Who's that Girl?

Because I'm a sad geek, this pleases me immensely:

Roll on series 3!

January 4, 2007

So, I'm not long back from Devon, where we were staying as guests of Rev Stan and Mosh, and am now busy working through my photos. The really juicy ones are still to come, but here's some from a walk from Malborough to Salcombe:

Storm over Salcombe

First Annual Salcombe Gurning Competition

Setting out for Moonrakers

You'll find more in my growing New Year 2007 collection.

From the iPod #1

Songs of Distant Earth

Mike Oldfield

Today's stress-reduction listening is Mike Oldfield's Songs of Distant Earth. This is one of my earliest CDs, bought back in the early 90s, when I was doing stupid amounts of both reading and writing and so was on a real instrumental music kick. (There are vocals on this album, but they're not generally comprehensible, and thus don't interfere with my thought processes).

I recommend it highly if you ever have to spend a few hours correcting other people's Movable Type template errors.

Back at the Coal Face

Ruined Coffee Cup

After an entertaining 20 minutes prising my wife out of bed with a crowbar this morning (she wanted to be up at a reasonable hour this morning, and knew she wouldn't manage it alone), I am now back in the office.

I note that IS have (briefly) broken Movable Type while I was away, and that Windows Live Messenger is no longer working.

And I've had my quota of coffee for this morning.

I suspect that this is going to be a long, hard day.
