I’ve now had a full week at my new job as the web architect at The School of Physics within The University of Edinburgh.

As yet, I’ve not managed to do any practical work with any of the web sites that I’ll be involved with (which includes the EPCC) as it’s been a period of settling in, getting to know the various people that I’ll be working with, and digging my way about the htdocs and cgi-bin directories of the web servers that I’ll be working with.

So far so good.

I’ve finally bitten the bullet (again) and upgraded to the latest version of WordPress (again). This time it’s version 2.0.2.

Yesterday I decided to set up a new Paypal account as my last one was registered under my (now defunct) limited company, thus rendered useless as Paypal doesn’t allow you to downgrade an account from a business one to a personal one. There were a few reasons for this, but one of the main ones was so that I could get Mint.

An interesting webcast lecture by Steve Jones from The Royal Society just now, although he did seem rather non-commital (perhaps for fear of offending some high-ranking god botherer) on the whole topic of creationism/intelligent design.

It doesn’t seem that The Royal Society itself is worried about this, after putting out a statement on creationism and ID.

It’s good to see that skepticism is still alive and well.

2 hours, 27 minutes to go…
