Matt's Weblog

It looks like I've been volunteered for the greeting committee at St. Paul's. I'm not really sure how it happened. I got a phone from Dot the other week asking if I would be happy to help with something fairly innocuous like handing out leaflets or saying hello at the door.

I now find myself an official greeter for the evening services. Given my fantastic memory for names and faces, it might be something of a challenge.

I also agreed to round up helpers for the occasional 'welcome to the church' lunches they occasionally have. At least with those I have a list of people to work through & don't have to try & do it by memory!

Well, I've resigned from DrkW and have accepted a job at Barclays Capital in Canary wharf. Start date is 10th November so I've got a few weeks of hanging around doing not a lot at work. On the plus side, I've got a week off work before I have to start. On the negative side, I've just had a phone all from the new boss suggesting some reading for before I join!

The car & pc are, of course, due to getting a pay rise so I'm not really in a position to complain. My bogging is now being done on a Viewsonic V1100 tablet PC. Seems ok so far. However the built in wireless adaptor is pretty useless. The signal strength drops off to zero as soon as there is a wall is the way. I've plugged is my Netgear Pcmcia card & currently have a signal strength of 86% instead of Zero
