Just a quick note. I am day off today, so yesterday, Thursday, was the new Friday for me. As you will all know, this was actually the new Saturday for Golfy, who had Thursday and Friday off to play golf and go to a wedding. A very civilised way to end a week I think you will agree.
I am just waiting for my email to compact, the final stage of a process to clear it down lest it reach is storage limit, and cease to function. This sounds like a dumb thing to be considering on your day off, but I am up a bit earlier than I had planned, 7am to be precise, we cannot be on the camp site until 1pm, and the journey is an hour and a half, so we really do have a slow start, for once. I had also forgotten to do a couple of work things; the first was a nagging thought I had as the fallout from a complicated but excellent call with an American colleague. It was to do with the use of open source software, which sounds benign to you kids who can download anything from anywhere and expect it to be free, but for an organisation like Starfleet is a very scary thing. In short, if we combine things in the wrong way, we may be obliged to surrender our source code, our intellectual property, just because we are mixing it up with that open source stuff. Baffling stuff, with a baffling process to get it right.
The second was that I have not informed via email all the goblins and trolls who might need to know I have a couple of days off, so I thought I would correct the error and send a little note out this morning.
All I need is for the disk compaction to complete so I can do these two things and press the off button on my laptop, which is metaphorically and literally I guess a portal to everything I need for my working life. No wonder I have stiff shoulders.
Enjoy your two day weekend, as I will enjoy my four day version.
