Finally a chance to get some work done...
I've got two weeks off starting on the 13th. Since I'm not going anywhere (I was, but unfortunate circumstances intervened) I'll be able to put in some quality time on my personal projects: completing (or seriously advancing) my work on Pocket PC blogging tools, familiarising myself with the Avalon CTP and hopefully having some fun therewith (my eventual goal there is Space Invaders: I know some people don't think that's an appropriate use of the technology but guess what they can kiss), working on my web presence, posting my CV in XAML format (actually I might do that before I go on leave), and doing some work on the use of RSS for a somewhat-smart-client-based alerts system. Also delving into WSE2 (Aiieee, the angle brackets! The angle brackets! They are coming for me!).
That and learning to play “Man Of The World” properly. There's such beautiful guitar work by Peter Green on that song. It's amazing how much feeling can be conveyed in a few relatively simple chords (and the other bits).
