Fantastic photo-story on how lego® bricks are made. Makes for really interesting reading, along with some great photos.

I was thinking today, I’ve only got one more week after this of staying in the B&B, and of generally being away from home. And after two months of this, that is definitely a Good Thing.

In all it’s been OK, and I could (and would) do it again if I had to, but I’m definitely looking forward to a) not having to do that 7am train from Bracknell to London any more (well, after next Monday, anyway) and b) being able to go home in the evening.

In some ways I’m actually quite annoyed with myself, because I haven’t taken as much of an advantage with my time in the B&B as I could have done. There’s been a lot of work (and resolution) bits I could’ve done in this time, but I just haven’t for one reason or another. I’ve mislaid a lot of my motivation in the second half of this year – although that seems to be coming back, slowly but surely.

It’s looking like 2007 will be an interesting year, and now we’ve only a month of ’06 left, things are perking up a bit. So it’s all coming together again, thankfully.

But I’ll still be happy to not be in B&Bs all the time…

I came across this piece via Bruce Schneier’s CryptoGram email, but thought it was quite interesting:

Why millions of home burglar alarms are useless.

I hate having a cold.

It’s 6am (OK, now 6:15am) and I’m wide awake. The skin at the bottom of my nose is glowing like Rudolph, and is sore. For some reason I’ve woken up, and my brain won’t let me go back to sleep. So instead I’m sat here, coughing my lungs up, sneezing, and generally feeling like shit.

Oh, and one of my nostrils is blocked by a plug of what I can only assume is snot, which has apparently congealed in a spot that is both unreachable and immovable.

Ain’t life glamorous?

Holy Shit, I’m thirty-fucking-five.

Now there’s scary.

Turning Back

So – have you remembered to turn all your clocks back?

I’m sure we’ve still got a couple to do – but all the main ones have been done.

And lo, ’twas the run-up to the Festering Season once more.
