- I spent this weekend in Brussels. I'm a travel freak, I live to travel. Trips away from the quiet screen-based existence of my office are marvelous for time to reflect without the distraction of housework and IM. Each trip gives me opportunity to see different things and meet new people. Meeting people and working with them is some...
- Do you see what I did there? Being the free technical support for ones family is something I have tried to avoid over the years. However, I have a reciprocal arrangement set up with my [aunt|http://www.cherrybaker.com]. I get [exercise classes (specifically Spinning) at The Pilates Studio|http://www.thestudioglossop.co.uk] and ...

- I'm currently trying to fight the distraction monster. There's tons of things I'm involved with for Adaptavist and I'm still in the middle of moving into my house. Like everyone I've got other family and life commitments and I'm trying to get fit. Getting fit takes up valuable spodd/geek/working time. And in the process of tryin...
[Ed|~erobertshaw] and I have been sent from our offices in the north west of England to attend the user conference. We spent the day we arrived taking in the sites of the Altstadt on the banks of the River Rhine. We sampled some of the fine beer produced by a brewery in the town, carefully managing to stop after a reasonable amount...
Atlassian Summit exists in my mind as a blur of information, spinning names and faces of people I'd previously encountered only virtually, and talks punctuated with fun, cakes and great wine. Two long, information-packed and full-on engaging days. It was a great experience from start to finish. If you use Atlassian software on a da...
We left Heathrow on Saturday morning and spent 11 hours on the Tinker Belle, which flew us to San Francisco.
Here are two guys who I think are possibly reading the map before take off. Use a satnav fellas!

This is only a minor entry to add some images from my new Nikon D5000.
Got the battery today after a full 24 hour wait and I have just taken some photos to test. I love it. I used to have a D100 which was great, but this one is much better as it is about six years younger.
The auto feature rocks. I now need to read the instru...
Disappointed? Is it because Newcastle United were relegated out of the premiere division? No I am not a geordie, so I just don't care. Sorry Magpies! It's not that I don't care about your loss I just really don't care about football. That's soccer to you, Americans.
Is it my lack of faith in my political representative and the c...
Working remotely means that sometimes I feel like a lonely little satellite out in deep space. We use a couple of Apps at Adptavist to counter this. The most useful addition I have found to be Yammer. Which is kind of like [Twitter|http://www.twitter.com] only used internally. By which I do not mean that it is ingested and the resu...

- I got an iPhone yesterday. It's excellent. It makes all other mobile phones feel like they are steam powered and built in circa 1863. I got it, connected it to my iMac, synced it and that was it....finito. All of the email accounts were set up immediately, bunch of music and all my contacts. No extensive entering and reentering...
