Just a quick “what’s been happening”.

First, everything appears safe with the IBM job. I’ve been speaking to Moe rather extensively over the past few weeks or so, and I’ll be going back to work with Solution Test in early November. So that’s all good.

I finished my 2-week intensive Japanese course at the end of last week, which was fun. I now know how to say “I’d like that one please.” and various other bits and bobs.

Uh… work goes as usual at CSG.

Kempo-wise, we somehow managed to get both Mark and Karl to come along to today’s (make that yesterday’s) session. Fun to have so many people in the dojo.

SG16 was fun. If you want more details they’re on the SG site – look for Shotgun LAN on the links page.

Couple of new photos, including a truly scary one of Pete.

Not much else to report really.

Ja,

Of the IC bunch that went to IBM last year. There’s only two, taken by Ruth Scorey on our first day. That was my 21st, come to think of it. No wonder I look so cheerful 😉

Anyway, they’re in the Photos gallery.

Time to find something else to do.

Just found this topical comic over at Real Life (a comic) – check it out… here.
Oh, and work’s happening, albeit slowly. First exam a week tomorrow.

I’m popping up to Durham on for the weekend with Phil to attend Vicky’s 21st b’day party. Promises to be a good time, and should hopefully give me enough time to hack out some coursework on the train.

The individual project’s going better than before; I now have moving elements and groups implemented, and tomorrow’s put aside for developing a sensible “the user’s doing this now” detection system.

In other news, we had the presentation for the Entrepreneurship Challenge today, which went OK but not wonderfully. We all dressed up in suits – it was scary to see everyone looking so smart!

I may at some point get hold of some pictures of our Paris trip, but don’t hold your breath.
