the 17:30 train from london got into ipswich at 21:35 last night. we’ll say no more about it. on the positive side i am involved in an interesting new project, the weather is great and it looks like it will remain good for the weekend.

fire
a bit of a fire alarm this morning in the office. it meant we could go outside and enjoy the weather for 20 minutes so not an entire waste of time! after a week of rain and cooler temperatures we are back to extreme (for this country) heat and revelling in it. if only i …
thrills
i used the vouchers i got from the guys at work for my birthday last week to get a couple of new albums yesterday. the thrills and the kings of leon. both are quite retro in their own way, the former sounding quite a lot like the beach boys in their hey-day and the latter …

smallworld
we were chatting about the famous six degrees of separation theory and whether, for example i could be linked to jfk. a quick google returned the smallworld project being run at columbia university in the us. if nothing else it is an interesting read about the origins of the saying but i am not sure that …
wasted
i had planned to install windows 2003 server because i need to play around with active directory and ldap authentication between websphere and windows. unfortunately, the license key which i have does not seem to work so i am going to have to contact microsoft to get a corrected version. oh well, go and enjoy …
gows
met simon in the city for lunch today. by complete coincidence he is going to a wine tasting (!) at gows this evening so we met up for a quick lunch as i had to run off to do an interview for someone we are looking to take on. it was a most welcome break …
