Yesterday was a little more productive. Finally got round to starting merging irssi-text and irssi-snapshot into a irssi package. Need to do silly little things like putting files into the right packages, and then I can start merging some of the patches from 0.8.9-9.

Finland appears to be playing havoc with my hayfever. Typically I forgot to being anything and the chemist was shut. A very nice lady answered my plea for an anti-hystamine, but I don't think it completely prevented me feeling like crap. Also woke up to find that I'm being eaten alive by mosquitos. Bastards. Weather should be 25C today, so a few degrees lower than the last two days, but higher humidity. I was expecting hot weather, but this is silly

“But there will be huge civil liberties questions because you will have to accept that people will see you walking round semi-naked.”

Mr Stringer said there were various techniques for protecting people’s privacy.

“We can solve the modesty issue by overlaying the body with graphics except for the area which causes concern.

“The computer can also be set only to show those people who are carrying something suspicious.”

Eh?

Not too much done yesterday. Mostly bitching about the temperature and faffing on irc. Last night was mostly spent drinking beer and plotting world domination.

Scott, Phil and Vince do not look happy this morning.

I'm in Helsinki. This is good.

I'm awake. This is not so good

Left Laura's flat yesterday at 1pm and proceeded to visit pretty much every bomb site via the northern line, to drop her off at Euston so she could return to her parents and then on to Paddington by bus to meet Robot101. Rather surprisingly we managed to meet up without too much hanging around and then catch the slightly slower, but much cheaper Heathrow Connect. The train is on the departures board as being to "Hayes & Harlington. Also stops at Heathrow." despite heathrow being beyond Hayes. It might as well have added "but don't tell any one". I suspect Heathrow Express might have words if they advertised going to Heathrow too much. I really don't think it is worth paying 14.00GBP over 9.50GBP for the ten minutes less it takes for the non-stop service.

Met up with various other people at Heathrow consisting of Scott James Remnant, Steve McIntyre, Rob Taylor, Phil Hands and Simon Kelley. Flight delayed by 25 minutes, although it was about 18:40 befre we actually took off. Arrived in Helsinki around midnight, only to find it doing some impression of dusk. Surprised to be met by Jesus and other locals so we didn't need to work out the busses, even though various people had been organised enough to print out the lovely photographic guide to HUT.

It's now 8am localtime so time for breakfast. It has no right being this bright, this early in the morning.
