Some rapid re-learning about Heuristic Evalution of User Interfaces today (courtesy of Jakob Neilson's useit.com). Much random updating too - Nautilus goes 1.0, also grabbed recent bonobo, gconf, oaf, and upgraded the Control Center at the request of Nautilus. Otherwise, drank an awful lot of coffee and generally panicked a lot.
Shock news of reasonably major interview on Friday! Sort of throws things into a spin, but in a good way. Evolution builds OK again - and 0.9/Platypus is out today too. Much as like Nautilus, I'm concerned about how slow it seems to react to things I do, despite being quite speedy at stuff it wants to do (does any of that make sense?). I.P.Knightley (dare I say predictably?) sweep the board at the Brit Quiz once again.
Completed my first TMA of the year, and submitted it via the eTMA system (after a frustrating series of 'server busy' messages). Weird getting back to writing again, and strange to be writing about something which is sort of an every day event here! Also highly strange to be submitting an assignment with days to spare before the cut-off date. Avoided gwvedit yet again.
So, my clay pigeon shooting next weekend is cancelled due to foot and mouth (I refuse to call it a 'crisis'). My total abandonment of Socialism will just have to wait. Got Dansk/Engelsk phrasebook and a little Copenhagen guide so I at least know where I am, and finalised my hotel arrangements (expensive, but central). One hotel's website promised that their 'female escorts' were 'never pushy'! Pix remains somewhat subdued, but seems to be reintegrating nicely. Have managed to find far more important things to do which avoid going near gwvedit, but can't hope to stave it off for much longer.

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.
