Played doubles yesterday, as the courts were full; won 7-5 playing with my regular singles opponent, we went down 4-2 then played very nicely till the end. Was looking forward to a second set, but it started raining – pity. I took the NPro Surge which I’ve been trying out back to the store (liked [...]
Played against a new guy this morning, lost 6-4 6-4, tight game but for some reason felt like we were both holding something back. Enjoyable, nonetheless. I’m trying out the Wilson NPro Surge at the moment; seems quite nice, have to try a few others to get a good comparison.
I finished Never Let Me Go…overall, [...]
Been doing some more work on the Knowledge Base; last night I updated the page on services, which I thought would be a fifteen minute quicky and turned out to be an all night slog. Tom B., when he wrote the stuff initially, included a comprehensive list of all the services in MDK. When I [...]
The ankle is now somewhat less swollen but impressively multi-coloured. I can more or less walk in a straight line but any kind of physical exercise is still a couple of days off, I think. Oh well, more time to work.
Just wanted to throw up a couple of pictures I took recently. First, [...]
Sometimes, you do really stupid things in the name of enjoyment. At 5-6 in the first set of my tennis game today, I chased a lob back from the net, turned sharply and hit a nice forehand winner into the corner of the ad court. As I did this, I went right over on my [...]
Hold the front page! I am now syndicated. Yay me. Thanks to Michael Scherer and the rest of the Planet Mandriva team (there’s a Planet Mandriva team? That seems scary. Are they like Team Rocket?) for setting up this planet to aggregate the sites of Mandriva-related people. Check it out now, it’s spiffy. Go on.
Eyechart just nearly hit a home run. I nearly fell out of my chair in shock…
So I did go and play tennis again this morning, this time I won, 6-3 7-5. Very nice game. I serve-volleyed every point and chip-charged every return, which is a great play against just about anyone who’s not a very, very good player, even if you’re only an average volleyer. You’ll win 50% or more [...]
Apart from ruminating, I’ve had quite a nice week. I stopped working for Shaw (or rather, was informed by my agency – by email – that I’d stopped working for Shaw. That’s employee relations for you!), so I now have lots more time for things. At Mandriva, we launched the updated Club 2005 LE release, [...]
