Guy Kewney's Diary
News What I don't understand, is how I might have been expected to get into the office over the weekend (assuming I'd been silly enough to try). As a result, when I got in, there was a weepy message from The Vampire, pointing out that he had a busy week...

Holiday Gadgets
Blog Comment It was only for the weekend and it was 30 C so no big jumpers taking up valuable gadget space. I didn't even mention the cameras. I think I need help. Clothes? That's an afterthought.

News The hotel problem in San Francisco over the weekend was easily solved. As a result, I didn't sleep much. You think I'm joking, don't you? No, I don't know how you prove this. In his youth, he was notorious for actually making "nests" for himself in...

ROTM In The Real World.
Blog I spent most of the weekend inside the bowels of my Visual Basic dotNet monstrosity courtesy of the VS2005 IDE debugger. I do not claim to be a dotNet expert especially after this weekend but I'm a heck of a lot closer to that than I was last week.

Guy Kewney's (late) Weekend Diary
News My young friend gave the book back after the weekend. Well, well; I knew it was a hot story, but I didn't realise it was that hot! Stupid, stupid, stupid; checking with Macmillan I find that they just didn't run the software and so didn't know...

News We'll draw a veil over the weekend. When I opened my eyes, they didn't. Actually, it didn't start with that; it started with the unopened mail. I can't. I also noticed that the last column I wrote for MSN.co.uk was highly critical of Microsoft SSL...

Blog Monday 12/05/2003As I'm at the Citrix iForum in Edinburgh later this week, I took myself up to that fair city for the weekend. Perhaps fortunately, the predicted swilling contest between the publishers and some booksellers didn't kick off and I...
