Definitely Bedtime

Do you like my cool new icon? (Pic -- in my view the best of the hundred or so "Alison being dunked" shots -- was taken by Paul Treadaway.)

I've also put Palm Planetarium on my Clié. I was delighted by it, and immediately nipped out to look at the night sky. Yeah, well. At some point we will be in a field in darkest Lincolnshire, and *then* it will work.

When I was eight or nine, I would have thought this was just about the coolest thing of all time. Even now, people who are that way inclined see this as the killer app for the Palm. (FAQ: "help! My screen is too bright!" Not a normal complaint about Palms).

Mandarins 'r' us

For those of you who have been waiting with bated breath to here the results of my promotion board, I have good news.

I will be joining the ranks of the senior civil service. Just as soon as I find myself a job.

Oh, yes, and I appear to have been drinking for four hours.
