Watched the F1 qualifying. Now onto Dr Who — the Androids of Tara. (Beth vetoed my first choice of Horror of Fang Rock as too scary.)

| Kate turned on the water feature. The RCD tripped. So she removed the RCD and plugged it straight in. The house RCD tripped. Inevitably. |
|
| Day off today. Have a medical for new insurance policy this p.m. and thought I’d take the whole day off and take it easy. |
|
| Kate’s PowerBook 12" has just died. No display, no power light, no DVI video output. Still boots and can get in with SSH though. |
|
| Bought myself a cheapo £25 power supply for my MacBook Pro. Ugly, but it works. And it isn’t charred, like my Apple one. |
|
| Using Google Chrome for my browsing today. Feels ok. |
|
| NHS car park charges scrapped, but not Ninewells. http://tinyurl.com/69gzqj |
|
| Found my keys this morning. Lost them over a month ago. Third time I searched the car, I found them down the side of the passenger seat. |

|
| Wondering whether New Tricks is the best thing on TV at the moment. I think it may be. |
|
| Tried to buy an iPhone 3G in Glasgow today, but the Apple Store didn’t do upgrades, and the O2 shop didn’t have any white ones. Phooey. |
|
| Netgear router apparently runs a proxy called reaim, which blocks port 5190 when NAT is disabled. Very annoying. |
|
| @Sharikkamur As head of CS, don’t you have researchers to delegate these tasks to? |
|
| @qidane So you've had a busy day, then. |
|
| @the_magician Not sure of all the details. Is it ok if I pass your email address on to the project manager here? |
|
| Does anyone know a technical writer who could do a review of the documentation and source code comments for a project? Maybe two weeks work. |
|
| Getting my network working without NAT. Netgear router’s firewall is a bit grim for incoming traffic to multiple real IPs. |
|
| Lunch at Dundee Debenhams café today. Card-holder’s voucher to spend. |
