I wanted to write a fairly comprehensive entry today, but tiredness is getting in the way, so I'll see how far I get.

I managed to get the dissertation done and out the way. Yesterday morning I could be found clamped to a pillar drill with an assortment of sizes of bits, sheets of MDF, parts of the dissertation; all being watched by 20 visiting Americans while I struggled to undo the thing that makes the bed go up and down. It took two hours, but I finally managed to bind the thing together and put it in for marking. Not that there is much of a chance of it getting marked at the moment anyway as all the lecturers are partially-striking (e.g. not marking any work). I busied myself today in turning the document into a website that I am not going to publicise quite yet, but am generally quite happy with considering it's only a 24 hour job.

The IDT Stash is due any day now. I'm really looking forward to seeing them turn up, although at the same time it is just one more distraction from MDP, which has already taken a back seat. Tomorrow marks a change of pace however; DDS has arrange a business breakfast (ok, just a breakfast, but business breakfast sounds so much more executive) and it means I'll be in the department by nine.

Last night I went for a few early beers/ciders with Mike, Devito, Swan and Waddle at 'Spoons in town. It was good to have a bit of a social. I departed fairly early as I knew I'd got an early start. I was asleep by 10.30pm. Best night's kip in ages.
