And we get:-

Maybe I should not have done this at work 
This has been rumoured for a long time. Now it is here. Google have created their own web browser. Unfortunately it is only for Windows at the moment, but I understand that it will eventually be available for Linux.
In the mean time I plan on using it at work.
First impressions are that it is very fast. Certainly on Google pages such as Gmail and Google Maps. Even Openstreetmap seems very smooth.
As it is Open Source, I hope that it has the desired intention of moving the whole browser world forward. The next question is, how long before I start to see Google Chrome appear in the logs of my web server?
At work, we have just had a Big Ass Fan fitted. When the controls are set to the heart of the sun, you really have to hold onto your syrup.
I think I have just used sed for the first time. Well the first time where I have decided what the problem is and that the solution requires sed, and then using it.
This is a big deal for me. I have been aware of sed, and awk for a log time. I have even used them either when advised by others or as part of scripts that I have run (but not written).
This time, however, I can say it is all my own work. I have some data at work that I need to graph. There is too much to simply load into a spreadsheet, so I have to munge it a bit before I can use it. A simple perl program does that for me, and outputs a csv file that I can quickly load into a spreadsheet and make a graph. Once it I am happy that the data is correct, I then use Gnuplot to generate my final graphs. The problem is that gnuplot likes to have tab separated values, not comma separated. Here comes sed to the rescue.
sed 's/,/\t/g' data.csv >data.txt
Now that may not exactly be rocket science, but I very nearly wrote my own perl program to do that for me.
Through my work, I have come to know Simon Brown. He comes and helps with some aspects of our computer systems. Potentially fairly dull. However, I always enjoy talking to him about his main interest which is Diving. I remember a few years back he was telling me how he wanted to buy a new underwater camera. Now he has that camera, and is enjoying a second career selling the pictures.
Due to changes in where I work, I may not see much of Simon in the future, so I thought that I would write this mainly as a reminder to myself. However, if anybody has need of an underwater photographer, I am sure Simon would be interested, for the right price
Well not me, but the section of the company that I work for has. Or should I say Disposed
I can’t say I am overjoyed by the prospect. For the last few years McMurdo has provided a decent working environment mainly due to the people that are there. Once this sale goes through, I will be the only person from the engineering department transferring with the business and will therefore be the sole engineer.
If anybody wants a mechanical engineer to be part of their team, I may very well be interested
