It’s very easy to get addicted to exercise. You can become so fit that you push yourself to ever-greater extremes, one of which is death. People who are always out exercising generally carry a subliminal message on their sweatshirt: ‘rubbish relationship’.

And so it was with some trepidation that I returned to the gym for the first time since Christmas, ready to revive any unhappy singletons who succumbed to heart attacks. Unfortunately nobody did, or else the pool would have been far less unpleasant. There was a kids’ class going on in the kids’ pool - where it should be - but that didn’t stop a dozen fat mothers wading to the half-way point of the regular pool and standing in a line across its whole width, holding sub-two year olds and blocking all the swimmers.

So, I stopped after a kilometre and came to work, arriving bang on noon. Today is Jobs’ keynote at Macworld San Francisco, so we’re all still here at work, watching it scroll up our screens as Chris of the Phin sits in the in the audience transcribing it all by GPRS. Bizarrely it all seems to be working quite well.

He’s been going an hour and three quarters now. Chris’s fingers must be close to dropping off.

Still, the Mac mini is good news. Assuming the get the UK prices right… Only time will tell, but I worry that they’re going to hike it up this side of the Atlantic.

Later: It’s quarter to eleven, and we’re on the verge of leaving.
