Back at work

Gone through all my emails, there are a few too many "... and we'll leave that until Paul gets back" for my liking, but it could have been worse. If they'd managed to do everything without me I'd be expendable, don't want that.It's hard being back aw...

Can't believe I'm back in work tomorrow

I've been off with Harry for just about FOUR WEEKS now, this is amazing! I've not only forgotten what it is I do at work, I'm not entirely sure where it is any more. Luckily my neighbour works there, saw her today, they were having a very sophisticat...

Who says I'm unqualified?

Got another certificate to hang up in the bathroom along with my very difficult book award, I'm now officially a Holiday Extras Superhero! Just for being part of the team that made the new hotel upgrades setup (go to homepage search for a hotel and b...

Where'd my paternity leave go?

Man alive that quality time with Clare and Harry has gone fast, one more day of it really. I should spend less of the remainder on the computer! Harry is sleeping and Clare is getting ready for us to go down town though. As I already mentioned he's s...

Not sure twitter comedy club is really working

See #tcgig set up by @tweetcomedyclub. A nice idea, but maybe not fully thought through. It's a huge audience all heckling at once.OF COURSE I have more important things to be writing about, just back from the hospital, eating my chinese takeaway, tu...

Due day plus EIGHT

So have done a whole extra week at work now that I wasn't expecting, and looks like I might do another! Still no movement, and from what the midwife said yesterday seems like we might be waiting until next weekend, when Clare would have to be induced...

Kent libraries Amazon Firefox Greasemonkey mashup

I've made a firefox plugin, to look up if a book's available in the library when you're viewing its page on Amazon. Normally I'd be sending people TO Amazon rather than from Amazon, hoping to make a commission, but here's where I give something back....

Due day plus one

Still no sign of the baby yet, did not have the curried pineapple for tea that one friend suggested, stuck with our Sunday usual of chilli. We have decided that the baby will probably come on Saturday as that's the only day that anyone has any plans....

That's why blog -> twitter wasn't working

Dur changed my twitter email when the hosting company were messing about... Wondering about updating stuff from the maternity unit, keep people up to date. Can only do it from my phone which will be a strictly one way communication flow. I am not one...

Hmm, maybe not, but Someone in Fareham who has been to Mexico has been told to stay off work, just in case... A worker at a Fareham company who returned from holiday in Mexico has been told to stay at home as a precaution against swine flu.Managers a...

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6845 Get your firefox plugin here, it's a sidebar for firefox. Been getting a bit panicky without my 30 second updates on what people are thinking about doing! Actually I'm using it quite a bit for cheek...

I think I went for an interview at Sugar Media

See Today's Standard regarding a journalist being CS gassed in the house of commons. See Google's cache of the website (currently down) of the chap involved in the kerfuffle...Interesting the number of sites that haven't reported this, I wonder if th...

Twitter coming back to UK mobile phones

Blogging suffering as a direct result of twitter

I suspected this might happen, what a shame. Seems there's no need to write even so much as a paragraph these days, a short line with a smiley and some hashtags will more than do.So what's going on? Just about recovered from my trip to Exeter. For su...

Google street view van spotted in Hythe

Google maps "street view" is all live for the UK as of today, London has lots of coverage and other major towns do too. Friends were just down Hythe seafront, one said "wouldn't it be cool if we could get into Google street view" and SUDDENLY THE GOO...

Productive use of a half day so far

Have a half day today, off to The Cure later, I think I might have mentioned it. Dom and Jen are driving and they can't actually get away very early, so instead of cancelling the half day I'm taking most of it this morning and a bit of it this aftern...

A whole new server the size of one of those network adapters

This sounds good, a new computer that's the size of one of those plug socket network adapters I bought the other day. Great for the kind of home automation type stuff I like to daydream about....

Weaow! Weaow! Weaow! Ch-chik-chik-chik

At the car wash today... hmm actually tried to go to the car wash, FAIL, second time in a row. There's a hand car wash near work, and it was my turn to take a company car in, the one I get a lift in in. BUT, it's a combined car wash and lorry wash, a...

Off to buy a car

Buying that car we saw at the weekend. I'm not at all enthused by it, but at least it's convenient and not that expensive, and it's a job out of the way. I still have at least one more journey to do on public transport, as I'm paying the deposit toda...

Google maps... ENTERPRISE???

Trying to find out why our google maps haven't been working over https recently, and this is why google maps for enterprise. Man, I am out of touch! We have to pay if we want that feature, plus a few more features. Am in touch with google and will fi...

Thinking of starting on twitter again

Haven't used twitter.com in two years, and only really fiddled with it then, maybe it will be better now that everyone is using it? You may remember (what, you don't..?) I experimented with it for work but that didn't catch anyone's imagination eithe...

Munich

I was in Munich last week with work, and haven't written it up yet, so here we go... I opted for the early morning start on Monday, instead of letting the trip intrude into my Sunday afternoon so was off and away just after 6am. Thought I was going t...

Snowing here!

Lordy early start tomorrow

Off to Munich with work, and only just looked at my travel itinerary... been put on a 11am flight from Heathrow, which means getting the train from Folkestone before 6.30! This means getting up before I've even gone to bed! Barely time to watch Antiq...

Ooh dicky tum today

There I was earlier this week bragging about how I never ever get ill, and I am possibly super human and almost certainly immortal, and here I am today suffering with a bit of a stomach bug :-( Clare had it earlier this week, and now she's passed it ...

Bums

Stayed a few minutes late to fix something fairly urgent at work, and so I missed my lift and then I got the idea that fix might have broken something else, so investigating that I just missed another train and now I've hit the HOUR gap between train...
