(07:40:40) is having a great big stretch and a cup of coffee. Although doing both at the same time could be something of a messy challenge.

(10:29:57) has potentially found the missing musical link I've been missing - http://tinyurl.com/y4sa6v .. distortion is Good.

(10:31:50) If I have time, I might enter this particular remix competition: http://www.simplecarnival.com/contest.php

(16:58:03) Attention Zoom H4 owners, who, like me, might have missed it! New firmware out now: http://tinyurl.com/6nwakj Cool!

(20:14:34) saw "Mamma Mia: the advert of the soundtrack of the film of the musical of the songs of the band" And they say there's no originality left..

(20:54:18) I've been a-blogging: Luton Airport - off their trolley. http://tinyurl.com/6pz8qr

(21:25:56) I've been a-blogging: Zoom H4 - firmware update! http://tinyurl.com/69jgo4

(22:18:06) Ooh.. one of mine. The question is.. where on ~earth~ did BLIP.fm find it? Coolio.. ♫ http://blip.fm/~25wr

(22:20:34) Right.. last one before I go and do a VO for the podcastrophes... it don't get much cheerier than this! ♫ http://blip.fm/~25x2

(07:43:27) is back in the relative peace of the office. My word of the day: poltroon. Trying to think of appraisal things, without using 'poltroon'.

(12:26:06) is out of the appraisalings. Off for a geocache or three. I might take an umbrella.

(15:23:19) Woo! Geocaches.. 3 out of 3, including a webcam cache, which is a delightful oddity (to 'find' it you need to be visible on it). Grand.

(18:26:53) is in The Stag. This is where all the cool radio people hang out (Steve Lamacq is just 4 feet away). And the Wogan producer. Funny bloke.

(19:14:20) is en route to Baker Steer listening to @Z80GameCoder & @EpiduralGirl doing Bleepshow...starting with a lush Kraftwek cover.BLISS!^floats^

(21:09:07) is home & going to bed. It's been a good day, and I've spent most of it appreciating all the wonders with which I've been blessed. Peace.

(21:38:13) I've been a-blogging: Woburn Safari Park - Wonderful! http://tinyurl.com/6gq9yk

(07:42:26) doesn't feel like I fit properly into today. It doesn't help that MIDI seems to have gone a bit bonkers on the studio PC. Time to rebuild?

(15:15:51) has just been to Woburn Safari Park for the first time. It's a very marvellous place - some quite good photos to blog about later. Splendid.

(17:02:06) was quite amused by this: http://is.gd/1mVd, mentioned on TWiT. Now ~that~ is something London could do so much more spectacularly in 2012..

(19:07:22) Oh well done me.. I've had my Facebook account suspended having stupidly clicked a nasty link this morning. Gotta admire those trojans. Not.

(22:33:26) is off to bed after doing a comprehensive antivirus sweep of all the PCs I can get hold of. Work in the morning. Appraisal to boot. Oh dear.

(07:15:38) has just looked out of the window. It's looking damp out there. I wonder what would happen if it rained on the internet.

(11:19:01) I've been a-blogging: Family photos.. http://tinyurl.com/5nyjcz

(11:35:03) I've been a-blogging: Smartwater and Immobilise.. http://tinyurl.com/64apcl

(13:02:37) I've been a-blogging: 'secret' - the card game! http://tinyurl.com/684dmp

(13:23:32) is off to my Dad's with the children.. taking the GPS just in case! (of geocaching opportunities, not getting lost :D)

(16:53:18) is back home with two tired, grumpy children. Early bedtime for them, I think.. then some more studio time. Definitely.

(19:31:47) is making a list of Geocaches, and checking it twice - not sure which are going to be nasty or nice.. but there's plenty round work, too!

(19:50:08) Nice work, Mr Chris Morris.. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7580261.stm (surely it was him, right..? Please?)

(21:31:42) While researching ad music (for NSD) I was reminded of this: http://is.gd/1Sui ... I believe all adverts should be broadcast in this form.

(02:59:58) has scarcely managed to avoid a sneezing fit at 4am.. there must be something throwing out a lot of pollen right now.

