A very plentiful and joyous evening at the wedding reception of @graysjjohnston last night. What a guy - deserves every happiness.
A steady run followed by a bath accompanied by #coffee and Wagner. A little indulgent perhaps.
Oh I love it when the holodeck goes wrong.

Ah, cup final day. Perfect excuse to stay out of the sun and avoid enforced merriment.

Did I just see Chicken Tikka Lasagne advertised on TV? That is wrong. Iceland #fail
It really must rain harder to clear this oppressive air. Weather #fail.
Huzzah. Mai internets iz bak. Didn’t think they’d be fixed over the bank holiday. What can I download?..
Hot hot hot day here. Saw the Le Corbusier exhibition at the Barbican then a documentary about Louise Bourgeois at the ICA.
Vanilla !ubuntu #jaunty working on eee 901. Installed NBR, then invoked desktop-switcher. Graphics and wifi working well.
Gah! interwebs #fail. Foiled again. This puny handset is most unsuitable for world domination.
I’m sure someone’s had some of my Quorn “chicken” from out of the fridge at work. $%&**8ing £$@^s
Yum - cheap coffee with free morning croissant at Mantovani’s, Thurloe Street.
Walked the length of Brompton Road, London at lunchtime. Soulless, shallow, sterile.
Back in the saddle. I wonder what new challenges await this week.
It’s 4:15am according to my body clock. Have to wind it on a bit.
Back from a visit to the USS Intrepid Museum, NYC. I can catch MLB (and NFL) highlights free on the internet. Why not UK Premier League?
Great game yesterday - Yankees vs Twins. Walk-off home run from A-Rod in the 11th got the new Yankee Stadium to its feet. I grok baseball.
Heading out to NYC.
A swift gin before boarding flight ba 189 to newark - hopefully settles nerves.
Out in Ridgewood NJ last night. Red carpet, crowd, restaurant, boom camera. The guest of honor (sic.) was Gordon bleeding Ramsay.
Finishing preparations for my trip to New Jersey to see my dad. Any must-sees in NYC for geeks?
Cursed Platanus Plane Trees in London - leaf hair getting right up my nose.
Out in Alexandra park with tiny tiny ducklings and cygnets. Great views over to St Paul’s and London Eye.
with wine
spotify (for windows) works a treat on !ubuntu
Oh dear. Just discovered Star Trek TNG free on demand with Virgin Media. That’s my evening mapped out then.
Want to hear Leeds v Millwall. Currently Formula 1 on Radio 5 Live and Sports Extra. So boring.
Great LSO concert last night at the Barbican. Never heard such sweet and charismatic violin playing as Nikolai Znaider in Schoenberg.
Yesterday was a good #tea day. Recommencing #tea odyssey.
LOL Chelsea. You could have worked a bit harder, Anelka. Feel bad for Essien though - he’s a classy professional.
Test-driven development really wrings out your code.
Upping the #tea rate today. Yesterday was a bit dry.
Man Utd counter-attack as effective as it has ever been for the last 10 years. Wonder why the opposition turns up.
is finding it hard not to lace his code tests with profanities.
The size of IBM makes Microsoft and Google look... →
Interesting comparison of major tech firms staffing levels.
The money made by big tech companies like MS,... →
Profit, revenue of major tech firms.
Maintenance Monday, Rhythmyx #fail
Tea, Earl Grey, Hot.
What’s this in my glass? Pastis de Marseille? Left-field! Ricard, though. Who’s going to turn down a drink with their name on it?
Enjoyed Mark Wallinger and Annette Messager at the wayward Hayward. Now atop the Oxo Tower with a drink with clear views.
bang on time, first swift of the summer seen over Finsbury park. They always turn up May Bank Holiday.
Done the hoovering - I love a hoovered carpet. Bathroom clean. Time to pay some bills, Bill.
Yeehaw. I’m making refry and listening to the funk show. Make my funk the P-Funk - I want the bomb.
