In which I catch people up and sound rushed...

Right. What's going on here. No posts for a week and a bit - my site's decided that I no longer exist. No posts for people to read! Very confusing! I must act immediately. Right. So I left the BBC a week and a half ago - had a great leaving do with very cool people, wrote up our awesome Annotatable Audio project and then retreated back into the depths of Maida Vale to hide for a week. I've barely answered any e-mail, I've cleaned most of the flat top-to-bottom, nearly sorted out my taxes, I've watched a lot of TV, bought a microwave, been on a trip to the French Ambassador's pad (very exciting) and played one hell of a lot of World of Warcraft. Here is a picture of me getting ready for the French Ambassador's thing (with this Rocher you are really spoiling us etc....)

And here's my other big discovery of the week - marketing is getting weirder and weirder! This arrived on my doorstep completely personalised in full colour just for me the other day. And it knows what phone I have. How strange...

Er. Well look - basically I've started at Yahoo! today and it's all a bit disorienting and I'm not really back in the swing of things yet. If you've sent an e-mail I will get to it, I promise. If you're waiting for good exciting posts, then give me a few days to get settled in. In the meantime, if you want to hang out on World of Warcraft, then I'm on Dendrassil as "Pentheus" and occasionally on Runetotem as "Iphigeneia" exploring this new MMORPG world that all the young kids are into or something. Hope everyone's good out there in interweb-land!

Good luck Tom - I like the suit...

Spooky newspaper thing. Who did that then? Nokia? Your mobile phone provider? Some obsessive stalker?
