Talking with the heating repair man this morning inspired me to rebalance our radiators. I am never speaking to him again

Wedged the 3 point valve open with some of the kids Trio bricks. Heating is on! Not sure it's a long term solution
Phone call with FOAF heating man identifies '3 port diverter valve' as problem. Just need to sit in a cupboard holding valve open for heat
Kids tell me having no heating in the house reminds them of staying in our caravan. In a good way. Though they were keen to go to school
Inside. Wearing a coat. Swearing at technology I don't understand. Thought I'd be at least 70 before it came to this
Hmm... got the pilot light, but only stays on for a few secs. Interwebs say overheating or we need another new PCB. I say arse :-/
Home to find a broken boiler & no heating. Not sure we can sort a fix tonight, but staying here with kids when will be -6C not ideal :-s
4 people in overalls carefully carrying a pot of dangerous looking stuff across campus. Turns out it's soup. Cutting edge soup mind
Lunch over, so I'm back in my non-Shackleton's chair from where I will stop tweeting irrelevant nonsense (my nonsense will now be relevant)
That partly explains why nobody got my attempted pun on 'Shacketon's Whisky' last night. Partly.

Rather disappointed that at no point in that documentary about Shackleton's whisky did anyone say "I got it at Shackleton's don't you know"
For just one sodding day it would be nice if I could avoid bursting my own bubble :-/
Watching 'Shackleton's Whisky' about the stash his expedition left behind in the Antarctic. Just the essentials then
Letter from alumni office offers sincere apologies for printing incorrect personal details in last one. It's addressed to somebody else :)
Waiting in the wings for a discussion about mobile with folk from Infonet & the JISC elearning team.
Science decodes 'internal voices': http://www.bbc.co.uk/news... < tech to read your thoughts. Facebook working on way to automatically share them
Hmm... despite having a fresh pot of coffee waiting for me on my desk when I got in, seems I'm still unable to construct a sentence
I think my typo "has potential to enrage users" (I meant engage) could actually be more accurate

Read some interesting emails about introversion on the team mailing list today... but nobody seems to be talking about it ;)
