Riders on the storm

Well, the day started well, at least.

Bright and clear, with an easy drive into the office listening to Phil and Phill on my iPhone. It was quiet when I got to work too and I cleared a few things off my list before getting bogged down trying to work out why displaying archived documents from the image server was not working in our web app on my laptop. This involved removing and reinstalling services, tweaking registry entries and ini files and rebooting every time, to no effect. Very frustrating.

I'm due to be going up to Tyneside to do a demo tomorrow and the consultant I'm going with was having problems getting things set up, so I got diverted onto that as well. I was a bit distracted by the time that five o'clock rolled around and so I managed to leave the office and get onto the motorway before realising that I'd left the projector that we'd need on my desk. Doh. It took me half an hour to get back and pick it up, and by that time the traffic was really snarled up on the M1. Lovely.

Still, at least I'm home in the warm now, with a vanilla machiato to drink and the prospect of playing with a dinky wireless keyboard for the Wii that Jan found in TK Max for me.
