Daily Post - Friday

A crisp sunny day, and one spent mostly at home too, which was nice as I am still shaking off the remnants of this damned cold.

First business this morning was a trip into Sheffield for a dental checkup. It was ironic that it took the same length of time - about half an hour - to drive the six miles through traffic as it normally takes me to drive the thirty miles into my office in Leeds. The checkup was fine - I just needed a replacement for a small filling that had worked loose.

Back home and down to work, some of which was taken up by a half hour phone call to one of the other developers who had some questions about a spec that I had written. This is why I have avoided any situations where I might have to manage people for my career ...

At lunch time I had a quick play with Google Wave - first impressions are that it is interesting, but it's a tool looking for a function to perform rather than the other way round. Disappointingly it doesn't seem to work particularly well on the iPhone just yet, but I imagine that they will be developing a web app for it as they have with Reader. I think it could be useful if coupled with some sort of push notification.

Dog walked, leaves raked and the sun is setting outside so it must be nearly time to put the light box on for the evening.
