Festival of Science

BA Festival of Science, 3-9 September.

Fantastic. Huge. I didn't realise it included events at the castle, cathedral, museum, library, and various other venues as well as taking over the whole campus plus the research park.

I'll be in the box office, taking bookings, updating database, issuing usernames/passwords, dealing with enquiries and putting things through Worldpay. I'll have to memorise the programme.

Only Monday-Friday, not the weekend, but I don't think I can afford to go to Edinburgh for the Debconf team meet anyway :-/

Newsclips

Quotation of the day (well, I read it today, I'm a bit behind, ok?)

"“These people on the flight have been terrorised into behaving irrationally." ... expect terrorists to ground whole fleets of aircraft just by whispering to each other about the duty free prices"

Read all about it on The Slant.

The summer flit

Today I moved out of the shared house in Norwich. Byebye sauna.
Car-full of stuff. Temporarily homeless after next week (I'm house-sitting until 18/19th).

Cleaning up was hard work, even between 4 of us, but eventually the house was shiny: skirting-boards scrubbed, paintwork touched up, patio weeded. The inspection went well, so we have fingers crossed for return of deposit.

I almost fell asleep on the drive back to Suffolk.
