Weeks ago at work we did some training for Microsoft products. As a "reward" for this, we could choose to get some products. I chose myself an MS Bluetooth Mouse. It came today, hurrah! It's nice - but there appear to be some issues I can't work around yet. I'm sure I'll figure them out eventually but at the last attempt... if left too long with no use, the pairing between the bluetooth dongle and the mouse drops. This means that the PC still thinks it's got the mouse connected, but nothing makes the cursor move.

Hmm, just turned off power saving for that USB port... maybe that'll do it.
Anyhow. On to other things.

London City - Control Tower



I had a great time at the tower. Arrived early and was welcomed warmly, spent most of my time there talking to one guy who had only recently graduated from the college and was accrediting on the tower approach the day after I was there (hope it went well!). Learnt lots, saw lots of cool stuff and not-so-cool stuff, found out some good info for the interviews.

After the visit there, I have been in absolutely no doubt whatsoever what it is that I want to do. I _want_ this job. 'nuff said.

Spent the rest of my time in London with the parents. Went to a new Indian "Fusion" buffet on Westbourne Grove (I think) on Monday night which was lovely though very new and had a few things I would suggest to improve it, and went with mum to Gourmet Burger Kitchen (Oh... My... That's not a burger, that's a work of art... that's a skyscraper in meat and bun form) for lunch on Tuesday. I still feel full from that. Then again... mum spent on 2 burgers, 2 drinks, a salad and chips more than I would comfortably spend on 4 or 5 days worth of shopping, so it best had be damn good. And it is.
