• Watched a black cat catch a mouse this morning. Cat looked pleased. Mouse not so much. #
• Lots of nice #Landywaves on the way in to the office this morning. Have a great day all you Land Rover drivers of Surrey and elsewhere. #
• Training today for new Helpdesk s/ware. Realised how awful any training can be if it's not professional, well planned or presented properly #

• Got Ubuntu running on the Joggler from a stick, with wireless keyb & mouse, last night. Maybe it could do a MythTV-like front-end as well? #
• Toying with the idea of setting up a MythTV system to replace the TiVo. Hoping that the WAF is as good as it was with the TiVo. #
• Eeek: Lots of red on our system monitor screens. #
• I'm VERY unhappy that @TiVo and @virginmedia are screwing TiVo Series 1 UK Lifetime users by withdrawing EPG in June. @TiVoTips :Don't Buy. #

Been fror a drive. Lovely blue sky & sunshine, crocuses peeping through the soil in people’s gardens. Won’t be long before Spring is here.

Whoops – forgot to put the water in the bread machine last night. Result wouldn’t look out of place in geology lab as sandstone sample.

After four years since last looking at it, I just got a #Plone install up and running sweetly. Amazing how all that #Zope stuff comes back

Now in the office. Jolly cold outside and was some very light sleety/snow when I left home.

Daughter not well today so WFH (quite peaceful & nice view) this morning ’till Serena gets home from the nursery.

RT @Abinger_Hammer: The Infamous Dorking Cockerel! Our Feb 2011 feature http://fb.me/LCYyJiTV < it’s probably over 20 feet tall

Finally discovered that the codes to transfer calls on my Asterisk system actually work. More reasons SWMBO longs for a “normal” telephone.

@adders – You must have found that hat!

Lots of big puddles on the way to work. Ideal for swishing through in the Landrover.
