Warwick

So, I was down in Warwick for a conference at the end of last week. I do confess, I didn't really know where Warwick was! Not far from Coventry, which in turn is not far from Birmingham it would seem.

Translation UK 2009 was the conference. Quite interesting really, the highlight (terrifying moment) was me giving a 12 min presentation. I think it went OK, I felt quite nervous, though since there was probably about 150 people there, I think that's fair enough. Especially given that some of them have been doing this kind of work for far longer than me.

Abi's birthday tomorrow, I hope she has a good day. She'll only be in work for a few hours, and is having lunch with a friend, so it can't be all bad. Then we're going out for dinner in the evening. Funny how I seem to get more excited by Abi's birthday and giving her presents now, rather than my birthday and getting presents! Am I getting old, is this one of the lesser known consequences of old age?

Mmm trying to install Age of Empires III on Abi's PC and it just came up with and error message! Followed by the obigatory error box with "OK" as the only option to click, when it quite clearly isn't OK.

Maybe I should go and concentrate on that now!!
