I've gone from MT 3.35 to MT 4.2. It is a dramatic improvement. Pair handled the upgrade expertly. Once again I am forced to acknowledge their professionalism.
Quick update on what I've been doing recently:
- I've changed around the routers in my house and generally spent ages tracking down bad network behaviour. I think the root of the problem is setting up a phone as a DMZ. I really don't know the exact cause of the problem, but it seems to be solved now.
- I have had my mother to stay. She was very ill in the first half of the year and is still very frail, but much better now. She is very lucky to be alive.
- it's half term, and Tom and Alice are here. Both are getting on with their work rather better than I am getting on with mine.
- I saw my brother and Neil Moffatt in Cardiff over the weekend. I have just read Neil's short story 'Balancing Acts'. Maybe it's just because I feel an empathy with the author, but I found the work really quite good.
The markets continue to tank, and it looks more and more certain that we're falling into a deep recession. This is very worrying.
