Nearly Two Weeks In At The Winchester
The floors got a bunch clearer once I found the recycling bin corral; There were plenty of references to it, and to needing a proximity token to get access, but nothing saying where it is. Eventually found it by looking for common access doors with a prox reader. As can possibly be seen above, there…

Well, That Went Better Than Expected
I’m now moved in at the new place ( provisionally The Winchester, but it’s still being workshopped, and the focus groups are still reviewing it ) and moved out of the old one. The cats are going to be very confused; Nymphadora was obviously sulking at … Well, everyone … as I left, so she’s…

A Flat Must Have A Name
So far, the best I’ve got is “The Winchester”, for the Shaun Of The Dead reference. Backing up slightly; After almost two years living in a rented room in a place with cats who I’m sure you’re all sick of hearing about, I’m moving to a ( rented ) place of my own, closer to…

London Tube Map, 2018
Turns out that, while an interesting effect, the ‘coloured-in map’ look is a bit tricky to do, at least if you’re me & you’re using raster data. Probably easier if I was using some sort of vector layer approach, so maybe that’s a thing to look at? ( I’m supposed to be doing some species of online mapping thing for work purposes next year anyway, … ) Also, both the Northern line & Jubilee…

Neue Slowenische Kunst
If I’m going to be subjected to Rammstein & Laibach numbers as part of my mental earworm soundtrack, I’m damn well going to incorporate references to it in the posts. Most of the Dev Summit is, I suspect, of no real interest to y’all, so I’ll skip it. Plus, I have to do a presentation…

Beset By Light Drizzle
The plan for Monday was to do more tourist stuff, but was hampered by rain. Part of the Monday plan had been to go up the tower, but … I already know what clouds look like, and while the rain wasn’t bad enough that being outside was terrible, it did mean that inside options were…

So Apparently I’m A Food Blogger Now?
Yes, I had currywurst again.Don’t make this weird. The hotel room came with a drink voucher for some reason (because they don’t have a bar?) so something claiming to be local seemed like the way to go. Oh, and I took a picture which I’m pretty sure every tourist ever has taken.

I See No Purple Light Crashing Out Of You
A day, or at least some of a day, of being a tourist in Berlin. This one’s mostly photos. Slept … Badly, but also slept in a bit, which made up for it. The hotel has a push-button pancake making machine, which I didn’t notice at first, so I’ll try it out tomorrow. Because pancakes.…

In Which I Go To Berlin
This story properly starts yesterday, at a leaving ‘do for someone at work. Just one drink turned into more than one, and then another pub. No big deal; I travel light, so packing takes very little time. Then someone found themselves stranded, because their intended place to stay fell through, so the lounge at ‘my’…

Gen Con – The Games
In hindsight, going straight back to work the day after I got into the UK was what might be described as “A Mistake”.Kind of wiped me out on the blogging/summarising front, though it did lead to a hilarious situation when I edited the Big Red Couch episode we recorded that weekend, and had no memory…
