2 weeks off work, 264 emails. Hmmm. And that’s after spam filtering (but only 512 spam emails in my junk box – wierd). OK, delete weeklies I’m not going to read, and the missed spam…. 166 emails. Delete all the car parking, car lights left on, missed meetings…. 126 emails. I guess I’ll actually have…

I’m off work for a couple of weeks. Be warned, I probably won’t check my email and will probably avoid the internet as much as possible. There may be the odd photo added to my blog. See you in September!

With the internet, the roles of parents & children become reversed, & I don’t mean in the way you’re probably thinking of. Offspring have to protect their parents. We have to warn our mums & dads not to reply to emails from strangers (particularly from Nigerians promising cash), not to click on pop-ups (no, you…

Is it me, or is it weird that on the internet the big thing with video is live vidcasting, and yet with TV the thing to do is timeshift and watch it when you want?

It’s so quiet. It’s August, and most of the Medicine academics (certainly the lecturers in my wing of the school) have gone away on holiday.

Blimey, Moyles’ Breakfast Show from BBC Radio 1 is now a podcast (or at least, selections of it are). He’s sitting pretty at the top of the iTunes Top Podcasts list already. This means I can listen to Moyles on the train to work in the morning on my iPod, without a radio. Sweet.

I was late leaving work for the train today. Luckily, on the main road out of the uni I let a coach pull out in front of me & jumped into its slipstream. I haven’t done this for ages (don’t try it at home kids) & only do it on roads I know really well.…

Fuck. That was close. And the expletive is necessary. My train home got delayed part way. I didn’t hear why, but we were slow by about half an hour. It’s Friday. Unusually, I started to doze off listening to a Dawn & Drew Show podcast (it was probably Drew’s melodious tones that did it). I…

A “suspicious package” at Port Talbot’s train station has evacuated it & prevented our train from passing through. This has left me with this view for some time. I don’t know when I’ll get to work this morning. I actually quite like the view. They’ve been dismantling this (whatever it was) for over a year…
