1. It has been a while since the work was as busy as now. I am doing about 20 systems at once. I work as a database programmer in one of the UK Universities, looking after University's bigger systems (they are mostly made by other companies) and writing some smaller ones. I love the job , I always have, I am one of these lucky people who "find the job you love and you'll never work a day in your life". I work from home and from office, and the margins are blurred sometimes. On the plus/minus side I am almost always close to a computer, unless I eat, sleep, do shopping, figure skate, drive, jog, or perform any other non-information related activity. And of course, I wear glasses.

2. I have checked spoilers for the episode 12 of "Cinderella's sister" and also watched the episode 11 with subs and I can't express how much I am loving the drama.( spoilers ) For anyone interested, here is the ending of the episode 12 on youtube, uploaded by Shirley: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8bCLY-snCA . And here is a fabulous shippy scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E1ha6N0m5Ik.

3. I have watched the 2nd episode of "Worlds Within", and I am in absolute love with Hyun Bin's character. If fact, I am in love with everyone in this drama, but the lead lady. Do you need an example of immature, "I think everyone should just fall at my feet because I am so cute", girl? This is Joo Joon Young , now (when she is almost 30) and in the flashbacks, exactly the type of girl that I try to politely avoid in RL. I hope her layers will be peeled off too.

4. I have watched some more episodes of "Queen Seon Deok" (I m on episode 33 now) . I am all about the older guys at the moment, Munno and Chil Sook (he is played by the same actor who played the bandit leader Jjakgwi in "Chuno")

5. I think Shin Min Ah is lovely and green is my favourite colour. ( Some pictures of Shin Min Ah )

GRRRRRRR! Google released an upgrade to the Calendar Application Programming Interface on Wednesday 16.09.2009 which affected quite negatively some things in our uploads of student timetables into their Google calendars. It is also my fault because I should have incorporated certain checks from the very beginning but as sometimes it happens, I didn't . I am sorting this out during the weekend and I am not going to claim overtime because I am feeling guilty.

I have this love/hate relationship with Google. On one hand, they are quietly taking over the world. On the other hand, their Application Programming Interfaces are less than stable and less than excellent.

I have been doing too much working from home lately, as in not having enough time for TV and LJ. :D This doesn't seem to be right and needs to be rectified! I am in the middle of user testing on a big project and to be honest the end is not nigh. But I am sure we will get through, we just need to keep digging.

I didn't have enough time to watch ( Russia/Spain properly )

PS: Two things of fandom:
- Vash the Stampede is GREAT!
- Where are the subs for Iljimae?
