Last few weeks!
I've been for a couple of short rides on my bike, I need to get some training in how to use 18 gears properly.
Our offices are in the process of being repainted (at least the halls, stairs and toilets), so there is the smell of fresh paint in the air.
The weather has turned and we are no longer even able to pretend it's still summer, I saw my first conker earlier this week. I re-potted some plants over last weekend, hopefully they will stay alive.
The laptop encryption project is still ongoing, but has reduce considerably, and should finished in by October.
Last we I was on an "Embracing Equality and Diversity" training course, mandatory for all staff. didn't really learn anything startling, but I did get to see colleagues away from work (and it was on one of the last sunny days, and had a walkabout during lunch.)
I ordered a EZReader Pocket Pro earlier this month and it arrived on Tuesday. It cost $199 (£150+VAT) as a promo launce price during September. It's an ebook reader with eink and uses a kinux kernel, it supports most open formats (and some closed ones). It can be charged via USB cable to a PC and came with a free 1GB SD card with 300 books reinstalled. So far I've read one and a bit books on it, it's about the size and weight of a paperback.
Last Sunday I went to see "Aliens in the Attic" at my local cinema, and on Monday I went to the Science Museum for a talk by Sir Tim Berners-Lee on The Web Revealed a reminiscence on 20 years of the Web. This cost me £5 but was well worth it.
This weekend we're celebrating my neice's 18th birthday! It seems hardly any time ago she was a baby, now she's as tall as I am (nearly!). Report after the fact.