(14:12:41) is doing the Smartwater thing.. auditing all the cool stuff we've got (too much!) I wonder how you get the serial number of a guinea pig?

(18:08:35) is most definitely looking forward to Stephen Fry's programme on English next Monday morning on Radio 4 (http://is.gd/1RfB)

(18:10:48) Well done me. http://is.gd/1RfH is what I meant. I very much smiled when I saw the logo at the top left hand side..

(18:12:47) is being distracted by a game of Russian Roulette with random recent http://is.gd links while the boy is still up.. I'd probably best stop.

(18:14:42) Quality: http://is.gd/1111

(20:10:45) has just taken delivery of some fine industry standard PA speakers. If that doesn't give me a reason to perform live,I don't know what will!

(22:09:25) I've been a-blogging: Visitations and vacations.. http://tinyurl.com/58sv6w

(22:27:30) is logging some geocache finds, with no small amount of help from @epiduralgirl, @Z80GameCoder and the legendary Amy.

(04:53:43) has Crunchy Nut Cornflakes for breakfast and Wint-O-Green Lifesavers for the commute.. Friday's started in a super-sweet way.

(07:53:40) has received an email from eBay with their reviewed prices. It all seems rather complicated, and puts me off selling things. Boo. Boo!

(10:42:17) has got smartwater now (http://www.smartwater.com/Home.aspx) - free from Bedfordshire Police (I guess it varies between forces and councils)

(10:43:31) will probably continue to use http://www.immobilise.com to register our techy stuff - unless anyone knows of better/issues?

(13:44:13) is looking up 'Heuristically' on the internets. I think I know, but I don't want to make myself look stupid if it means something different.

(21:12:19) is watching the news on TV for the first time in months. Can't see it lasting. Off to bed, so. Drag me out of bed at 7.30 tomorrow.. please?

(05:25:18) is awake and about to embark on some semi-conscious tidying before the legendary @Z80GameCoder and @EpiduralGirl arrive. It's gonna be fun!

(10:00:33) is having a Sit Down before a brief forage for biscuits. On reflection, I should've done the foraging first, but there y'go.

(10:01:39) will nominate James Dyson for a Nobel Prize if he can develop a whirry brush head thing that can discreetly deposit a furball afterwards..

(22:30:34) is off to bed after a busy, exciting and entertaining day with some fine folk. Random podcaster meeting in the morning! :S

(08:05:15) is back at work. One hour in, and I'm still working through the emails. Today is going to be a typical Tuesday, I fear. Pile on the coffee!

(12:38:45) has a migraine. I've tried alternative 'coffee & sweets' treatment but, before I have a cheese bap (non-medicinal) some paracetamol,I think.

(12:44:00) is reflecting upon Emma & Pete Show 114 (http://is.gd/1JZ2) and wondering what exactly the protocol is for parking on someone else's drive..

(12:55:19) believes it is well overdue for OffWight Radiator to reform. http://owr.mus-ic.co.uk

(13:01:38) is helping a colleague find a fire axe (he wants one for by his desk). This is one of the only sites that mentions it: http://is.gd/1K0j

(16:44:41) has just learned about 'type A', 'type B' and 'type C' projects. My head's gone a bit spinning.

(19:21:16) just heard what the children enjoyed about their trip to London: "We went to McDonalds AND Burger King!" Memories that will last forever...

(12:23:41) is in the Museum of London.. I'd not realised it existed. We've done London Wheel, a river cruise & The Bank Of England.. top tourist stuff!

(13:47:49) is having some coffee & chickeny thing at McD's.. everybody's kinda tired after lots of walking.. that's London! River cruisin' again soon.

(18:56:22) is home, with tired offspring & wife.. and me. Work tomorrow, followed by a visitation from internet legends. THIS is non stop fun & action.

(20:16:32) has photos, podcasts and blogs to sort out before bed (not to mention emails!) Need some peanut-butter on toast to sustain me. Briefly.

(21:53:15) I've been a-blogging: London tourism... http://tinyurl.com/55he49

(06:40:57) is highly skilled at remaining stoically horizontal in the face of Things To Do.. I will be dipping a toe into moblogging today..

