Today’s been a productive day! I’ve fixed a couple of niggles on the car – rear windscreen washer now works, as does the rear fog lights. Also, I’ve fixed a couple of other bits round the house so we now have a working outside light and a towel ring that’s not falling off the wall!

I met famous Amy!

Yesterday was my last day at Mustardhouse and on Monday I start a new job with Campbell Shaw. At lunchtime we went down the pub and had a beer. I was given a large box of Cadbury’s “Heros” along with a bottle of Champagne. I think they were trying to tell me that I should celebrate leaving rather than they were celebrating that I had left!

This colour picker is cool! (Found via Glazblog)

I have a couple of issues with the “Big Conversation”:

1. It’s a complete waste of time. Tony Blair doesn’t listen to his backbenchers or his party conference… there’s no way he’ll listen to the rest of us.

2. It’s been stated that the results will be used for Labour’s manifesto for the next election. In that case, does this mean that Labour is paying for this “Big Conversation” or is the tax payer?

In the tech field this time!

Lindows is a competitor to Microsoft Windows and the CEO writes an infrequent blog. Today’s entry shows the pressure that MS is putting on Lindows resellers. The most interesting thing is that the boss is prepared to fly from the US to the meeting in The Netherlands to be with the reseller. That’s good support!

Have a look at this clock using IE…

Off to Blackpool to meet up with some Britlore friends. Jon’s staying with Jen and Tim and so is estatic at the idea of seeing Leah and Jack again!
