Well in brief, I’m fine, work is better than fine and the house is fine (including my housemates).
It’s now a month since I moved down from Edinburgh… and I’m missing it and everyone there. I missed not being involved in all the Freshers stuff, especially Tech Sunday Hogg!! 
I had a bit of a bad night on Tuesday ‘cos I burnt myself quite badly on a plate and had to spend the remainder of the evening sitting there with a bag of frozen vegetables on my hand feeling miserable.
Work is in fact going well. At the moment I’m entirely free to talk about the project I’m working on… as it’s all public anyway. I’m part of the Web Services development group at Hursley, specifically working the WS-Addressing standard (well it will be a standard). At the moment I’m doing some Defect/Feature work and I’ll be transitioning into working on interop and compliance testing for the W3C standard (which I’m now on the working group for).
As an aside I was in on a Round Table with an Exec. this week about the future on internet technologies, and it was really encouraging to hear what IBM is thinking.
The house probably requires more description to do it justice… and I don’t have much of a chance to do that now. The one thing that’s annying me is that there’s no phone line yet, hence no internet. More than just meaning that I can’t use this fabulous internet thing to keep in touch (which is really poking a hole in my resolution to keep in touch with people. Sorry), it’s also meaning that I can’t take part in the phone conferences for the W3C that are at night when I really don’t want to be in the office. Grr.
