Catch Up With Me

Hello everyone! It has been a while. My silence hasn't had anything to do with not having anything to say - in fact the opposite, I've been pretty busy. Here's a quick summary:

  • It was Leela's birthday on 27th January, and on the 1st February we'd been going out for 3 years!
  • I went back to Kent at the end of January for meetings and to dig things out of storage. I had the meetings, but literally couldn't find anything I was after in the boxes. Erk - did I throw too much away when I moved?
  • My car ist kaput. It's got new tyres and a new battery, which did improve it a bit, but it's still stalling whenever I take my foot off the accelerator, and the engine warning light lit up on the way back from Kent. I'm waiting for someone to get back to me on where to find a good garage in Cheltenham...
  • My framework is nearly ready for use. Yes, that framework I've been talking about for years. It's in Perl, the core is done, and I'm just finishing off some of the modules. Work permitting, a release should be imminent.
  • My nose is still dripping, 4 weeks after the operation. It's a bit better, but... will it ever stop?
  • Leela is being pursued for council tax that she doesn't owe - from 2004. Leela lived somewhere for 3 months in the summer of 2004, and sent in her proof of student status while she was there. Now, after total silence for the past two and a half years, they have sent her 3 letters within 5 days; "Please send us proof of student status", "Please pay outstanding council tax" and now "A liability order has been made against you". Interestingly, the court order was dated the day before the first letter was sent...
  • And now for the miscellanea: I've been to the cinema to see The Last King of Scotland (8/10), Babel (4/10) and Notes on a Scandal (7/10); I've been out for several meals to celebrate several things; I've installed a Jabber client for Google Talk (are you on that?); and I have, at last, moved all of my sites to my new server.

Well, that'll do for now.
