Ramblings about cats, games and miscellanea.
"Oh, end of the month? Sure, that'll be no problem."
Why did I say that?
Never mind, all done now. Well, done enough for this stage - I'll have a meeting or two before it's all finalised, which gives me time to do lots of testing. And what's more, I'm actually a week ahead of the schedule I said I'd be working to, and on time for the schedule they thought I said. Result.
Anyway, I'm tired, and since it's my birthday tomorrow (OK Peter, today), I must get my beauty sleep so ...
Why do spammers try so hard to avoid anti-spam measures in order to contact the people who are least likely to buy anything from them?
Yes, I know that large ISPs and webmail services have lots of anti-spam measures, and that they're the target audience, but really can't they realise that sending me 6000 spams a day isn't going to change my mind?

Why does hardly anyone comment any more? Maybe it's just because nobody reads this. Oh well, I won't let a little thing like that stop me!

Only I got stuck in the biggest traffic jam on earth, which started at the end of my road. At one point, I didn't even move for 10 minutes, which sucked. Took me all ...
I came back to Sevenoaks on Sunday for a meeting today - on the way to the meeting at about 11.15, I drove past a pub that was on fire. The meeting went well, and the person from the publisher took us out for lunch which was very pleasant, I met with some other people, and then left at about 5.20. On the way back I drove past the same pub - still lots of fire engines and they were still pumping water into the building. There's a BBC news article about it here. Anyway, I'd left radio ...
I have just been on holiday to Geneva. The first thing that most people have said when I tell them is 'Why?', so I will explain.
A couple of weeks ago, I persuaded Leela that a short holiday was in order. The only question was where to go - and she left that up to me to surprise her. I started with a long list, but since we only had 4 days including travel I had to take off places such as Peru and Australia because we'd only be able to get off the plane, walk outside and smile at ...
