Week 36 - Monday 31/07/00

A none eventful pair of flights out to Prague, if expensive. A slight delay in arriving but not much.  I like Prague.  A conference call is run, we define the agenda, and we schedule for each Tuesday, as Mondays are a problem! Too true.  Fall asleep watching the South Park movie, tres funny!

Week 35 - Wednesday 26/07/00

Things are looking worse for the project. One of the three will be late. I have to investigate all the options and get all my facts ready before I announce the bad news.  I was asked today, to have a demonstration on Monday of DTH, I asked if I could smoke what he was on. The date is still in the air until I know when the circuits can be delivered and then start co-ordinating all the parties! Too little time.

Week 35 - Tuesday 25/07/00

The day Concord died.
Tragic events in Paris when Concord crashed killing 109 German tourists and crew on board, and amazingly only 4 on the ground. I suspect the pilot steered the plane away from the hotel. Still it is lucky that only 4 on the ground were killed.</font>  Trying to sort out the DTH project. So much depends upon this and we have only 1 month to launch and little has been done. A major miracle will be required.

Week 34 - Saturday 22/07/00& Sunday 23/07/00

Sunday Arrive at airport (Birmingham) to collect tickets. Oh the Amsterdam flight is delayed, We will send you via Frankfurt (rapid key presses), that will get you in 5 minutes earlier. Oh, a slight problem, that flight is also delayed, and the connection will be too short. At franfurt you can travel miles, and a short transfer is not what you need]. Well we have a Copenhagen flight, but you will not get in until quite late (20:30), that will do I will take it as I have never been to a Scandinavian country!  A nice pleasant flight with BA, drinking champagne all the way and a 10 landing. I seek the transfer desk, I like this airport, all wood flooring, very nice. I check in, there is a 50 minute delay. Never mind, off to the lounge with more chance's to taste Danish beer!    Continues....

Collected at 02:25 local time for our short trip to the airport. A delay. I am not supprised.  "Back to Life Back to reality"  Log on. e-mail will take 135 minutes to download, I was informed by Lotus Notes. Thankfully, this is inaccurate, it only takes 2 hours!!!!  Start finding out about all the problems that I now have to fix for having two weeks enjoyment in the sun.  Later I will evaluate if they are worth the two weeks off, or will I need more rest! Is is not always the case!  I am knackered! Have a couple of hours. Cut the grass so I can fill my wheelie bin full of very long grass.  Receive a call, can I be in Hungary on Sunday for a meeting in the morning, well I was planning on travelling later but I will investigate the options.
