I'm on holiday next week, in Newcastle, visiting my Mother. I'm taking my two girls, and my sister is taking her two girls.
Four small girls, between the ages of 2½ and 6½. Should be nice and quiet. ;-)
I'll be on the 'net now and again - I've promised to help my mum put a web site together. But probably not often, so Small Values will be quiet, which will probably be a relief to the lot of you.
Later...
Is Jail Babes some kind of a joke? It must be, surely?

Barking, I say. Moon Song.

In Open Source Flying, Matthew Langham contends that the way the air travel industry has changed over the years may be a good model for the way the IT industry is changing.
In the old days, if you wanted to fly, you went to your national carrier and payed whatever they demanded, and that was that. Just as now, 99% of businesses go to one of the big vendors (Microsoft, IBM, Sun, etc.) for their software.
These days, there are a number of low cost carriers fighting over you. The national carriers are still there, offering high price, high standard, high convenience travel, but they no longer own the skies.
Will the big vendors lose out? I can't say I see any sign of it yet, but it would be nice if he were correct. ;-)

Eyeing a post-Hubble Universe. Sad.

My sister bought me some new, trendy (I gather) jeans for my birthday. I asked number-one-daughter Freja what she thought.
"They are nice jeans, Daddy, but they don't suit you," she said. She's not aware of the phrase mutton dressed as lamb, but if she had have been, I suspect that she would have used it.
Don't ask a child what they think unless you are prepared for the truth. They won't lie to save your feelings. ;-)
NullBlogException posted a list of Meetings and events in London.
I think I'll give one or more of these a bash. The Python booze-ups just ain't happening.
