Silence for a couple of days - I actually got back home on Boxing Day, but apart from a quiet little secondary gift-exchanging that evening, I’ve done pretty much nothing - this is the first time I’ve got the machine out of its case since I got back.
I’m off to the office to check that […]

My first blogging Chrismas dawned a beautiful, bright, crisp one - it’s really lovely out. I’m taking a break from getting lunch ready to send a few seasonal emails and do this posting, but I may even go out and have a bit of a walk, it’s that nice out.

My ongoing quest to get broadband into the flat continues with the latest installment of the long-running “BT really are crap, aren’t they?” saga:
My flat can’t currently receive broadband, because of something to do with the local exchange. So I signed-up for an email notification when my exchange became able to receive it.

I see the word ‘weblog’ has made it onto BBC News’ list of ‘words of the year’, along with ‘blinking’ and ‘net babies’ among others. I suppose this means we’ve all arived. Or somthing.

ChrisR’s weirdness with KPMG continues, with an item about it appearing in this week’s Big Issue, including one of the photos we took outside their office last week. Madness.
Entirely unconnectedly, Nick now has his site up here, and has a description of me in it that I can’t decide whether to be flattered or […]
