I don’t know if anyone else has noticed this recently but I am starting get what seems to be known as “referrer spam”. I won’t publicise them by providing a link but “devaddict” and “webdevboard” both seem to be offenders. The sort of people who send spam have now progressed to writing web crawlers which …

Irrational Fear… or is it?
Via Phil I got sent this link to paraskevidekatriaphobia or an irrational fear of Friday 13th.
You know you’ve lucked out when…
You go into your hotel room and find yourself with two directions to turn, towards the bedroom or the living room! After a bit of a falling out last week I think they are trying to make it up to me this week and so I ended up in a “suite”. Very nice too.
Early start not deliberate
I am working at home again today so didn’t have any worries about getting up this morning, but it was a very hot and sticky night and by 04:00 I couldn’t sleep any more. I decided to get up and start doing some work. It really is a great time of the day, no noise …
Happy Birthday Ed and other comments
It was Ed’s birthday yesterday, hope you had a good one Ed. And there is also mention of a story on CNET about the ND7 Beta. In it it mentions that Microsoft are trying to poach “…Notes developers alienated by Lotus’ increasing centralization on the Java 2 Enterprise Edition language”. This sort of thing annoys …
Long Renewal

Quiet night in… or not
I ended up in the office until 7ish last night and was chatting to the only other person left, a swift half seemed like the sensible thing to do. A few hours and beers later a pizza and bottle of wine seemed an equally good thing. It’s amazing how little it takes to give me …
Great last few days
Friday and the weekend have been so relaxing, a great way to round off the holiday. The weather in the UK is finally good so everyone has been making the most of it with barbeques aplenty. Last night there was a huge firework display in one of the parks so I was just sat in …
Not bad going
Well I managed to get back home by 9:30pm which isn’t bad going. The journey was as easy as it was uneventful, this is the way travelling is meant to work. I can get to bed now, try and get to sleep and hopefully kill the jetlag and be back to normal tomorrow.
