Ok, how’s it going? Well, the contract is quite straight-forward – I have to design and lead the team developing a web service broker collecting information from external systems. There is the usual stuff of concurrency, request queuing, XSLT transformations, etc. This isn’t dissimilar to some of the integration and communications work that I’ve been involved with recently, so I’m quite buoyant about being able to do a good job.
Living in a house has been a bit strange, since I have to do the washing up!!!
Eating within my calorie budget hasn’t been a challenge, so the diet is still on track – it helps that the cupboards are almost empty so I only have what I bought with me to eat.
Exercise has been more awkward – I have managed one run, one weight lifting session and one swim in four days, tomorrow I will manage another swim making it a better hit rate, but it is still under what I have been doing lately.
I must order broadband for this house, quickly checking email and a couple of websites that I like to keep an eye on via dial-up in a right pain (and it isn’t a quick check by the time the pages crawl in – gmail is amazingly unusable on dial-up)
