The personal disquiet of

Mark Boulton

January 21st, 2005

London and the Vault

In less than an hour i’ll be get­ting in my car, with my wife, and off to visit friends in Lon­don. Really look­ing for­ward to it. It’ll be just over three years since i’ve been to Lon­don prop­erly after liv­ing there for a few years, so vis­it­ing old haunts will be nice.

Another note. I’m chuffed to bits that i’ve finally made it into the CSS Vault. Thanks go to Mark for the submission. 

On to the Lon­don thing again. I am think­ing of drag­ging the wife, and chums, to the Design Museum whilst we’re there as we never really did much of the museums when we lived there. The Tate may be on the cards as well, that kind of depends what exhib­i­tions are on at moment. 

Of course there will be a visit to the Apple Store and pos­sibly a pur­chase (my ears have been com­plain­ing of late because of the unfor­giv­ing iPod earphones. Some of those squidgy ones may be in order)

So, any­one got any ideas? Where can I go at the week­end? (that is of course assum­ing the friends, and wife, want to come with me!)

    Watch out in the Apple Store. It’s vir­tu­ally impossible to get near a com­puter, as hun­dreds of for­eign stu­dents and tour­ists will be on Hot­mail and Yahoo at every screen! It’s mad­ness in there. Truly. It’s the biggest free inter­net cafe in town.

    Hey, no prob­lem on the sub­mis­sion. I think you’ve got a really nice, clean site going here. Appar­ently oth­ers do to, as all of the com­ments I’ve seen so far are positive. 

    Nice work.

    Colly — The Apple store was manic. got there just before the lunch­time rush and the mis­sus bought me an Air­port Express for a late Christ­mas prez­zie. Impress­ive bit of kit. Time to throw out all the cd’s! 

    Mark, Clint — Thanks for the com­ments. Clint, i’ve noticed it scrolls a bit slowly on FF as well. I’m not sure if that’s because by back­ground image is fixed. I’ll look into it.

    I knew the Apple Store would be busy. My Air­port Express doesn’t work any­more (blub).
