August 2008
dose of london travel knocking edge off lovely holiday, but a week of solid sunshine and fun things was had, feeling much improved by it
went cycling yesterday pulling the oo in a bike trailer, ache today. Off to the mountains later
writing a conference proposal whilst on holiday, not ideal, but due date for toc09 is today
moving to a firewire based card reader meant I left the small usb to big usb cable at home, so the move pics to the iPod was bereft a cable
first day of holiday, trip to epping and barbeque, now packing and off to France tomorrow, have a good weekend
in Annecy, have settled in and bought food for most of the week. They have free wifi, so not completely adrift. Lovely and sunny here

I found http://tinyurl.com/6y5kqs mobileme status xml feed from apple.com, unofficial, but useful
my cat just did the matrix glitch thing appearing two places without passing me, odd
sandwich lunch, more document prep, then a long planning meeting
lovely morning playing with Oscar, now in work and ready for another long meetign
working with a very frustrating multi level list document in word, not of my own making
wrote nearly 4000 words, tired now.
remembering yesterday’s barbeque, my new Weber and salt lick rub on some steak, yum and v pleased with new bbq
successful day so far, lots more stuff back in kitchen, made Oscar’s new bed and wrote 2000+ words and it is only 10pm
odd the macosx spelling underlining helper does not have the word curation, yet the dashboard widget dictionary does have a definition

500 words in about 20 minutes, going well today
the polish dj next door has started up again, thumping euro house, frustrating and noisy

at home looking after wife and son who have got colds, optimistically hoping for a barbeque later
do companies who put multiple punctuation marks or ads at top of emails look at them on an iPhone or gmail etc. preview is noise not signal
sadly having a poor customer experience with pedlars, just got the same damaged anglepoise back in the post from them after returning it

Five minutes of email triage and ten minutes in the garden helped
Victoria line delays, so getting a train to Liverpool St in the sunshine instead
appropriately wearing my gapingvoid “mistakenly” t-shirt today
long meeting over, writing some notes, then heading home for the little boy and some solo parenting
want to play with my new barbeque, but work is keeping me at my desk. 24 minutes computer time per day, feeling like an outlier…
