Daylog Entry for Monday 04/03/2002 24 years ago

A curious day - nice to not be working. Finished my obsessive clean-up from yesterday, and stayed tidy all day. Frustrated by not being able to get in touch with people. Took advantage of time off to visit someone I almost never see nowadays this afternoon. Finally managed a long telephone call, which made me feel a little less concerned later. Some splendidly silly TV on tonight, which helps - and a quite tense University Challenge semi-final. Later, I was surprised to be visited with some art. I really like the sculpture - made me think of Barbara Hepworth and her garden.

After a weird few days where I've been strangely preoccupied with stuff I can't possibly change (possibly work-situation-related/post Principia startup blues?), feeling much better. Over to Burnham this morning, since the buses are sorted out - got some amazing views from Bleadon Hill on the way. Also writing code again for the first time in a while. Started work in earnest on the wvdial configuration editor for Gtkdial 0.3.x. This involved some relatively painful reminders about doubly-linked lists, and has resulted in some of the most appallingly obfuscated code I've ever written - still, the concept is solid!

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.
