It's been a busy week and a bit - I'm still catching up on work from my last stay in Kent, but I'm nearly on top of everything now.
But you can't work all the time, so I took last weekend off. I headed up to Bath to meet up with lots of friends from Uni, most of whom I hadn't seen for at least 10 months - there were a few faces missing, and a few new ones, but it was great to get together again. We had a meal at Feast, then went off to ...
In case any of you are running it, I've just noticed a couple of small issues with my smess code for PG+, so here's a little bugfix: smess-1.3.tar.gz. The only changes are to smess.c.
A couple of weeks ago, I rang up Orange and told them I was off to T-Mobile.

Not content with beating kittens, today I turned on Leela. I kicked her round the head, and although I didn't feel a thing, it hurt her so much she cried. Three hours later, she is still concussed and has a headache.
To be fair it was a complete accident. Well, more like complete incompetence on my part. She was sitting on the sofa, and I was trying to climb over the back to sit next to her.
