Welcome to Rob Knight's personal web site
This site contains my various outpourings across a variety of media sources, as well as other people's stuff that I've liked. It also hosts a (very) occasional blog and assorted pages detailing presentations I've given, a brief bio, some social networking stuff and a contact form.
I'm officially Twitter user No 554 in United Kingdom! http://mans.appspot.com/id... Check out Your Number at http://mans.appspot.com #fun #United Kingdom

Finally ditching Firefox for Chrome - when 4GB of RAM isn't enough, something has to go

Immensely busy for the next few weeks. Looking forward to when I can relax, put my feet up and do something fun, like learning Scala

The increasing awfulness of the ads is pushing me towards buying a Spotify subscription. Can't work out if this is a good thing or not.

This pod-based office layout is confusing. Would make an awesome Counter-Strike map though.
#
Doing a migration on a site with a 19,000-line CSS file. I'm fairly sure there's a copy of War and Peace near the footer link hover rules
#
Tethered phone connection reminding me of modem use. Spotify makes everything else go slow, just like Napster did 10 years ago.
#
The last four buses have sailed past without stopping. Perhaps I should walk?

On the train back down to London, taking advantage of the cheap upgrades to first class

Once again, I'm struck by how little I'll miss the mainstream media when it's gone
#
Packing and getting ready to be spending a fair bit of time in London in the next few months

Business bank account set up - nearly all set to be my own boss (well, ok, I'm about to start working as a contractor, but I can pretend)
#
Pondering whether to give up on Twitter and try blogging again. Real-time communication might be too time-consuming. Am I wrong?
