Musings on a world I am no longer sure about

Shitty trains, buses and tubes

Tuesday July 15th, 2003 at 22:05pm

7:58 - On the train again Bit of a rush getting here...I should know better than to write code in the mornings, it always distracts me : ) Nearly finished the code for freakcity...just got to add all this to the database, so that there’s at least one blog online : D Ooh. Shouty drama then, as someone tried to get on the train whilst it was moving...muppets. Today I get to look forward to meetings, meetings and more meetings. And tonight I get to look forward to taking my bike to be fixed. The excitement of it all! Keep trying to think up better and better RegExps for FC but there’s little point in that on the train...writing them in Graffiti is practically impossible (for me, at any rate ; ) “When it’s fall in New York, the air smells as if someone’s been frying goats in it, and if you’re keen to breathe, the best plan is to open a window and stick your head in a building” Finished God Emperor...it’s soo sad...Think I should probably find the next one...Started on Mostly Harmless...I’ll miss Douglas Adams’ wit : ( 17:50 - It’s gorgeous weather. Absolutely stunning. No wind in sight. So of course the whole train network is broke. And the train, which did eventually turn up has broken too. So I’m stood on a platform next to it, waiting to see if they can mend it before I melt. 22:00 - The train was fucked, so we had to get another one. The other one didn’t go to London Bridge so I had to change at E Croydon for another one. Only all the trains were fucked by this point, meaning the train I needed was delayed by 30 minutes - having got to London Bridge, I then (as usual) got the tube to Bank, and got out just in time to hear the klaxons wailing and a voice telling us to evacuate the station - I jumped on the nearest tube (back to London Bridge) and then attempted the Jubilee Line, which was apparently bored of the correct speed and wanted to slow down some so it could play with the ickle meeces on the track. Or something. So all in all, it took me 3 hours to get home. I really /_really_/ need to start working from home! So I think I’ll finish my day by finishing off the blog code so everyone else can read this!
