I'm at Internet World, the conference for suit wearers who get excited about "enterprise CMS solutions" and other nonsense.

Nevertheless, some decent chats about sending email on a large scale with some enthusiastic providers. Off to Reading Hexagon to see Doves.

Doves were superb tonight in Reading. An immense live band. Can't believe that's the first time I've seen them. Lumps in throat throughout.

@mr_mcd I've never seen you and Jimi Goodwin of Doves in the same room. Are you hiding a stunning secret gift and double life?

Champagne, seafood and a hot tub. I'm at the lovely Crab in Chieveley with @lilja. Might stay here I think.

Attention marketing/biz people: when you post a new entry on your blog you are not "writing a blog". It's like nails down a blackboard.

While the cat's away the mice will... do all his chores and settle down for a quiet rogan josh in front of the telly.

On the day the government offers £2K incentive for scrappage of old cars, my mechanic hands me £350 bill for work on my 10 year old Polo.

How not to rebrand: Protx is now SagePay but all of the Protx payment gateway URLs we use have now broken overnight.

The rugby in the Twickenham sun was lovely this afternoon but the stupid football ruined things. Should've just gone straight home.

Suffering Friday lady tunes here in the @wld office

In Recruitment mode... Interviewing two good-sounding Rails developers this afternoon. More later this week too.

Already grumpy from being poorly, I'm unimpressed with having Lady Sovereign interrupt me on Spotify. Go away and leave me with Doves.

9:30 and the server monitoring screen is green. Fingers crossed it stays that way...

The @wld dev team are now settling in to our big new office. I'm filling in as patching monkey.

I got Comply or Die in our #grandnational sweepstake. Pleased with that and rather appropriate given my mood today.
