SVG: SVG is cool and it will be great when it's supported more in browsers. When cleaning out my loft I found all my original PhD notes including a paper I wrote in 1994 that suggested that to allow feasible remote teleoperation of our automated telescope we'd need an open-standards native vector display ability in browsers. I was using the early gd library to do something similar and even submitted patches to the project to do a vector langauge (but never got included). 7 years on and we're nearly there.

TiVo: My "void if removed" sticker peeled off without falling to bits and is now safely stored away whilst I get ready to upgrade my TiVo. I'm going to be without cable/satellite for a week or two at least when I move so I want to have a couple of hundred hours of TV stored up. Now to find some cheap 80Gb drives :)

XML and PHP: My attempt to get my stylesheet to nicely output something that PHP could then parse was foiled as php wants to see <?php blah; ?> but thats not valid XML; libxslt correctly outputs <?php blah; > which PHP doesn't then like. Can't win :)

Human body: In the last year or so I've been relatively bug-free. Now I'm working from home all day and not come into contact with another human for nearly a week I catch a cold. How did that happen? Doh.
