Got to work early today, mainly because the boys being back at school puts extra pressure on the bathroom, and I prefer to get up early to do my ablutions (sp?) in relative peace.  That tawdry domestic detail aside, an early arrival at the coalface of IT has the added benefit that I can sort a few things out before colleagues get in and start phoning me about their computer problems.

But this morning there is extra pressure to get sorted, because there’s an experiment going on in Switzerland, which may bring about the end of the world.  Apparently they’re trying to re-create the Big Bang, which could generate a black hole, into which we will all vanish.  It’s going to happen in about 30 seconds, so I’d better say “Cheerio” and press the Publish button quickly.
