    I’ve managed to survive to the age of 30, I’m healthy, happy, and have been of some use to the world so far. Shall we see if I can do better in the next 30 years?

    Wow, I’m 30 tomorrow! I know, I keep harping on about it, but still, I’m 30 tomorrow! It has kinda crept up on me this week. I didn’t realise it was Wednesday for a while today. You know how it is, when you’re busy. Tomorrow night I’m going out for a meal with Kim, and…

  • Server

    I went to post something last night, and found my SQL server that runs this blog was down. Uh-oh. It was too late and I’d had too much Scotch whisky to sort it out right then. I just checked the server, and it had rebooted itself, and an entire drive was missing. Assuming a hard…

    One week left of being 20-something. Hmm. Interesting. I had a physical exam with my GP today. Apparently I am extremely fit and healthy!

    It looks as though I’d save around £80 a month if I cycled to and from the main train stations in Cardiff and Swansea. Hmm. That’s good motivation. I’ll follow that up.

    This makes a change. I’ve started a new job as a lecturer (a permanent post, unlike the potential of decades of short-term post-doc contracts), I’ve had a scientific paper of mine accepted to a good journal (pending a few revisions), and I’ve been invited to speak at a conference in Belgium at the end of…

  • iPod

    I just checked my Apple support page and my iPod got shipped today! Hopefully it has been repaired FOC. I wonder when I’ll get it? That’ll really help my commute. You know how you sometimes you think you see the face of someone you used to know well, but has departed (either this or other…

  • Mondays

    Oh dear. Monday mornings are very hard when you have to get up at 6.45. More coffee required?

    I have updated Jack’s website with all the videos and a collection of photos up to the end of January.

  • Run run run

    I’ve just been running! Running along the beach at Swansea when the sun is out is almost on a par with running around Central Park for a view (running around and around the reservoir does get pretty dull after a while, believe it or not). The changing facilties are OK, and not too far from…
