The biggest political demonstration in British history and in predictable form, I wasn't there. Friends were, and report that it was an inspirational occasion. Early visitors, then a trip out to Sterling Books for a pleasant chat and some unintentional purchases. Later, watched England's scrappy triumph over France in the Rugby and drank too much. Watched half of a set by the always entertaining Loose Change, then far too much to eat at the Bengal Raj.

Early start in bright and cold weather. Trains run perfectly. Met jf at Waterloo and caught the Eurostar, which was a trainspotter's ambition fulfilled. Just prior to departure, received SMS message that the laptop had been delivered. Much relief. Met Hallski and was introduced to Uriel. Later met Geert who was an excellent host and an all-round nice guy. Excellent food, late night. Drifted to the pre-arranged FOSDEM mailing list meet, where a few familiar faces from Dublin and Copenhagen were lurking.

Woke up feeling industrious and reasonably happy. Imagine! Achieved much domestic progress early on, including fixing the porchlight, managing to both burn myself on the lightbulb and blind myself staring into the unseasonal sunshine! Read Miguel De Icaza's Gnome 2.0 roadmap with interest and some trepidation. Some CVS weirdness leaves me with very old gal source, and no Evolution!
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.
