First essay mark of the year. Pretty good too. Faith and confidence restored. Should probably try to get some reading done then. Have been lazy but distracted by world events. Things seem to be underway, but not entirely running smoothly. Worried for people close (by association).

Saw Iris at a the community run Curzon Cinema in Clevedon. I've heard lots about the Curzon, but had never been there. Its very old, but atmospheric - apparently there is much of the old place (including balconies and oak-panelled tearooms) hidden and awaiting restoration. It was absurdly cheap, comfortable and generally a really pleasant night. Spent much of the past few days at work furiously entering data into a Home Care scheduling system, which despite it lacking the ability to schedule, goes live tomorrow. Visited my new office today - which was sort of odd, but made me feel much less apprehensive about a new job. It's all pretty exciting in fact. A few visitors who I've known for ages pass by the office, and wish me luck too - which is always nice. Bunged a few CVS snapshots of GNOME2 bits and bobs on the downloads page.

Busy day. Took Pix to the vet early, and found it extremely difficult to leave her there. Much cheered by the Vet's staff being so pleased to see her safe and well after her excursion however. Couldn't really settle to anything else all day, apart from some minor (and hardly fruitful) hacking on gwvedit. Second interview seems to go OK, and if nothing else is very relaxing and not too stressful. The outcome however, remains to be seen..... Latest build of Evolution collapses when emptying trash, and every time it's closed! Hmm....
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.
