Ugh. Babies. No sleep. I was doing Gabriels feeds last night (he mostly breast feeds but when I am not going into work I do my turn with the bottle) he normally needs a couple of feeds but for some reason he was guzzling much more. Still he's a lovely little thing with the sweetest smile.
I am actually quite enjoying working on London at the moment. I can put this down to two things: a) I don't need to commute through London which makes a huge difference and b) when I do venture into London proper its to go to exciting meetings with interesting people. One of my meetings this week was for the Creative Commons with the BBC Creative Archive people, TATE, Cory Doctorow and a number of people working directly with CC. The Creative Archive is essentially the BBC's output made available on line for not for profit use. It will be licensed in such away that the people of Great Britain will be able to not only watch it but remix and re-use it in ways that can only be speculated about at present. We are hoping that the British Libraries web archive will be just as exciting. The creative commons license is a very good thing - if you make creative content available on-line for free then you should give it a good look.
Things are going well at work, I'm hoping to open up the programme server to the world in general in the next month so you will be able to read my work blog (which I post to slightly, but only slightly, more frequently than this one). The side project I alluded to seems to be pulling its weight as well and my cause a apple powerbook and some furniture to arrive in my life very soon all being well.
More songs have seemed to creep into my listening this month: in particular Tom Waits: Real Gone, Bonnie 'prince' Bille: I see a darkness , Xiu Xiu: Fabulous Muscles, Plastikman: Closer , Joy Division , Nick Cave: abattoir blues
Oh- I've broken the comments at the moment. The level of comment spam was getting intolerable. I am working towards another version of the site with all my music and poems back up but other things are taking priority as you might imagine.
