Software patents. I don’t want them. I don’t think my employer will want them. The EU is pushing a directive permitting software patents.

Arriving as early as I did this morning the whole Trust was dark and deserted. You know it’s too early in the morning when you expect shuffling, moaning zombies to be wandering the site instead of your work colleagues.
There’s an old RS/6000 box in our kitchen. This morning I was greeted by Honour sitting on top of it. She’d slept much better and hadn’t been anywhere near as upset at sleeping alone. She’s now adopted the server as a pedestal to get a bit higher when we’re all in the kitchen.

Today we drove to Thing Hill, near Hereford, and came back with Honour, the dog you see pictured here. She’s a gorgeous beagle-cross-collie with a wary, but otherwise good, temperament.
It’s been over a week since I started using the TouchStream LP. I’m a lot more proficient but still fall foul of Q-vs-A, occasional punctuation (top right _/-/=/+ and occasional brackets), and can’t type mkdir quite as quickly as I used to (the mk tends to disappear). That aside, typing is extremely comfortable, and like many others, love the integrated mouse. Moving your hands to pick up a mouse feels just weird.
