Erm what?

Tuesday, May 31st, 2005

You have ever have an one of those aborted days? You know you rush to get ready and then everything is blasted away by a phone call, so you go into a holding pattern waiting for a call to land… And waiting… And waiting.. Ding! Days gone.. ARGH! So tomorrow I’m … ?? Wonder where [...]

Those Monday Blues

Monday, May 30th, 2005

Do you remember when you were a kid and you sat down in front of the telly on a Sunday and ended up watching Open all Hours or Last of the Summer Wine? Remember that feeling that the whole world was coming to an end? Well I have started to get that feeling of late, [...]

Bluff ? Me?

Sunday, May 29th, 2005

Another day of rushing around, why is it we always have moments where we decide to try and do everything all at once? You know I remember when I was a kid I used to always complain that I was bored. These days I complain I don’t have enough time in the day, and yet [...]

Sing along with me

Saturday, May 28th, 2005

Today started a little strange. Took my car in for a service and ended up buying another one, went to Brighton and bought some cards before heading home. This evening went round the brother-in-laws for a go at Singstar Popworld, a great ice breaker for the Ps2. It’s one of those games that make you [...]

That Friday feeling?

Friday, May 27th, 2005

Thank Crunchie it’s Friday…. That was an advert from way back in the late 80′s early 90′s. It never really meant anything then, I was younger and thought I was going to live forever and looked forward to earning money etc. Sadly I feel the tide of time laping at my feet slowly rising higher, [...]

The IT Rally Chamionship

Thursday, May 26th, 2005

I used to be sane you know, no really I did. I had a 9-5 job and worked in an office for 9 years, I went out in the evenings and even sometimes down the pub at weekends. Life was good, not exciting but a wholesome kind of good. Then I decided I just couldn’t [...]

Doc-u-Men-ta-Tion

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

Yes the day has sadly arrived where I have to stay as sane as possible and refrain from drooling like an ape whilst someone injects unbridled enthusiasm into writing and re-writing documentation. I would now try and add something funny about documentation; sadly my brains have started to ooze out of my ears. ….Arghhh!

Re-record not fade away.

Tuesday, May 24th, 2005

Today I have been spending my time in the lovely server room with racks of very noisey computer systems. How is it that servers produce that much noise? So I again was asked to test the UPS, even though I have tried many times to convince everyone that we should solve the imediate problem with [...]

The slow slog back.

Monday, May 23rd, 2005

Well after a nice week off from the drudgery of work I find myself again entering into the work mode and loading up the car with enough supplies to sink a light cruiser. I always feel pretty damn depressed first thing Monday mornings, I feel this is a throw back to the 80′s when every [...]

Hello? Echo..

Sunday, May 22nd, 2005

Bit of a gapping hole in the blog eh? Well went off to Bonnie Scotland and ended up staying in the middle of nowhere (only my pants work phone managed to get a signal) 6 miles from the nearest town, that’s one of the ones you read about, you know, the one with a corner [...]
