Been going back through LJ posts and, as it's now 10 years and a few days since I got a permanent account, I thought I'd try the iOS app.

About to head off to the festival at Reading. Should be fun in all the rain!

Well, that's the work / life disconnect completed.

All work bozos off FB and Twitter.

( I think there may be one left on here but I can't be arsed to check. )

At present it seems like life is WRGies and Vulcan and other fun things paid for by existing for 8.5 hours each day writing software.

I've now created a WRG ( Waterway Recovery Group ) category in my gallery here and added an album of photos I took of the site yesterday.

Well, after 4 months work that included a leg change and wing modifications we appear to have a flying-tin-triangle again.

Yay!

Hmm, that was interesting. Thought I had WRGies and Vulcan supporters as friends on here. Nope they are all on Facebook. At least I don't have to explain who the_hunter is ( Read more... )

Thought it would be a good idea to update my userpic following yesterdays haircut! :-)

Just been on the NASA site and spotted that the rover Spirit appears to be in hibernation mode.

Previous Martian winters have bben survived because the rover could be tilted to catch the sun, that's no longer possible as it's bogged down in soft sand.

Having made it 6 years into a 3 month(!) mission, I hope Spirit survives.

Must be getting old.

The short-track speed skating is turning into a farce.

First the Brit girl gets disqualified when she was twice the victim of dodgy tactics by the Canadian girl.

Then the starting gun packed up and now they've just decided that a Brit who was impeded shouldn't be advanced.

What a bunch of dickheads!
