I've been working on a paper for a conference at the Clifford Chance Centre for the Management of Professional Service Firms. The paper is due in the next couple of weeks and progress is pretty good (so far).
I do a lot of work by remote access to my computer at the University. Alas, I forgot that today, the Business School building is having its power turned off so essential work can be done on the 'live side' of the mains circuit.
Now, suddenly, I find myself unable to access my computer at University (and all my notes). Oy vey!
So, I guess, I'll jsut have to do some writing in long hand...

My cast came off today. What a relief. Now for physio ...
I went ice skating with my brother and his children (Mac, Oscar, and Stevie). The rink (Paradice at Botnay Downs), looked pretty nice and I decided to upgrade to 'Platinum' skates. Alas, they only do 'Platinum' for hockey skates, and I'm a figure-skating sort of a guy. So, I ended up with a very average pair or rental skates.
Anyway, to cut to the chase, so to speak, I took a tumble and ended up with my left arm in plaster. It's only a small break so I should be out of the cast in three weeks time -- and I'm counting the days already. Having an arm in a cast is no fun at all.
Bill was highly amused by it all. He has taken some pictures and I'll post them if he ever sends them to me.
Actaully, I thought I had just jarred the joint, so I kept skating for about an hour. It was only when I got into the car and tried to change gear that I said "that hurt".
So, Ascot Hospital was the nearest A&E. What a long wait. Wait to see a nurse. Wait to see the doctor. Wait to see the radiologist. Wait to see the doctor (again). Wait to get plastered. All in all, I was there for over three hours.
Well I'm making some progress on writing more here. I'm now using ScribeFire as my publishing tool. Hopefully, the fact that it is easier to 'write' will encourage me to do more writing.
I chose ScribeFire because it is often mentioned when Zotero is mentioned.
It actually took me several attempts to get ScribeFire to work. What I didn't realize was that Movable Type actually has a separate password that is used for remote (xmlrpc) access.
