Posted Oct 14, 1999
Just been looking at my other journal entries and I don't half whine on about useless things. My apologies to anyone looking at my user page.

Deadlines
Posted Oct 11, 1999
Just posted a thing about dedlines to the Universal Truths forum. It made me think that we are really going to be pushing things at work with the deadlines we've currently got. I mean, my content has to be more-or-less finished this week, which I reckon is fine. However, the site is going live in four weeks, which is extremely doubtful.
The point is, how can a really short deadline be reached more easily than a long one? Is time really curved around space that much, or does it simply expand relativistically and therefore the higher value you give to a future time, the more fluid it becomes?
Does that make any sense? Does it matter?
Still, better get on with things...

Birthday Presents
Posted Aug 17, 1999
It's my mates birthday today and I'm stuck on what to get him. He's constantly out of touch (in more ways than one), especially since he threw his mobile phone into the sea at Weston-Super-Mare, claiming that it was ruining his life. Maybe a pager. Maybe a small cowbell to alert us to his presence. Maybe just a card like normal...

At work in Bristol. Bored, hot and still reeling from a drinking session last night.Trying to get my head round "time management" and organising my desk, but ending up surfing.Perhaps if I shuffle bits of paper from one side of my desk to the other and type something every now and then? Bored...
