To be honest, I feel a bit bad about my blog at the moment; the new working regime is playing havoc with me adding anything interesting here right now (yes, you at the back, I know it wasn’t all that great beforehand). I don’t have many amusing anecdotes; my journey into work consists of waiting for the bus, getting on the bus and trying not to embarrass myself in front of the rather cute girl who invariably sitting at the front, fall asleep until it’s time to get off, and then into work.

While I haven't gone down to the level of The IT Crowd, I normally fix at least one computer each week by turning off and on.

Then, on the way back, it's pretty much the same process, although at the moment instead of sleeping, I'm reading a biography of Lyndon B. Johnson (part 2 of the series I started in 2003, Laura!). Exciting times.

So, er, sorry. You do have Google search now, so you can find happier times. And don't forget I'm off to America at the end of March, which normally means things get a teensy bit more exciting. Until then, well, I hope you can bear with me…

The IRS have sent me this year’s tax forms. So kind of them. I didn’t make any money in America this year, lads! Nor last year! You can stop!

Q But you've got like a -- you've got a situation room here. You've got people who monitor stuff. It's impossible to find out -- I mean, the vice president knew immediately, "Oh, no! I've shot somebody accidentally," and it takes 24 hours --

Also, if Labour keep up their insane plans to saddle this country with a pointless identity card system, I'm voting Tory at the next election (only, and only if they make it an electoral promise to dismantle it if the Lords can't stop them). I'll feel like scum, but it has to be done.

Today, I hate Microsoft. But love Linux geeks for creating a boot CD that can reset Windows 2000 Administrator accounts.

For others: Tom, I think the Google addition shouldn't be too hard. I'll try and add it at the weekend, where I also phone Phil, finally reply to Richard in the latest instalment in the current email debate of "Mrs Thatcher: Anti-Christ or just plain Evil?, continue writing Ian's Great Doomed Graphic Novel Idea of 2006 (Reborn Because of Having Money Again).

I don't expect to actually do it all…
