Hmm lots of stuff going on in lots of different areas.
In stuff that I will talk about the last 3 episodes of Buffy were allright. Not great. Good to see the Troika again and some strong stuff from Aly Hannigan. Not so sure the Big Bad is actually going to be any good, but I shall wait and see how that one turns out.
I’m heading to Dublin on Friday week and as it turns out I land around 22:30ish and will be going straight on to the 30th birthday party of one of my cousins. I quite like alot of my cousins and most of them should be there along with loads of other extended family members so that should be quite good.
I did not sleep well last night. That translated into sleeping late this morning, and quite late at that. It was sometime after 10:15 when I actually left the house and I was quite late for work. I did consider not going in as I didn’t feel great after the bad sleep but figured I should. Things are interesting there. I’m working on some Flash and Action Script stuff and I don’t really know what I’m doing. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing as I have a little time to try and figure it out and I am getting there slowly.
I did some work along the lines of what I use to do for the first time yesterday. It was quite refreshing to just sit down and type it out and make it do what I wanted to do. I used some tools I had not used in a while and while I certainly was a little rusty, it was all still with me. I wonder what I can do to use some of that in a more useful way more often. It is a handy skill to keep on top of in this company.
Quite happy with the new hosting company so far, it seems a hell of a lot faster then the previous company and so far no data loss or anything while switching. This is all good.
And from the sounds of things there are a large number of drunk people at the managers dinner in town. I wonder how they guys will be when they get into work in the morning.
The birthday party on Friday sounds like it is shaping up to be a lot of fun and I am starting to look forward to it a lot. Ok so I might be dreading it a little but ah well these things happen. The birthday party on Saturday night should also be quite good and I am looking forward to that too.
Kinda in two minds about David Gray on Sunday. I’m not very impressed with the new album which this tour is promoting. I’ve not even listened to it a second time, nor do I even want to. Hopefully there will be enough of the older stuff to keep me happy during the night. It is on in Earls Court which is about 15 minutes walk from my place so that is not too bad at all.
Oh yes. The first night we arrived in Kyoto, we went up the Kyoto tower hotel to the viewing platform. Its about 60 storeys high and has a nice view over most of the city. It felt a little strange being up there at first and I couldn’t figure out what it was. Then it struck me. The last time I had been up on a viewing platform like that was a couple of years ago when I was in New York City for a couple of days. It was at the top of the World Trade Center. It was quite a strange feeling realising this. Looking out on the city was kinda strange for a moment then the feeling passed and I wandered around. Quite a similar feeling a few days later at the top of the Sunshine 60 building in Tokyo.
A final attempt at moving to Moveable Type shall come soon alongside another new template. Both of which will turn out as badly as usual I expect.
