Worm's World

Sad news yesterday - checked on the fish before going to bed and realised little Isambard was floating at the top of the tank, near the filter in a very dead way. He's now buried in the garden, near the grape vine and if in fact the first one we've lost since moving down here. Since Isimbard and Vince still looked happy and healthy, well as happy as fish can, we decided to buy some more on the way home from lunch. Allow me to introduce ... l-r:- Bertrand, Isambard, Nietzsche , Vince and Pushkin

Happy Halloween!

The Google Wave fairy godmother dropped an invite to the new collaboration thingy the other day and I spent the weekend playing around with it. Joining in on some of lifehackers public waves makes much more sense of it but it's still just a nice toy until other people I know and work with are on it (and even then ins'[t it just another thing to check?). Anyone on Google Wave feel free to Add me:- Wormella @ gmail . com Anyway, spotted this on life hacker and i though it prescient Also very sad at the closing down of geocities - my first ever website was on there, back when there we blocks and streets and themed neighborhoods. I sparked my interest in web design, which led me to study at Staffs in the first place and where everything snowballed into what I do now!

#fb @44pistol Happy Birthday! .... I bet Eric Clapton plays in his home studio in his PJ's on his birthday too...

Last night we had our Staff award Ceremony - while I knew I was up for one award (The Faculty customer service award) I hadn't really realised there was a university wide one I was in the running for... ... which I won!!! And it's made all the hard work of the last year worth it. I'm very proud and I have giant bits of glassware to bling the office up with now! A massive thanks to everyone who nominated me and supported the application!

Oh, and I almost forgot... Be-gone you salty landlubbers! and so on.

I so want these! Also an apology for not updating this in probably ages but work and getting stuff ready for the new term has been all consuming!
