Back to Interruptions
Herself is back in St Georges. She managed to stay out for about twenty hours before she was back in for more observation. The major reason for the re-admittance is that they managed to lose her "sample". Which is understandable until I point out that it was in a five litre container. Five litres. One …
Did I Say Digital Radio?
Blimey, no sooner had I written my previous entry than I came across this story about using software rather than hardware to process radio signals in the Guardian by that fine writer and pipe smoker Ben Hammersley.

Interruptions
There may be a short interruption to our usual service. SWMBO has been checked into St Georges for observation. Nothing drastic, its more a precautionary move at the moment but as she won’t be updating her blog in the near future I may break my rules and start posting baby news here. The first item …
