If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Friday is such a good night for doing things. Everybody is somewhere else. Met Paul at the gym straight after work. It was pretty quiet when we arrived, but when we left at just after nine it was deserted. […]

Up, showered, shaved, dressed and loaded washing into the machine before the breakfast show call, which I consider pretty impressive. The call went OK. We’d originally planned to talk about PocketPC, but details about that are pretty sketchy at the moment, so I was glad we spent more time on gadgets and miniaturisation instead.
In light […]

What an exciting day. I put my swimming kit in the car so I could pop into the pool on the way home from work and hurried into the office to put out some feelers for tomorrow’s show. Three direct hits with the first batch, which was a relief, although the Science Museum, which was […]

Of course it didn’t happen, did it - I didn’t make it to the gym like I’d planned. It wasn’t entirely my fault, though, because the alarm didn’t go off, so I feel at least partly vindicated. I went after work to make up for it, which is far more civilised. It wakes you up […]

Weatherwise, a fantastic day that meant I could start it off with breakfast on the patio with mum and Andrew, munching on croissants and watching the horses and foal playing in the field at the bottom of the garden. I thought I was going to have to cancel last night, and ended up sleeping under […]

To B&Q first thing to help Paul choose paint, which necessitated an early start - a good thing as it meant I could get the washing machine started on its first load. What a glamorous life I lead. A grey morning and then torrential downpours in the afternoon, which drove a large spider in through […]

Being all grown up and responsible I set the alarm for seven yesterday morning and set off just after eight. It was the rush hour, and school holidays, so I thought it would take ages to get to the airport. It took 32 minutes. My flight would not be taking off for another three and […]

A rather fun show this evening, I think, and in a horribly geeky way I got all excited about interviewing Professor Kevin Warwick, the guy who has a habit of filling himself with microchips. He was on to plug a new magazine that is cover-mounting bits of a robot. After 16 issues you’ll have an […]

It’s truly incredible how inconsiderate some people can be. I met Midnight Weatherman Chris on the train home and all was going well until just before Romford Dog Statium when we slowed to a crawl and then stopped altogether. We heard the driver’s cabin door open, which is always a bad sign, and then he […]

I didn’t think I was going to make the interview on time. It would have been typical - I’m in the office well before everyone else most days, and then on the day when I need to make a good impression I get stuck on a train for two hours with the driver saying nothing […]
