Close to 20 hours of driving later, I’m back in Sheffield following my short jaunt up to Fraserburgh. I had two job interviews; one face-to-face with a firm in Aberdeen and the other by telephone with a firm in Nottingham.

Both interviews went well. I have been invited for a face-to-face with the firm in Nottingham on Tuesday. I’m told that part of the interview will be a programming test, which is great news. Bring it on – I love ‘em! The last firm to give me such a test hired me and we spent two profitable years together.

My family is getting more musical. My brother is now strumming and my sister tinkles the ivories once again. I’m looking forward to their gigs. Maybe I should learn flute? Or better, invent a new instrument. The music world will tremble to my cowpipe – a bit like a bagpipe but instead of one bag and four pipes you have four bags and two pipes. Just be careful which pipe you blow into.

I have an interview in Aberdeen on Wednesday. Right next door to my divorce solicitor’s office. Err… actually I got that wrong – it’s not next door. More like 2 mins walk.

If that isn’t an opportunity to multi-task, what is? ROFL

I love this channel! There are people in Afghanistan basically saying that they can solve the heroin problem by buying the opium from the farmers themselves and selling it on to produce legitimate medical opiate drugs. Presumably the price they offer will be at least as much as the evil drug dealers pay the farmers.

I’m so glad I’m up late! I can’t believe what I’ve just heard on BBC News 24. This scientist, Dr. Brenda Ekwurzel, is on promoting the notion that increased atmospheric carbon dioxide is somehow related to these hurricanes or something. However, the way she explains it is we can convert a small hurricane into a powerful storm. Which is kinda what happened to Rita. That’s scientific proof! Gawd bless global warming!

Umm… that’s… good, isn’t it?

She made me laugh anyway.

I have removed the link to James Randi’s site. I have decided that he is not a very nice man and that he is not running an educational foundation.
