Insurance finally pulled their finger out

My insurance company couldn't repair my phone so they've sent me a new one. Yeah!

It's behind you! What my career?

We're off to see David Hasslehof in panto this year
 
 
 

It's a conspiracy

Time travel my arse
 
 
If that's someone gone back in time using their mobile phone, there would also need to be mobile telephone masts everywhere. 
 
Idiot.

Finally IT have pulled their fingers out

After a year of trying they've finally got round to sorting out our distributed simulation across multiple PCs problem.  Now we can use other computers cores to make our models run faster.
 
We're got 9 quad cores and a duel core, 38 cores for those not great at maths.  Previously we could only use a maximum of 4, now we can go 9.5 times faster (not quite as it takes a while to copy across to each new machine).
 
One of our models takes an hour an a half to run, I reckon we can get it down to just over 10 mins.  Brilliant.
 
The best part about it is my other team members won't know who's stealing their cores.  Ha, ha!

I thought I was a man

I've been to the gym yesterday and today which is pretty good considering I usually hurt too much after playing on the Saturday.  Today we were given a warning that the hot water in the showers was not working so I said that it didn't matter.  Afterall, after a good workout who wants a piping hot shower?
 
After the workout Iturned on the shower and stuck out my hand into the cold water.  ARGH!  I screamed.  It was bloody freezing.

My team is SO cool

We've just had our regular bi-weekly team meeting and my boss just used the phrase
 
"positive semi definite and all that jazz"
 
In relation to correlation matrices.
 
I'm surprised we get any work done with it being this much fun.

How the mighty have fallen

 
Poor old Randy Quaid.

Is a second life needed?

I haven't spoken to April since very early on Wednesday morning.  Other than texts and missed voice mails I think the only way to speak to her is through 2nd Life as her company seems to enjoy.

Return of the Caveman

Yesterday morning I got up early for my exam in central London and had a shower.  Whilst showering I noticed that one of the tiles was filthy, I wondered what could have caused it.  Then I looked at my hands and they were still covered in mud from yesterday's rugby training.

 

April had been gone for just over 24 hours I barely noticed that I needed a wash.  Jeez.  I won't last till the end of the week let alone for 10 days.
