Archives for August 2004
San Francisco - LA - Enschede - Ashridge (August 25, 2004) So, back from Amsterdam for one day and then off to Ashridge for a day/night for a work thing. I got a decent night's sleep for pretty much the first time since I've been back in the country and am...
God I'm cool... (August 23, 2004) Not a lot to be said about this really except that I look awesome and I kicked ass on the go-carting front in the Dutch University town of Enschede......
From San Francisco to Holland and finally back home... (August 22, 2004) So this is probably the last part of my little travelogue, so it's probably going to be a bit long and probably more than a little self-indulgent and rambling. And I've already written the whole thing once twice and then...
Yesterday San Francisco, tomorrow the Netherlands! (August 20, 2004) So I'm back in London, basically, and haven't written up the last couple of days of holiday (which I really want to do because it'll help me remember it), but am now a bit hectic and confused because having landed...
A quick Flickr Odyssey of my time in San Francisco... (August 20, 2004) A quick Flickr odyssey of my time in San Francisco - I'll probably pull out some of my favourite photos and post them on the site proper, but in the meantime: San Francisco Apple Store Gay marriage falters in San...
San Francisco update... (August 17, 2004) So what did I do yesterday... Er... Basically went for lunch with Kevin and Jesse where we talked about Apple and set-top boxes and food and stuff, wandered into Technorati and said hi to people (wave to Tantek), micro-bumped into...
San Francisco day four and a bit... (August 16, 2004) So the day before yesterday didn't go quite as I'd planned. I didn't go and see Dinah or her kittens, but I did get to give Flakes to Heather and then go with her to Taco Bell where we consumed...
The day after the night before... (August 15, 2004) Well frankly, last night was bloody good fun. I'm just going to throw out a quick good morning to David Galbraith, Jish, Heather, Derek, Ben & Mena, Rebecca B, Lance, Sippey, Webb, Ezra, Jim Speth, Ben Cerveny, Min Jung and...
San Francisco: Saturday morning... (August 14, 2004) So I kind of slacked off yesterday, if truth be told. Not a lot of exploring, not a lot of drenching myself in San Francisco - just a fair amount of doing things I like to do that I don't...
So what shall I do today? (August 13, 2004) So I'm in San Francisco. It's 9am. What shall I do today? Thought around 11am: There are lots of films I would love to see and I am pretty wiped out after Los Angeles... Maybe one of these would be...
San Francisco, baby... (August 13, 2004) Ping. Now in San Francisco after cool drive with fun people in which I mostly slept and pointed at wind farms and acres of densely packed cows. Had subsequent great fun at the SixApart Mixer thing where I met loads...
Next stage of trip in the planning stages... (August 12, 2004) Briefest of updates: Last night: had lunch with Erik and Tim, before saying goodbye to Erik and wandering down to the Derby with Tim for drinking and band-watching and to chat to Alex who works there... Today: lounging around, lunch...
Stuff I've done since I've got here... (August 10, 2004) So I got to America several hours late and was then taken off to Immigration because some American doofus with the same passport number as I (except from America rather than from the UK) had his passport stolen. Hence I...
In which Tom gets a bit ranty... (August 5, 2004) Hmmm. And I talked too soon, it seems, because here I am stuck in the bloody airport as the flight has been delayed three and a half hours. Which means I'm left at the mercy of T-mobile's extortionate £10-for-three-hours Wifi...
Screw you guys! I'm going to California! (August 5, 2004) Right then! I'm off on holiday. If I get any free time, I'm going to try and polish off the rest of the New Musical Functionality series on the plane or in a café in San Francisco, but no promises,...
Disorganised, behind and apologetic. Again.... (August 1, 2004) Quick brief apologies to people who are waiting patiently for the next part of the New Musical Functionality series. I'm off to Los Angeles and San Francisco in the middle of the week and this means I have to get...
