I just got back to the hotel room after seeing Mystere, it was absolutely superb with unbelievable acrobatics and really funny clown filler content while the stage was reset. They really know how to put on a show. In comparison to Ka which I saw last year this was so much better as it relied …

Vegas Baby
So, the work elements of my trip are done with and I managed to find a cheap flight from Boston down to Vegas yesterday so here I am. Today I’m off to see a Cirque du Soleil show, Mystere. But the real reason I flew all the way down is that I want to see …
Redsox
I went to see the Boston Redsox play the Cleveland Indians in the second game of the series at Fenway Park last night. It’s the first time I’ve been to a game there and was a great experience. The stadium is old so only holds 35,000 but it still manages to generate quite an atmosphere. …
And relax
The journey over to Boston was a little delayed due to an air traffic computer crash but otherwise uneventful. I slept for a long time last night due to the lack of sleep over the last few days plus quite a hectic schedule over the last few months. I really needed this break. So for …
Streetcar (Part 2)
So after my post earlier in the week I got a lot of feedback via e-mail. One of the links I was pointed to was WeBuyAnyCar.com, to be honest I was highly sceptical but their online quote tool offered me a reasonable price for my car so I booked an appointment to go and see …
Renewed Contract
It’s coming up to a year since I started my current contract. Well I moved onto a new project a few weeks ago and given that the work is pretty interesting (Domino / Oracle / JBoss / Web Services), the environment is relaxed and the team is a good laugh I’ve signed on for the …
StreetCar
Ever since moving down to London I’ve been using my car less and less to the point, now, where I’ve decided to sell it and use a service called StreetCar for the few times when I do need to drive somewhere. It’s a great idea where they leave cars all around the city, you book …
ADSL Migration
After all of my broadband hassles in March I decided to leave BT as their customer service was so appalling. I was tied into a contract though so couldn’t, at least until now. So today I’m starting the process of migrating to a new broadband supplier. So far the leading contender is IDNet who seem …
Weekend Away
I’ve been up in Nottingham for the weekend catching up with my brother and his family. As usual we had a great time just doing odd jobs in the garden and not very much else. Of course it was the London Marathon today which runs right past my flat so the drive home took almost …
Champagne and Curry
It’s not a very promising combination but for almost 7 years now it has been the traditional fare for gatherings of the past and present team members of an old client’s development team. Last night Steve and Hekmat organised a variation on the theme with a room booked in a pub in Docklands, 25 bottles …
