Mike's musings

Family

Polly and Lee are turning up tonight for a very brief visit: they're just staying overnight. We'd expected them around 1700/1800, but it's going to be more like 0000. Moo's gone to bed - did around 2100, actually - so I'm staying up. They're leaving at something like 0515 on their way to Stansted, so we're not going to see much of them, to be honest. I don't think Moo's going to see them at all.

Today? Well, to round off yesterday, the Old Testament Seminar was excellent, and very interesting. Got home around 2240, but didn't get to bed before 2350: computer bits and pieces, including panicking when I rebooted my debian unstable box into a 2.6.14 kernel, only to discover that the raid array had disappeared. Luckily, rebooting into a 2.6.12 fixed it, but it was a real pain.

Had a meeting with some staff from a customer in London today, as they've got another project they want us to look at, and then had lunch with some other people. We ate at the Globe Theatre, which has a restaurant. Food was OK, view was excellent, over the Thames towards St Paul's cathedral.

Just printed off lots of reading for this week, and lots more for the coming weekend in London Colney, as part of the ERMC course. Not quite sure when I'm going to find the time, but needs must.
