Long time no post
And it's not as if I'm particularly busy either.
I've managed Capoeira twice last week and twice this week (assuming I go tomorrow night). This is mainly because last week I 'joined' the club - paid insurance and got a uniform - and while doing my teacher convinced me to get a 2 classes/week thing for the month. So no slacking!
Last Thursday I met up with a luminary of the Ruby programming scene, David Black. We (the London Ruby User's Group) Sat around for the evening having a good old yabber about all things Ruby. And Mac OS X. And Linux. And M$ and Perl and flame wars and on and on. Went for quite a while, and I think that David was probably out a bit long for his jet-lagged body (he flew back to America the next day)
But he did convince me to attend RubyConf in October!
I must have had a night in on Friday...Can't think of anything else I did.
Saturday I went talked to Dunya for an hour, and then Mark for 1.5 hours. It was really good to talk with some great friends, not worry about being judged or derided etc.
In the afternoon I had a picnic with Jo, her boy (Brad) was trying to get U2 tickets so it was just us. We bitched about work, as you do, and then I read for a bit while she 'didn't sleep'. We then met up with Damita and went to a party in Fulham. It was OK - all Aussies, many BrisVegas boys. We chatted with them a bit, but talked amongst ourselves more.
Damita stayed over at Jo's after that and I returned home.
Sunday Jo and I were going to go Rollerblading, but by the time I got to Jo's I'd decided it was way too hot. We went out for breakfast instead. I then came home and did the washing (5.5 hours for 3 loads) before running to see the new Batman film (I was bored, what can I say). So happens that the air conditioning was off in the Batman cinema so I saw the british comedy 'League of Gentleman's Apocalypse' which was OK.
And now I'm here.

well, my exams are over, and although I have to finish the economics thesis thingy, I have about 3 weeks until I start enterprise architectures and AI.
So hit me with Ruby.
It was good talking to you too.
