Sigh – I’ve been looking for ski boots again – and nothing fits.
I’ve tried rentals before – and I’ve always had a really painful few hours with cold, cramped, uncomfortable toes. I’ve tried buying – and nothing seems to work for me.
If anyone knows of any good Utah based ski boot shops that will fit to strange, large feet and calves – let me know!

WordPress 2.0 is close. Release Candidate 3 is now available.
I’ve installed on a non-live server – and things work ok right now. Some testing needed on the plugins – but fingers crossed.

Looking at the Google Zeitgeist for 2005 and there is one really interesting piece:
Whose News
When news is reported instantaneously, and more people than ever expect to get their news online, which sources do people consult – and for which stories? We took a look at three major news organizations which have come to new prominence for a global Internet audience.

This shows that BBC is outpacing CNN for online news.

As I was in central London I made a special visit to The Stationery Office Bookshop near Holborn.
TSO is a strange beast; formerly HMSO (Her Majestys Stationery Office), now the Office of Public Sector Information – it is the official publishing arm for the UK Government. Everything from Government papers, reports of debates in Parliament to ITIL, Prince and other documents are published.
The TSO bookshop is a veritable hideout of really specialist, non-overlapping information.
I was buying books on ITIL – the IT Infrastructure Library – for my team. Useful and required reading in todays IT world.

Today is Friday. I am back in the UK -and on the train again. This time heading north from London to Leeds on GNER.
On the positive side – it’s a nice fast journey up to Leeds – no hassle of flights, getting to and from the airport and all of the checkin hassle. It’s also a lot lot faster than driving (probably four hours each way – which would hurt). There is also free Wifi on the train (woo!) – which is actually useful (sync of mail and get some research complete).
On the negative side – the value is questionable. While less than flying – it still hurts to pay so much for a flexible ticket.

It’s Thursday – I’m in Frankfurt.
I am using guest internet access at the Star Alliance offices here in Frankfurt. That’s good fun.
