  1. @dr_shelley: Pumpkin Latte??!!
  2. Teleconference with smart professionals who don't witter or play games. Useful work done. Strange and unsettling, but in a good way.
  3. Waiting for teleconference to begin. Tried doing this sort of thing in Skype and Acrobat Connect in past, various failures so back to POTS.
  4. St Andrews is beautiful; cold grey morning, steel-blued sea, links lush and windy. Almost wish I played golf.
  5. Clear, cold morning. Banner opposite station: think positive. Some kind of campaign for Reading. Town lives on software, financial services.
  6. All the urgent stuff done, I think. Off to Scotland in the morning at a reasonably civilised hour. I hate airports: roll on proper trains.
  7. Oops. Of course the language code for Danish is da and not dk. How could I have been so stupid, and then not seen my error earlier?
  8. Small book launch at our place this afternoon, for author neighbour. Lots of acquaintances and friends of friends. It's a small class.
  9. Good to see some rebuttal starting: @LiamByrneMP on Tory tax promises - http://tinyurl.com/ybpakxp. Guess who benefits from Tory tax plans?
  10. RT @kgillieson: go Reading type designers! http://www.designweek.co.uk/open-brief/3007151.article
  11. Welcome news: FarmVille has been hidden from your News Feed. Emboldened, I also now have: Quiz Planet! has been hidden from your News Feed.
  12. All I want is a JavaScript console for IE8. I get an hour of installation hell. Screens are prettier than last time: process still rubbish.
  13. @HammerToe hi Matt. Unlikely this year, but will if I can.
  14. The more I know about Plone, the more I both hate and depend on it. Had a girlfriend like that many many years ago. Took ages to dump her...
  15. Slightly surprised that kids aren't home for Thanksgiving, given that much else in the UK has gone Yank (eg All Hallow's Eve, Father's Day).
  16. Emboldened by Small Success, now to optimistically set about destroying site by adding vaguely-understood code to http-request construction.
  17. Egg-production declining as days shorten. Longer nights seem to mean proliferation of pythonic egg on face. Python eggs failed to hatch yet.
  18. Small success. Recovered from deleting wrong egg by reading docs then Doing The Right Things In The Correct Order. Must try that more often.
  19. Started with such high hopes. Everything I am working on has stalled or gone backwards today. Every. Single. Thing. Need a small success now
  20. Is today going to be productive? 2 quotes which need research, add calmness to fraying relationship, move core projects forwards. Juggling.
