Month: July 2002

In the last week

I have been made redundant, and will shortly collar a large cheque (although not as large as first thought, dammit) as a result. I have then scored two weeks holiday, followed by a new job that pays better.

It’s good to be me.

Right Then.

That’s a morning’s work done, then. When I’m done writing this, and blogger publishes that, I’ll run a script, and this will publish to my livejournal in an enitrely automatic manner.

Morning Routine.

I’m not in the office today. I’ll be in for my last two days tomorrow and Friday, but I’ve got a job interview this afternoon, so I’m staying at home. I’m got nothing dreadfully pressing to do in the office anyway. So far today, I have got up, done a bit of work, done my yoga (I’m going to try and do at least half an hour every day, while I’m unemployed) had a shower and some breakfast (museli with fruit – someone please shoot me) and am sitting down to work. Today’s jobs – the first stage of a PHP script that will convert a blog entry to a LiveJournal post, and some notes toward The Thing With Sean.

Geek Achievment.

If you look to the bottom of my menu bar over there, you’ll find a new “Now Playing” section. This is dynamically updated whenever I click a shortcut on my desktop, with whatever information on which MP3 my copy of Musicmatch Jukebox is playing right now (or the last one it played, if it isn’t running now). No need for me to type or FTP anything. I’ve been meaning to sort something like that out for while. I like the “Now Playing” option on livejournal, but I’m not on LJ, and I’m too lazy to type it by hand, anyway. So I’ve sorted it out for myself, in PHP.

New Pictures.

Photos from last week are now available – WEFUK on Saturday, Fiona’s birthday on Thursday, and Huw and Michelle’s do on Friday, along with some shots of London sights (rather more shots of them than people, actually). Here’s the one I like best, just to be going on with:
