I’m writing this from the tube. Nearly opposite me is an older guy. He doesn’t smell so good, he doesn’t seem like a tramp, but he’s almost certainly a wino judging from the Gin he’s pouring into a Lucasade bottle.
When I sat down this end of the carriage was deserted. I saw people actually get […]
Since I’m not named after an eastern European country I can’t claim to be a Womble. However, I am now a great uncle to no less than 3 children. Congratulations to Susan and Danny. Jack Maarten was born at 7.47pm on Friday 11th May. I’m sure Samantha is looking forward to having a baby brother.

Not a real post today because I’m too busy:
Writing and sending interview questions for real posts
Looking after my wife who is ill with a severe toothache and needs plenty of love
Playing with my new shiny Nokia N95
Trying to find out who wants Joost invites for when I get an unlimited stack of them
Getting annoyed with […]
My baby has been a bit sick recently. So last night I thought I would treat her to a nice long massage. I used to do it all the time, and I still do it sometimes. But, spending an hour taking care of no-one but her gave me back something I’d momentarily forgotten.
Last night, I […]
Now I am back from the North country I am going to proceed to populate last week’s posts. Rather than deluge the feed with a heap all in one go I’m going to try and spread them out a bit. So expect random postings from last week to pop-up as I finish writing up each […]
So today the wife and I are off to the Lake District on holiday. No laptops are allowed. I still plan to ‘blog’ daily. I don’t know how many posts will get moblogged but there will be material when I get back in around a week.
Ciao.

I’ve been married almost a year. This next week and a half is going to be one of the longest times since then I’ve been without, Rosemarie, my wife. While I’m looking forward to going to California for the first time, I’m also going to miss my wife like crazy.
I’m sure she knows this, and […]
For the first time in ages I was so glad it was a Friday. I love my job, but this week there has been a lot on. I think partly our estimation of some part of the project has sucked. Partly I’ve just not been able to focus for various reasons.
What I am looking forward […]
When I’m down, she encourages me, when I need a bit of a push she is there using both hands. I know it’s pretty soon after valentines day for such sopiness, but I’m truly lucky.

This year I decided to do something sane. I bought tickets to Stomp for my wife, but not on valentines day. I love my wife every day, and I hope I show it every day too. With all the silliness around making the most of that one day a year, I think people forget that […]
Yesterday Rosemarie and a group of my work friends and their wives and partners went walking in Osterley Park. We had a lovely day, and it reminds me why I like living among the green of West London.
I have to say I thoroughly recommend becoming better friends with the people you work with by enjoying […]
Work requires me to do an annual review. So I’ve been looking at some of the goals I made 8 months ago. What strikes me is that some of the goals I made I have fully accomplished. Yet, if you asked me then if I really wanted to commit to them, I would have said […]
Recently I’ve had cause to be upset with a company that I get a service from. I’m not going to name names, but I am wondering what stance I should take. This company has managed to loose or not act on 4 letters. When they finally did process my request they managed to not only […]
Went to the Tate Modern today with the Mrs. We mostly wanted to experience Carston Höller’s slides. We also bumped into Matt and his friend Mel, and later Jimmy. The vote was still unanimous, the slides are hella arty fun.
There may be some photos on Flickr later, and possibly I video.
If you are in London, […]
I was chatting with Steve today about the moments in our lives when we have really distinguished ourselves. The moments when we got breaks, you could say. Steve said “when he got lucky” until we looked a bit closer.
The thing that occurred to me, was that when we both talked about something great that had […]
Seems like London went mad for 3 inches of snow today. Even I went a little mad, my flickr stream had a frenzy of activity as people posted the snow near them. Mostly it was pretty similar to the snow near me (thin on the ground and quickly going slushy).
So while I may sound like […]
I went to a networking event this evening. It was interesting and I met some really interesting people, but I was glad to get home to my wife. While some of the people I met continue to have some drinks and some cigars, I got to come home and listen to the excitements of the […]
Gosh! After one of your best (if not closest in terms of actual physical distance) friends tells you they didn’t know you had gone hippy it’s time to shout a bit louder. I am a Vegan, and I have been since March 2005.
What does that mean?? Well lets see…
veg·an
Pronunciation: ‘vE-g&n; ‘vej-&n, -”an
Function: noun
: a strict […]
Well it’s 1.07am here.
I am suposed to be writing a paper for ESWC rather than writing this, but what the heck.
Tonight I went to Magali’s house for a little dinner party. She is a great girl, and we all had a lot of fun. Leigh said he really liked her ‘ham cake’ as he […]
So, the people that should know do know the long story, but I have a second ‘date’. The girl is called Francis and she is fun, attractive, and friendly. Hopefully we will be going to the White Room for the Jazz / Mod night. Otherwise it will be a weekend thing no doubt.
