and we're back* / a bit of a personal touch

*at least for a minute or two

I have started using 'OhLife' diary thingy and the prompt seems to be helping me write stuff down :-)
In keeping with the inconsistant blogging I'm doing, i've copied the following from there - the last couple of days:

Morning traffic is nowhere near as bad as last evening was* :-) IKEA is disorientating, but much selection success & nice, good value (confusing*2) food Sofa bed selected but no time to find stuff on the shelves - will need to re-trip *+30min *2 15 meatballs £4.50ish 2x10+chips £3

Finished reports. Made then look pretty :) Thought about genetic search fallback for if people put stuff in the wrong fields. Slow oven-baked cherryade, results at 6 (on friday)

Cherryade just heated up lots. Needs a lot more time.
Went to a friends birthday pubbing & had an interesting history-architecture-preservation/restoration discussion :-) living architecture vs the way things used to be. I seem to prefer a non-restoration approach, probably with drawings and diagrams.
Still not king - Yay!

Wendyhouse good as usual. Still not drinking in a night club leaves me feeling socially awkward (drink suppresses the mild paranoid feeling of social rejection) Job/career related chat with CH was good and vaguely stayed on track (who an I kidding, I can't avoid rambling off on a tangent when talking programming) :-) Oh, 'MAD' missile defence game is good. If you get several buildings destroyed the music gets more epic and starts constantly apologising for the destruction. Was momentarily ruler of a small nation made mostly of mozzarella.

Annoyed by IKEA - not in stock & delivery is expensive from store & no option to collect or use vouchers if I buy online. It's like they *want to stop* me buying things from them :-( Still, partial success on other items & interesting place for food & nice day with fun people - would love more days like this with just a little tweaking on the productiveness.
