For Yours truly, September starts in early July

After a grand total of three weeks’ holiday – mostly spent at home, though relaxing and in great company – am now back at work on two new translations. Couple of very funny books, to boot. I love working when everybody else is on holiday, so then I can take two weeks off in November and tell them all to bugger off.

Meanwhile, it would appear FriendFeed is my new drug of choice. Love the lightheartedness of most conversations, feels a bit like a *very large* IRC chatroom. Great way to meet new people and discover new blogs and tumblelogs. Plus, unlike Twitter, I think I can find a way of posting in more than one language on FF without going mad. I was thinking of subscribing to some French and German people, so even if I don’t write back I still get some language practice.

Oh, and I’m writing this on my new EeePc900. Best buy in 2008 so far.

Just a few more weeks…

I haven’t bought new shoes in four months, but we’re almost there. It’ll soon be mine.

Public service announcement

I’ve switched to Blogger Beta, and God help us all. If my blogs look funny in Opera or Safari, sorry, not much I can do about it. If you can’t comment with your Blogger account, either switch to Beta yourself, or comment as “Other” or “Anonymous” (but don’t forget to write your name). Thanks!