(07:54:06) I've been a-blogging: A slight digression... http://tinyurl.com/66qagm

(19:08:52) A fun day, with all sorts of everything.. now we're all in a hotel room, trying to be as quiet as possible so the children can go to sleep..

(00:10:42) has a theory: in Medieval times, everyone in England spoke with a West Midlands accent. I'd have liked to have lived then.But not as a serf.

(08:06:18) is listening to TR808 cowbell & some delightfully short '80s samples while the children watch Tom & Jerry and Beth visits Asda. Saturday.

(09:32:54) will now tart myself up for photos later. I've a pot of bizarre hair styling wax on the desk in front of me but no idea what to do with it.

(09:35:23) FACT: my children do not like Vimto. Later: Tizer. I am an evil parent.

(18:41:52) has had a lovely afternoon with lovely photography Tamara, and is now contemplating this evening's activities...

(19:53:07) is in the studio, and will start doing something constructive in at least the next few minutes. Enjoying Own-Brand Malibu again. Relaxing.

(20:59:40) has just edited together car horns to make a humourous tune. Ronnie Hazlehurst was paid just 30 quid for the Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em theme!

(22:16:35) believes Rentaghost series 1 was the best.

(08:13:47) is up & about for the last day of the training course.. getting my internet fix first, though - although now I've got laptop PSU failure!

(10:09:48) is halfway through.. probably had enough coffee.. I've made some nice challenging puzzles for the delegates to work out.. ooh yes!

(15:12:18) is home hoorah. Absolute chaos. About to suffer body and brain shutdown. FAIL. bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

(16:13:32) is making Tom Tom voices with the children. One way to relax, I guess... :D

(19:49:27) loves this: http://is.gd/1xpk .. is it just me, or does John Linnell bear a striking resemblence to Chris Morris in this video?

(08:07:59) is just about to kick off some training... I've had coffee and toast, so no excuse! Shame about the SMS thing. Evil Phone Companies bah.

(09:12:47) is suffering from Doomed Server Syndrome. It's not going terribly well. I think Germany is out, which doesn't help any.

(09:38:13) is suffering from Not-Quite-So-Doomed-Server syndrome. Turns out the system was being reticent. More coffee then it's my turn proper.. eek.

(13:07:55) is just exiting the Borough of Lunchington, and is now embarking on a voyage to Teatimecester via the hamlet of Training-on-the-Dull.

(13:21:10) would, if I had time, write a thesis called "The benefits to learning of having a small infestation of wasps during a training course."

(16:23:00) is all done braindumping to some fairly awake delegates.. the wasps definitely helped. Off for a Spoons Curry Night after checking in...

(22:22:29) had General Wi-Fi Failure today. Managed to finish some major NSD editing, though. In bed by 11.20pm too; maybe not such a bad thing, then!

(07:26:54) is rockin' and rollin' this morning. In a good way, I think. "Caffeinated and Smug".. a band name or an album title? Off to look at webcams.

(08:07:33) can see Bill Drummond through the glass (just about to be interviewed on 6Music) BILL DRUMMOND! Legend. (bloke from the KLF, @poots ;)

(09:58:09) is convening for another couple of interviews. Is eating banana bread while interrogating candidates considered rude?

(13:25:55) is really pleased to see a website dedicated to integer sequences. (such as http://tinyurl.com/6o34an - abundant!)

(16:13:33) believes I know what's wrong with 6Music: the music only sounds good through decent speakers, and everybody seems to talk through a frown.

(16:46:57) has had a breakthrough and will celebrate by going home. And having a glass of water. Whatever comes first.

(19:36:29) wants to know where in tarnation (or its locality) my hire car is. @poots suspects they'll deliver a bona fide tractor in cover of darkness.

(20:05:20) has just enjoyed Kid Carpet's Olympic tribute: http://is.gd/1qnr & was reminded of Esser, what I heard on 6music. Similar: http://is.gd/1qnn

(20:53:46) has the funkiest dishwasher: http://tinyurl.com/6g4eff

(21:47:42) is packing, then heading to bed, in the hope there'll be something with four wheels and an engine outside the house first thing tomorrow..
