aftermath

Well, that was a fun (if painful day). Can't beat running about in the woods getting shot at. Only had one scary moment getting shot in the neck and not being able to breathe but was okay after a wee while. Night out was quite good as well - excellent meal (with Mr Blue, Mr Orange, Mr White, Mr Black, Mr Pink, Mr…

post from word

The Blogger team at Google have come up with a fancy new plugin to upload blog entries from Microsoft Word. Kind of wondering what they're going to do next. You can get it from http://buzz.blogger.com/bloggerforword.html. This post has been uploaded from it, so you can judge for yourself how well it works.

and for the main course

Since everyone will be starving after running about in the woods with a paintball gun, we're going to go for something to eat afterwards with anyone who fancies it. I quite like the look of the new Indian restaurant in Titchfield Street and they're doing a 5-course buffet thing with any 5 drink from the bar for about…

fashion victim

I really was planning on getting an iRiver or some other MP3 player to take with me on holiday but… iPod was on sale. Don't think I'll use the white headphones though. I was basically swayed by the whole iTunes synch thing it can do – I use it for all my music so makes sense. Can probably start converting to AAC now…

look out, here comes the cameraman

Was standing in Central Station this morning waiting on my train* when two police officers strolled over to a guy standing next to me with his video camera. No beating around the bush, they proceeded to question the guy about why he was filming, where he was from, what he did for a living, where he was staying and…

the final countdown

Well, only 4 weeks now (yesterday) till the wedding. Can't believe how quickly it's flown in. Still haven't got any nerves or second thoughts, which I'll take to be a good thing. We went to see the registrar on Thursday to fill out the forms for the marriage certificate. Christ, they're pedantic. Apparently…

all work and no play

It seemed like such a good idea at the time - make a CMS system for a general band site then it could be used over many sites, possible allowing them all to integrate and talk to each other at some point. Unfortunately, it's a much, much larger project than I had initially thought. And the hours just disappear while…

just another manky friday

No matter how long you work in a roasting hot office, it never seems to get any better. Sun's beating in through the open window but there's not even a trace of breeze. The water in the dispenser's even warm. Luckily, I've got a weekend of hiding from the sun all lined up. For I'm going on holiday to the paradise that…
