I'm going to have to stop posting photos of the Brighton Bears until I get a zoom on the camera phone...you can't see anything really. But we were at a game with Nigel & Cheryl, I had the phone with me, so I took photos. Brighton won, which is the main thing :-)

The good thing about almost-November is that you get those cold but really clear days. And the good think about living almost near countryside is that when Freddie visits Jeremy & Kirsty you can go out on a walk and get your own private petting zoo.

Tomorrow is Concorde's last flight. I think this is a shame, as a) it was (and still is) a great technological achievement, and b) I haven't flown on it. We were talking about this at work today, and I remembered that I've stood on a Concorde, and looked in the cockpit, and sat in one of the seats, but I haven't flown on it. After leaving uni I worked for Speedwing Logica for a few years, and when we had a day trip to the office before starting work we were taken around Heathrow and shown around a newly kitted out 747 and a Concorde. My memories of Concorde are that it was very small, the cockpit was very low tech in comparison to the fly-by-wire 747.

If you get an opportunity to see Men In Coats, you should take it. We saw them last night, not knowing what to expect, and were delighted. Difficult to explain, but it's: comedy, silent, silly and clever.

I really recommend that you go and see Count Arthur Strong at Komedia this Saturday, he is a very funny man!

After going to Camera Club last night and seeing some of the photos people have produced using home printers rather than the dark room or the printing services from people like pixology I've decided it's time to look into getting one myself. My first stop is the Canon website where you can upload an image, and they'll print it out on the printer you're interested in. I've chosen this image as I seem to recall that images with greens in can be tricky to produce.

I also do my photo printing at home and I love the result. I am using the Epson Photo Stylus 830, with some great Tetenal paper from http://www.warehouseexpress.co.uk and some compatible ink from Jessops (half the price of the Epson cartridges) I really recommended it!

One of the guys at the office introduced me to RocketMania. Bah! Now I spend my spare office time trying to launch fireworks...

I'm working on a new database project at the moment which is dealing with a lot of number manipulations. To make sure we can test all the stored procedures/functions I started writing some test harness code. Then I did a quick google, and thanks to Robert Hurlbut's .Net Blog I found a TSQL Unit Testing Framework. My first 2 test procedures did what I expected - yay!

I made it along to the Camera Club tonight and am very glad I did. Tonights guest speaker was Greg Whitmore, the picture editor for The Observer. He showed us some of the recent photographs that he's commissioned for the Food Monthly magazine, and then some of the more recent news pictures. This sparked off a long and very interesting debate about all manner of news photography subjects, a lot of which related to the shock tactics used by some papers/photographers, and which turned the evening into the liveliest meeting I've been to so far.

Jane found SLIMP3, which is a little bit of hardware and some open source software that plays MP3s from our server through our home stereo. It's great, and we're not the only ones to think so. I had to add an ethernet to wireless bridge to stream the music wirelessly, but that worked perfectly too. I'm happy.
