Is it just me, or does Autumn seem to be really short this year? The weather we’ve had over the last few days was close to what was expected in Spring. But the weather in Spring seemed to be what Summer should normally like.
Then however, it means that Winter will (proberbly) be quite cold. Colder than normal. Proberly longer as well, just to make up for the good weather we’ve had. I guess the sunshines on credit.
All those animals which hibernate seem to have the right idea. Damn you evolution.

Right now, I’m sitting on a coach to Bletchly Park. That’s the place where the first real computer (Collusus) was developed during WW2. Yes, I’m on a computing trip.
It’s around 9 and the coach is only half full. There’s about 30 people on this trip. Bletchly is also the home of a “computing musieum”, which tries to preserve computers from over 50 years in working order. Should be good, in a nerdy kinda way. If I’m honest with you, I’d be pretty happy to find an old UNIX machine. 
Off topic, I’m typing this on my iPod. Which is pretty neat considering it’s a small, portible device, which comes with spellcheck built in. Kinda makes me want to get an iPhone. But I digress. It’s time to learn about how to crack Enigma codes.
