Hit the road!

I like driving on days like these.

Wind the climate control down to 16 degrees. Stick a good driving compilation on the cd player and head out on the highway, looking for adventure and whatever comes my way. Which to be perfectly honest usually means a queue of traffic on the M5/M6 link and holdups through the M1 widening road works, but that's the difference between driving across Merkinshireland on a Harley and doing the work commute in a company car.

The steady stream of support calls and emails for the expense systems is starting to tail off although I expect another rush just before the deadline for this month's payment run. Most calls have been things that should have been answered if people had read the email that they were sent several weeks ago, but I'm used to that by now. Still, it keeps me busy.

I'm about to start investigating all of the fun things I can install on my Topfield PVR. There are alternate programme guides, smart searches for automatically recording things, mp3 jukeboxes and even games if I had a temporary mental siezure and decided that I wanted to play sudoku on the TV.
