Ooops. I got so caught up in working out the chapter structure for The Eliza Effect that I forgot to post yesterday's picture. And whilst I'm about it, here's today's.

The good news is- I don't have to stay over in Leicester, and I'm not working there tomorrow.
The bad news is- now I'll have to go back again next week. And the project is an extra week behind schedule.
I'm sure Leicester is a nice place once you get to know it, and I do like a little bit of post- industrial decay, but it's just a bit too run down.
Anyway- today's pic.

Yesterday's pic, and today's.
I now have a bed! No more sleeping on the floor. And I have a futon in the living room, so I can sit properly when I'm on the PS2. It's beginning to resemble a real house in here, now I've just got to find storage space for everything.
It's not all good news though, tomorrow I'm off to Leicester for two days.

Today's pic.
I've been feeling knackered the last few days. Not ill, just permanently tired. I figured it might be down to not drinking enough water (2 litres of liquid a day!) and got a bottle of water for work. I do feel a bit better than yesterday. I just have to remember to maintain the water intake.

I did a bit of reading whilst I was away-
Tear Gas and Ticket Touts All about a guy's attempts to see England play in teh World Cup. I'm not really interested in football, and I just can't see how anyone can get so worked up about it, but the tales of Police prejudice and witch-hunting newspapers struck a chord.
White Spider The author of Seven Years in Tibet was also part of the first team to climb the North Face of the Eiger. Here he relates the history of all the attempts on the face up until 1965. A catalogue of endurance and disaster, including some horrendous deaths- those who fell off the cliff were the lucky ones. Slightly stilted, possibly in the translation, and heavy on the facts, but gripping none the less.
Non-Stop A small band dares to travel out of their village and into their claustrophobic world, where if you walk for several days in a straight line you'll get back to where you started, to discover its secrets.
I'm currently reading Look to Windward.

Pictures for the 23rd and, seeing as it's almost midnight, 24th of January.
My Internet connection's been playing up, and my printer. Bad technology day.

Yesterday's pic, and today's.
I'm stuck in append hell, trying to get data off a server in another part of the country and wondering why 95% of the records won't write to my table.
Gah!

Today's pic.
I'm scanning in the layouts I did for Bulletproof Poets, and should be posting them soon.
Now that Ten Years Asleep is finished, and because it's a new year and all that, I think a site redesign is in the offing. I quite like the current layout, so the changes shouldn't be too drastic, just colour scheme and stuff.

Yesterday's pic and today's.
State of Play
I've got nearly a hundred photos being developed today, some of which will become pictures of the day.
I started work on The Eliza Effect, my next novel, yesterday. I'm going to start publishing bits of it in February. It's about computing and my experiences of doing IT for a corporate department that doesn't know how to do IT (character assassination alert!). The chapters are going to be arranged in jokey little modules, like functions and subroutines.
Whilst I was in France I got layouts for the first half of Ballad of the Bulletproof Poet done (now simply Bulletproof Poets). I'm going to start scanning them in and working on them, posting the pages as a work in progress to show how a page comes together, and publishing the finished item in digital and dead tree versions by Easter. Then maybe I'll take it to the San Diego comic convention in August.
And finally, for now, I'm generating a second novel from the material in Ten Years Asleep, which could be coming out at the same time as Bulletproof Poets.
Busy, busy.
