    So come on then lads and ladies, what are you up to today?

    Me? I'm waiting on the postman and Dell to phone about getting my laptop sorted.

    That little brown box from the USA would make me sooooo happy :)

    The weather is nice and bright too which is nice. I would go walking on the beach but went there a couple of days back and man, it was in a right two and eight. They have diggers in atm moving the beach back 12ft as it started to impose on the road lol.

    I'm creating a model of deflection in a steel tubular chassis using simple 1 dimensional beam elements in a 3d structure. That should let the team know if we need to add a sheet element to the base of the chassis to improve lateral rigidity.

    Also my 580 might be coming!

    Currently in Barcelona Sants waiting for the train to the airport. Then flying home this afternoon. I've had 3 days at my desk this year. And probably April by the time I get back to it. I love travelling. Miss my wife and dog though.

    Work, followed by dinner out with the wife and then resisting drink so I can actually get out of bed tomorrow morning to make it to ju-jitsu.

    Waiting for some huge veneer sheets to arrive, then spending a bit of time with some old high school friends, getting home to continue clearing my room and maybe make a start on my bass pickguard, and then hosting a gathering of college friends.

    Today I'm not seeing cancer patients; it's my day off. Today I'm going to check out metalworking lathes. That modding hobby can really get out of control... :worried:

    I'm sitting at my desk in the office, wondering why I didn't just work from home when it seems the rest of my team have.

    Whilst I'm here, I'm trying to identify potential interdependencies between a major programme of work and numerous discrete projects.

    Hey that sounds like school lmao.

    Well the Dell tech came and my laptop is pretty much brand new. Well chuffed !! we ran Valley and the GPU remained at 53c throughout. Not 95c.

    So I'm a very happy boy. I got a new keyboard too, so that coupled with how much I have babied this thing make it brand spanking new.

    Tell you what, Dell take a lot of hassle but they've been fudging cheesecake for me.

    I'm 'twerk. Paperwork, coffee, chats, lunch, radio 2, itil and then home, tea, tv, dog walk, tv, bed. I might get round to installing some ram and a tv card into my HTPC and have a fiddle with Mediaportal to see if it's easy to view/record/pause/etc and also if the epg is any good. I wish I'd got WMC free while I had the chance, although MP looks ok on other people's setups.

    Well I work at a University so that's close enough ;)

    Should be coupled with stabbing yourself with a sharp implement to ensure your attention span is maintained.
