have a GP, having huge disagreements with the rest of the profession!
Time to add to the daylog whilst MySQL 3.23.27 compiles quietly in the background. Productive morning so far, and actually feeling reasonably optimistic. Figuring if I can get through a week like the last one, I'm unstoppable! Much job application activity this week too, which helps. Got caller ID box working again (thank goodness!) and paid huge phone bill - hopefully the last if Surftime works out as planned. Slightly concerned about high load averages at the moment...
Rail disruption continues in the wake of the Lawrence Hill collision, and is beginning to render me absolutely knackered due to general uncertainty and long waits. Work is now extremely difficult - hence the Gnortal has seem some serious stress testing (and a minor update or two)! Wondering about messing about with a webcam, just for the experience, but fear that the world is just not ready for MikeGTN-pr0n.

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.
