Why do I do this to myself ? Tuesday night I decided that rather than have the usual pre-holiday rush I’d just take my work ThinkPad with me (I always carry the MacBook Air for e-mail, blogging etc.). Of course it’s 2AM and I’ve just been catching up on work (due to being woken up […]
Sitting in the Virgin Lounge at Heathrow waiting to board the flight to San Francisco. I woke up early this morning (car booked at 7:30 to take me to LHR). What a really nice morning – although I was a little unhappy to have to head off (though San Jose I’m sure will be nice […]
The European Elections are coming up and so I have the usual batch of political leaflets through the door. However, this time they come with a (worrying) twist – the BNP (British National Party) have started leafleting. Of course I’m sure I could have prevented receiving a leaflet by putting a sign up ‘Scottish Lives […]
Woke up at 5AM this morning and ended up on a call with a US colleague for over an hour – good start to the day to get things cleared up. Spent the whole morning in PowerPoint and Outlook. I’m thinking of starting to write presentations on the Mac just for novelty value. London Abound […]

Dinner at Vietnamese restaurant in Cambridge. I like the food in this place, although the noodles/soup isn’t quite as appealing since I started to make it at home myself (of course my own home recipe has the magic ingredient of blood from cut fingers trying to chop beef into fine slices). The only trouble is […]
Every morning on my way to work I pass this scene. I’ve tried to capture it with the iPhone – but the quality isn’t that good. Anyways, this pic is courtesy of my pocket Leica – this won’t win any photography competitions, but if you click on the pic you can see the large number […]
Continuing with the theme of Easter weekend being the worst holiday weekend, today was as uneventful as the whole of the weekend thus far. This post comes courtesy of MarsEdit (finally managed to sort out an offline blog tool). I just created my to-do / project list and as usual there is far too much […]
First day back at work today. Of course it was nowhere near as bad as I was thinking it would be, apart from computer problems. However, this turned out to be a blessing as I wasn’t distracted and just got the opportunity to wander round and chat with people.
