I’m on holiday at the moment. Not actually on holiday but not at work (as opposed to doing work, which I am).
Through a link from a link I found this brill cartoon site that just tickled me. Here’s a small selection of my favourites
Maybe I see something of my self here…
We’ve just had a team building day at work. While I didn’t feel like murdering the facilitator I could have damaged some of my colleagues!
This last one just amused me. Have a read at the commentary that goes with it from the site.
Who could possibly design a phone that can’t be tethered? Possibly the company that designed a phone that didn’t do 3G when it had been pretty much the standard for the last 4 years. Could this be the same company that created a phone that can’t do more than one thing at once? I did read somewhere that it can actually multi-task but it just does it differently, one task at a time.
The author does have a point thought. Ever tried to use free wifi in a coffee shop or pub or any of the other places where wifi is supposed to be available? It is certainly not reliable, or easy to connect to in a great many cases. It takes patience, skill and a knowledge of the operating system’s more advanced features (that’s the iPhone out then 
).
That’s all for now. I’m off to delete all the gmail people that register to post comments on this blog. I know they are all spam bots because none of them have websites of their own!

Images,
Technical I’ve been playing around with Google Maps and Google Latitude today. Maps are of course the map, satellite imagery and notorious street view. Latitude is the GPS tracking facility. I’m now tracking Nick’s mobile phone so I’ll know where he is each day when he is on holiday. If he stays stationary in Bangkok for too long I’ll start to worry that the red shirts have him. Anyway, while reading around the Google Maps site I discovered the feature that enables you to create your own route map, so I did. The map below shows my walk from Ipswich Station to the university. The only problem is that the Google satellite must have passed before the uni was built so it looks like I work in a heap of rubble!

Miscellaneous thoughts & ravings This might not seem strange as I am normally about to head out the door on my way to the station at this time, but today I am going to the gym. I’ve rejoined Greens. I always liked Greens, especially the swimming pool and steam room but unfortunatly working at the NNUH and laterly at University Campus Suffolk (UCS) has prevented me from having the energy to go to the gym in the evening. It is hard to motivate yourself after you wake up from a train journey. Now I am working from home three days a week I am intending on going in the morning, hence I’m up early when I don’t really need to be.
I really struggled to find a gym tee shirt to fit this morning and my leggings are decidedly less loose that they were when I bought them. My work trousers are also a little tight. I think I may have developed a bottom and hips. My aim is to get rid of them a quickly as possible. Not sure how I will go about this but hopefully one of the instructors will have some idea.
Right, less blogging and more getting started!
