Bonny Scotland

Well, here I am in the not-so-frozen North, British Airways having managed to deliver me here on schedule yesterday. The family are all well, and Andy’s new dog is quite the daftest animal I’ve ever come across. She’s come from the pound, and having been rescued by him, she just never wants to […]

Pre-Departure Linkage

December 22, 2002 | Comments Off

Right, I’m sorted and ready to go - I’ll be posting over the next few days, so just to keep my hand in, a couple of links from my Favourites folder that I’ve been meaning to post for a while:
In Passing… is a log of overheard comments from the author’s everyday life.

The Break Starts Here

December 21, 2002 | Comments Off

Well, this is the first day of my seasonal break - though I daresay I’ll be doing some work on and off.
The company festive do was last night - we went bowling and then for food and drink, and everyone seems to have had a good time. There was a bit of a consensus […]

Well, Dave has finished working his magic, and my machine is now itself again, only hopefully better. Unfortunately, something’s gone awry with the import of my old ICQ data into Trillian, which Dave decided to try me on, so if you were on my contact list, please send me a message, and I’ll add […]

Mac Unlimited

As my own machine is currently undergoing a pre-Christmas rebuild, I’m temporarily working on the office Mac, getting used to OS X, and remembering the good times - it’s been an age since I did any solid body of work on one of these things. There’s a lot to be said for them, though […]

Soundtrack - Once More, With Feeling cast album
I’ve been doing holiday greetings cards this evening, and have just about managed to get them all done. The number that I send seems to go down each year, which seems rather odd to me….
I note that the Golden Globe nominations are out - not many surprises, […]

Traffic Light Watch

They’re still dead. Unreal.

Mad

December 19, 2002 | 4 Comments

The traffic lights outside the tube station near work have been out of action since some time on Monday afternoon. It’s a major, busy, four-way junction, with two pedestrian crossing periods built into its phasing, and it’s been out of action for days. How can it not have been fixed yet?
The chaos that […]

Lord Alive….

….but that was amazing. The Two Towers, that is.
My local cinema was a complete scrum - they’d sold out of all four later screenings by the time we went to settle down for the 7pm, and I’ve never seen the largest of their screens full before. Three hours later, we emerged exhausted into […]

Today’s The Day

Well, if I’d been counting down, we’d just have hit zero - today’s The Two Towers day. 7pm screening, here we come.
