My year is driven by odd, out-of-sync calendars.
The syncopated rhythm of family birthdays, anniversaries, model railway shows, committee meetings, parades, and conferences.
This was another conference week. and an odd one, because for the first time in the 30 years that I can remember going to it, the weather was dreadful in London.
Which is rather like the ExCel Centre where it is held. At least the Elizabeth line has made it more accessible, but visiting still involves walking miles and struggling to find food and drink without suffering massive queues, dreadful acoustics, and hotel prices that are incredible.
At least I no longer have to go to the accountancy show held next door.
Of course, there is a plus side. I got to meet lots of people, many from outside the UK, whom I rarely see. Some of them even said nice things about me.
A very real positive is that we are relaunching the old IT industry podcast I used to co-host, with 33k listeners per episode. Which is about a thousand times wider than my average post here.
And I ended the week by learning I'd passed an exam I hated taking.
Anyway, here are some photos.
