World HQ Another cold day
10.57
World HQ.
Another cold day, although the freezing mist of three has lifted.
Morning stuff at World HQ: moving the working base from one room to
another. Actually, from two rooms to a third. The front downstairs
office, with a fabbo view of Bredonborough Abbey’s spire & a bow
window onto the Market Place, is a good place to read, e-mail &
diarise. It is not ideal for hardware activities: printing, scanning,
dual computers, music work. The key encourager for changing space is
the arrival of builders & upcoming building work.
Office No. 2 is to be organised…
…with hardware brought up from the Kitchen…
Office No. 4 is waiting for bookshelves, but does have exactly the radiator I asked not to be installed…
…and the Bathroom is also waiting for, among other items, a bath…
11.25 Office No. 2 is underway!
Biff’s pix from the recent US Soundscapes tour are moving from one
hard-drive to another on the Powerbook 15”, diarising is underway on
the 17”, printer & snanner are nestling on the worktable next to
me; and all surrounded by mess. But, a good mess.
The major item today is the launch of the new DGM Website. This has
been delayed, firstly, by the size of technical challenge; secondly,
hacking; thirdly, getting the credit card fulfilment in place;
fourthly, by the size of the challenge. Congratulations & thanks to
Eric, Sid, Hugh, Toby, Amy & David.
Online downloading of the DGM archive is now available.
16.25 Mark the Builder is putting paint samples on
walls. He has been working outside today and Mark is a very cold
builder.
Chris Stein called from London: I am invited to the
Blondie show at the Royal Albert Hall this Wednesday, and even welcome
to sit-in. I’d love to do this, but we agree it would be problematic:
the band use in-ear monitors, so the guest guitarist wouldn’t hear much
of anything. In honour of the call & old friends…
