Travelogue: Random Occurrences

It is a lovely Day here. I did slip on the ice on the way to get my mail this morning, but that was mostly because I wasn't looking where I was putting my feet. (By the way - I am fine… not injury.)

Travelogue: Observations

Some times I look at how people behave whilst traveling and just have to wonder what the hell they are thinking.

Travelogue: Orientation

One of the funniest things to happen last evening actually occurred before my friends arrived at Leicester Square. In preparation for the 2012 Olympics, there are construction projects going off all over the city. One of them (mysteriously) has closed Leicester Square.

Travelogue: Last Day-Last Night

It was a productive day at the office. I had a number of meetings getting myself ready to start a new spec that is branching me out to another of the areas of the system I am not terribly familiar with. The meetings were to get me brought up-to-speed so I can accomplish the task.

Travelogue: Coordination

It is not as if I had not known that this would happen. I was writing specs that were of a sort and complexity I had never written before, and in an area of the system I was unfamiliar with. It took ten rounds of revisions throughout the week, but before I left this evening, I had all the specs ready to deliver.

Happy birthday to my friend Tina

Travelogue: Tah-Dah!

I cannot claim to have done it alone. In fact, I could not have done it alone, but I loaded all of my assigned specs anywhere near this quickly. I was able to get into the specs in for review and get out of the office around half-six this evening.

Travelogue: Quiz Night

Ah! The pub Quiz Night! A staple of the British social night life! One of the local pubs (that I know of, there are more than a half-dozen of them within a mile of the hotel) had a quiz night tonight. I stopped in for dinner and to watch the fun.
