Happy new year.

We didn't have a white Christmas, but I am having a white thesis submission day! Rather appropriate, as I have been looking forward to this moment for a long time. Of course I'm not really finished, in that my thesis is as yet unread, I have to have my viva voce, make corrections and then hopefully be awarded a PhD. But I've handed in a huge stack of paper to the appropriate people, and I'm finished for now.

I had a nice relaxing few days up at my mothers, seeing family and enjoying a lovely Christmas dinner (as always). Since then I've been doing not much at all, mostly playing games. I bought a new PC for gaming as I finished my thesis, and I've mostly been playing Portal (sheer brilliance), Team Fortress 2 (addictive) and a bit of Hellgate: London (shiny). I've still to get into Oblivion and Supreme Commander, and I've not even opened Neverwinter Nights 2...

Now it is back to work. I am still around here for the next three months, after which...?
