It is the middle of a heatwave and not much is happening.  I must admit while I enjoy warm weather and long evenings, I am not so keen on the extreme heat.  I find that it tires me and leaves me with not much energy, meaning a lot doesn't happen. 

Despite the heat, it was the CS reunion on Saturday.  CS being the HWU Computer Science class of 2004.  It was a long afternoon out in the sun with a few beers and a bit of geeky chat.  We are, after all, Computer Science graduates.   There was a football and a Frisbee but it was too hot for that, so the beers and the chat won out.  Although the beers soon got to the warm stage.  After that it was on to Zizzi's at the start of the Canal for a pretty decent dinner and then on to the Chanter (formerly the Hogshead) for a few further drinks.   It was a great night in the end, good to catch up with a lot of folk.

I thought I might take a minute to mention what I was up to at work.  My work is currently 2-fold.  My role in continually updating the SK Chase system, is steadily growing.  Following last month's launch of a fuller and inevitably more complex checkout and payment process, the next challenge is to make the system fully capable of handling multiple currencies.
