nearly midnight

It’s quite late tonight. Once again at work. I better catch the tube home now.

I don’t know why, but today I am a bit sad.

New book

I bought a new book today. Academic books are so much cheaper here then in Australia.

The Four Pillars of Geometry

something fangled

I’m really excited about my current project. It’s super interesting. Not at all trivial and potentially very useful. I’m playing with things like Thrift, HBase/Hadoop, Postgresql, Skytools. I’ll be gluing things in Python, with a touch of Java to watch what happens to HBase.

I’ve never programmed in Python before and I’m loving it. It truely is fun.

Urg

I need to get up earlier. I keep having to skip breakfast and it makes it hard to think.

In other news I bought another book.
