Early hours upgrade to Kernel 2.2.19 (note my continuing reluctance to go the 2.4 way!). This ensures reasonable sleep, but somehow either this or some pam and krb5 fixes from Red Hat have completely broken lpd! GP visit early on gives food for thought, and increases trepidation levels in these parts. Another failure to perform in the Brit Quiz, in part due to being exhausted and dismayed.
Playing with voltron's iThought, a little app that manages your thoughts and notes, and distributes them to various places by way of simple to write modules. Working on a little Perl thing to post them to this very daylog. Forgot in the turmoil of the last few days that the first essay of the year is back - managed 79, not bad I suppose. Went on a surprise cinema trip to Bristol to see Sånger från andra våningen. A really fine film, if somewhat bizarre in places. Recommended.
Not a great day in many respects. Firstly, suffering from my flippant and idiotic sense of humour and needing to make a number of apologetic replies to e-mail received in the wake of some IRC sillyness. Second, discovered that I didn't get the job. Feel somewhat limited in my options from here on in. More hacking on gwvedit - most of the framework is done now, and its just a case of writing the backend to the preferences and file saving parts. Broken wvdial.conf files no doubt loom.
Caught up on a great deal of e-mail which has accumulated over the past few days. Another delivery of records and tapes due to my parents house move reveals a few treasures. Goodness knows where it's all going to be stowed however. Spent much of the day online upgrading various bits and bobs and chattering away. Need to pull my finger out this coming week and sort out DKK for GUADEC, and whether we have now synched with Euro time by moving into BST?

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.
