    Heh heh. Today reads like some mobile tech advert. “I got to work early, with just enough time to sync my Palm Tungsten T and grab my email and latest news from the internet with AvantGo. After some instruction from the conference organiser I go to the conference’s lecture theatre and log into the networked…

    Tuesday and Wednesday this week we (our research group, and the Cardiff School of Biosciences) are holding the Tissue and Cell Engineering Society conference. I put together some graphics for the covers of the handbook (below), some signs, badges and bits. So today we’ve been busy getting the final preparations together, and it’s down to…

    I went running today for the first time since I twisted my ankle. What’s that, 6 weeks? Blimey. Sore, and limpy, but OK. A bit of running will probably do the ankle good.

    I spent my weekend on a sunny lake, catching loads of bream and carp on light float tackle with dog food, corn, luncheon meat and chick peas, watching carpers sleeping behind their bite alarms. I definitely had the most fun.

    Haha! I’ve done it! I’ve ordered a 17″ flatscreen and an ATI 9800 video card for the big PC. That’ll let me get some web design work done AND let me play HalfLife 2 if it does indeed come out at the end of the month. They should arrive tomorrow.

    ATI Radeon 9800 or 9800 Pro graphics card? There’s about £80 difference in price, but big a difference in speed is there? By getting the pro I’m future proofing myself for playing Doom 3 and HalfLife 2 at high-res, but is it worth the extra £80? Especially as I don’t have a lot of money…
