My site was down for a couple of days. You probably didn’t notice. These things happen when you’re on holiday, it seems. The nice people at Linode were very helpful, though, and it’s all back up now.
The Rolling Donut, Dublin. Highly recommended. Good to remember how good donuts can be if you don’t get misspelled American ones.
Ice-cold Guinness. I’m reminded of the late Bob Shaw…
At Holyhead, on the ferry for Dublin. It’s taking a while to get going, though.
Further to this morning’s post, it looks like I’ll be in the City for a while, and only going to the client’s site later, or occasionally. Which is good news for my commute.
On my way to first day at the new job. This is at the consultancy’s offices in the City, though, for induction, not at the client’s site.
Just realised that ‘Blue Monday’ gets its drum pattern from ‘Get Off of My Cloud.’
I’m pretty sure that all of these are meant to be autumnal. Yet here it’s early August — high summer — and there they are, growing madly.
First time anyone has asked me for a more detailed CV. But hey, I can write about myself till the cows come home.

This is what Virgin Trains calls a window seat now.
Monster sky out my window. And time I tried some photos with this new phone.
Wait, Now ATP has gone back to the old outro theme. Was last week’s just a one-off? I’m so confused.
[@colinwalker](https://micro.blog/colinwalker) Did you know that your blog’s search page for the term is the second hit on DuckDuckGo for #indieweb? Quite impressive.
Testing Micro.blog with the new server setup.
I’m shocked, saddened and sickened that Wimbledon can’t spell Garbiñe Muguruza’s name correctly on their scoreboard. It’s not an emoji.
Wow! ATP has a killer new version of its outro theme on episode 230. No mention of it in-show, though, even in the aftershow.
Forgot yesterday: worst thing about Apple earbuds is that the control is on the right-hand wire. Every other pair has it on the left.
Wondering why people recruiting for senior development positions often ask low-level JVM type questions. Doesn’t hurt to know that stuff, but who keeps it at their fingertips?
