“Everything right is wrong again” said They Might Be Giants. Not so, here.
For some reason, I always seem to return to the things I think I can replace. Blogger. Instant noodles. Red wine.

I have been using this for a few days now, as a tool, more than a proper word processor… I don’t do much worse processing anyway, as I prefer to write anything I do in a text editor…
However, it’s very very good… it handles RTF files properly, it exports directly to a PDF file, which is handy, plus it’s got it’s own XML based file format.

Mac OS X binaries coming soon.

I’m back. Haven’t posted to this for such a long time!
I am fine, pay and grading might just well have surprised me beyond my wildest expectations, work is better, generally I feel a lot happier at the moment, which is also nice. Sunday was spent in London with the gang.

gotta love bash scripts…

The Tandem Drinking Club. My email to them.
Dave,
I found your drinking club on the web… I can tell you guys are in England, but where?
Do you have any way of joining?
I like drinking, on a good night I can drink 9 pints of Guinness.
My friends Nick and Mark also like drinking…
Me: Guinness, Nick: Lager, Mark: Lager, sometimes Cider…
Anyway, Nick is still in Australia until June, but I hope maybe we can join the drinking club.
Is there a badge or membership card or anything?

not dead… I really am not dead, despite what you may think. In fact, I’m very much here. Still working on my play, still working on my stuff… just forgetting to update here very often.
Just been handed a copy of IT Week by my boss.
I guess that’s an excuse to read it for a bit.

The Fear. Well, today I feel a whole lot more relaxed about things here, and it looks like we will be getting around 2 grand from all of this, which will nicely pay off my credit card.
Today will be quickly finishing off this Org Tracker work for Davie, followed by much work on NHSIAcal – my wonderful calendar thing that will revolutionise the way we work with calendars or something. Discussions with Howard about the favelet are still going on, looking to expand on it. Apparently I’ll maybe even get to write something in Computing or Computer Weekly about it… so, maybe I could be famous again.
I’ve been listening to ‘This is Hardcore’ at work for the past week, because Catatonia was bugging Rob.

That’s how my favelet for querying our internal library was described today. Amazingly this comment actually seemed to make my day feel a bit better, especially considering how crap it’d felt since this morning.
However, time will tell.

It gets better. It looks like it might be far far less than 2 grand now. It might be as low as 600 quid.

As of about 4pm yesterday, tornado went live internally. Anyone with a connection to NHSnet should have no problems accessing it – the next step is the World Wide Web implementation. That’ll be a lot of fun, hopefully our poor server can take it.
The more I use Safari the more I find other browsers, even Moz, annoying…
