Time Gous By So Lowly

Madonna's got it all wrong, time is going by faster every day, at least that's what it feels like at the moment. I only posted three entries last month, how rubbish of me. I will try and do better this month.

To summarise that which happened which I did not yet discuss from last month, in no particular order or with any promises of completeness...

• Returned from Budapest and vowed to return again later in the year.
• Replaced dead 3rd gen iPod with nice new video one because I'm not patient enough to wait for apparently delayed full-screen video version.
• Contemplated Boot Camp for 30 seconds but didn't want to sully my gorgeous iMac in such a hideous way.
• Discovered Parallels Workstation and bought immediately because it does such a good job, is improving massively quickly and is very reasonably priced. Windows in a Window. How it should be.
• Recreated our mobile demo unit inside a Parallels virtual machine so Richard can do demos with just his MacBook Pro and a set top box. Mac OS X running Ubuntu running CentOS (still using VMware inside the VM!)
• Ran around the roofs of tower blocks running ethernet cables from lasers to big switches.



• Went Geocaching with Tom and Kat, was great fun, must do it more often. And entering military installations with big padlocked gates makes it kinda exciting!
• Finished working for Newham.net. After a brief dally with the job market decided I still wanted to pursue a business with Richard because going to work for 9am every day is just not on anymore.
• Caught up with Tom & Matt from Planet Three days, nice trip down memory lane and good to catch up on what's been happening with some former colleagues. Also some good potential work for Regenology. Lovely.
• Rejoined a couple of websites, started talking to some lovely new people, and most importantly, increased hits to freakymousemats.com.
