Urg – the XML doesn’t post at all well – there are a lot of comments and unfilled data. If you need this urgently ping me.
Firedrill in Provo
At 10.30 the alarms went off and the building evacuated; like so many ants swarming out of an ants nest.
Bleak portrait photos
I did an interview for a trade magazine a week or so ago – not an uncommon occurance; this week they are going to press and they called Rod, our PR guy, and asked for a photo to run with the article.
Hmm.
I was at Alan’s place tonight – and he’s a dab hand with the camera – so we did a couple of serious looking photos. Then really made them bleak with PhotoShop.
Books
Since leaving for Europe in mid-May, being ill, then coming back to the US I’ve read a lot of books.
Here’s the summary:
Savage Summit – Jennifer Jordan
Atrocity Exhibition – J G Ballard
The Bomb – G J DeGroot
Teach Your Baby to Read – Glenn and Janet Doman
I re-read:
Espedair Street – Iain Banks
Cluetrain Manifesto – Locke, Searls, Weinberger
The Complete Henry Root Letters – William Donaldson
New Hampshire
I am back in Lebanon, NH for a day or so – and what a difference from the previous visits.
The first few visits here were during the depths of winter – very cold and with a higher humidity than Utah it was bone chilling.
Today it is sunny, warm and about 30’C/90’F. This part of NH is also very green and lush; even with the prolonged rain back home it is nothing like this. It’s a real reminder of England.
Drivel
I found another nice new tool for blogging – especially when I am off-line.
Drivel is a really cool client for working with your blog – it supports the online hosted stuff like blogger as well as self-hosted sites like MovableType or WordPress.
I installed Drivel from the Fedora Core 3 RPM (runs just perfectly on NLD) – just make sure you have an updated libcurl on your system. You may need to do some jigging around with symlinks in /usr/lib if you find badly behaved/packaged applications.
