My mobile phone is packing up. I've got to get a new one, preferably one with those mp3 ring tones instead of the tinny bleepy ones. One of the guys in the office has the sound of cows mooing. The newer phones seem to emit less radiation too, so if I can't afford a newer model I guess I may have to get some of these anti-radiation pants!

I'm very glad that nothing really horrific happened on the anniversary of 9-11. A few people did do some pretty silly things though!

It's the start of another new year!

First day

Today was my first day at work and by and large it went well. Got my own desk, nice computer and some interesting work! The guys are cool too, including my supervisor. I think I'm going to like it there.

On a random tangent, filling out my bank details reminded me of this story.

Am watching the test match... how depressing. I'm doing far better than England on this little online cricket game and competition.

Rob and Sarah's Wedding

Rob and Sarah got married at StAG in Cambridge yesterday. It was fantastic. Rob looked like the most chuffed bloke on the planet and Sarah looked very pretty indeed. The wedding, reception, speeches, ceilidh and food were all brilliant... but maybe not some people's dancing... Anyway, many congratulations! The photos are here.

HIFU

Went up to Oxford yesterday to see a demo of the pioneering cancer treatment called HIFU which my godfather is working on. It's all very exciting. Sky News have covered it a little. The Chinese have been treating patients already and clinical trials are about to begin here in the UK. The machine pretty much "cooks" tumours with ultrasound. Here's a better explanation.
