Another late shift today followed a busy weekend attending an evening wedding reception on Friday and a friend’s 40th birthday party in Newcastle on Saturday night, so that closing part of the Recovery Design series might have to wait for a day or two. I’m also in a growing panic about next Tuesday’s presentations as I’ve not left myself enough time for all of the improvements I’d had in mind. I could do the presentations tomorrow if I had to, but I plan to work my backside off this week at nights to get them closer to my intentions. Next weekend’s going to be taken up with more unavoidable social events, including people sleeping in my server room 🙁<\/p>\n
Here is my current plan for next week but it’ll probably change. It usually does.<\/p>\n
