Ok, hold up - where did the weekend go?! fucksake! Here I am, 11pm on a Sunday, trying to remember what I’ve done in the past few days..
Friday: Slow day at work, very “bitty” finishing off bits and pieces. Regular weekend meeting with the boss, then lunch, then another meeting, then off to the Wall Centre for a Quarterly Review Presentation - woot! We saw the new TV ads for LiveLinks and Tango Personals and I have to say - they’re pretty classy! Teligence recently won the BC TIA (Technology Industries Association) Company of the Year award so the presentation ended with a champagne toast. We also all got given T-shirts with “Dating is BETTER here!” on the front and the LiveLinks logo on the back. In pink. PINK! Not sure I’ll be wearing that out any time soon but I’ll wear it round the house, sure.
Home after the presentation, then out for a haircut, then back home to chill’n'veg - kinda tired after a long week and happy to just take it easy.
Saturday: Got up late and lazed around. The weather started off nice then turned mardy, real dark black clouds and a bit of rain. Did some work on my project, pissed around with this and that. Hit the movies to see An Inconvenient Truth. It’s good, interesting, yet worrying. It shows Al Gore giving his presentation on global warming interspersed with non-presentation segments where he’s telling his story direct to the audience. Good film, definitely worth seeing, I’d give it 8 out of 10 (with IMDB currently rating it 7.2 out of 10). At the same time it kind of makes me feel a bit helpless. It’s like - the world’s fucked, the climate’s fucked, the chances of us being able to recover and restore balance seems pretty unlikely (even with all the best intentions), so what happens in the future?
Sunday: That would be today then! Regular Sunday routine: got up, listened to Dance Anthems on Radio 1, phoned the parents. Much nicer day outside today, blue sky, sunshine, cool breeze - NICE! Did some more work on my project and cursed that the documentation for Ruby on Rails isn’t as good/easily accessible as it maybe could be. I think functionality wise, I have the pre-launch page pretty much sorted, minus minor tweaking - I just need to sort the CSS out and get RoR working on my server and we’ll be good to go. The excitement builds!
Spent the evening crashed out on the sofa catching up on some TV.. A bit of Shameless followed by From The Ground Up, nice :-)
Back to work tomorrow for my Tiger Team experience RAAAWWWRRR. Have to admit that I’m not totally looking forward to it, but I’ll go in with an open mind and see how it goes (prepare for a rant about it in tomorrow’s podcast? hehe). On that note, I’m off to bed.. early night for an early start tomorrow!
