One of my tasks this week is to look at all the other exhibitors at an event we're attending and looking for potential customers. Mostly boring stuff, where they use so much corporate rubbish, it's hard to actually work out what they do/sell, but then there's odd stuff like this -

That's nicely done, though I still wouldn't want even a temporary tattoo.

It could lead to some rather creative tattoos on drunken, sleeping mates.

Needs a long term centralised reporting and analytics function. So that 12 months after release the manufacturers can tell everyone how many of the created tattoos were dicks.

After overhearing a conversation in the office recommending it and having a free evening, I went to the Oxford Playhouse last night to watch 'Pink Mist'. It wasn't quite what I expected, but I'm very glad I got to see it.

It's about three lads from Bristol who join the army and go to Afghanistan, taking in their background, their experiences of the war itself, and the aftermath back home. We're still trying to make sense of the last 15 years or so, and we're likely to see more plays, books, and films covering similar ground. In 'Pink Mist', the story is told in verse on a spartan set with dance and a lot of dub step as the narrators flit between home and war. As such, not something I'd normally go to see, and I was unaware of its approach when I booked. It's all the better because of it, and as a result is one of the most intense things I've seen on stage for a very, very long time. When the stage lights went down for the interval, there was an extremely heavy silence from the audience before a cathartic round of applause. I hadn't been planning on drinking last night but had to get a beer just to take the edge off what I'd just witnessed, knowing there was a second act. At particular moments I did get some dust in my eyes too.

The play is currently touring so if it comes your way I recommend going to see it.

Guardian review of the original production.

I made a quick link bookmark thing to version (5.)3.0 of Panopto for Mac the other day. Got a little tinge of excitement when I glanced at the menu bar and saw "Pan Mac 3.0" till I remembered what it actually was.

Because you not asleep.

Alternatively:
Because of the day I can go to the gym and get back to you on the next day or so to make it a bit more than a few days ago and I have been looking for a new job in the future and the future of the day I can go to the gym.

In Milton Keynes to see the Oxford City Stars play away. The rink here is far more impressive and modern than Oxpens. They even have plastic screening rather than nets! This is just like switching from a youth hostel to a Travelodge.

Birmingham, today. Lovely start to the week. A sales meeting where we talk about The Number and what we are going to do to make The Number better. As I am not bonused on The Number (not at all, in fact), it is all a bit immaterial to me. Hopefully, I'll be back so MrsA can attend the charity meeting. Still, I am sat by myself on the train, as my boss reserves a seat and I never do (for this reason), and I cannot be doing (northern phrase, MaliA, watch it) with the upbeat demeanour of one of my more high end account managers (the account, not the manager) this early. I have less than 50℅ charge on my phone, and the Kindle (reading Neuromancer again, so I can then get to Count Zero, then Overdrive) is running out. Monday, monday, monday.

I was sniggering away at the 'Bugle' on the train this morning and the lady in the seat in front of me kept on turning round and giving me black looks. Forgive me for being merry on a Monday.

No, it might be different every time. I'm submitting my ethical clearance form for my final project. I'm just not sure how I aught to start the email.
