Apparently this is what I look like in full-on liveblogging mode...
Just a quick thank you to John & Laura of journalism.co.uk for mentioning me as one of their journalism bloggers of 2009.
Also, Neil Perkin of Only Dead Fish has nominated my Death of the News Package post for Post of the Month. Feel free to go and vote for me... :-)
Here, as close as possible, is the same shot I took on Sunday night, showing the view from where my car is parked. The big melt is starting to make the street passable again, and the actual hill down to the main road (just out of shot) is pretty clear.
Looks like I'll be gracing the office with my presence tomorrow...
I've just spent a couple of hours singing carols round the wards of St George's Hospital.After spending some very unhappy times in hospitals this year, it's nice to bring a little happiness to some tonight.
Have a great Christmas all!
Talking of World of Warcraft, as the last post was, some people known that I live a secret blogging life as a Warcraft blogger (fewer pageviews, but more feed subscribers than this blog, oddly). I was part of a round table of Warcraft bloggers that got together for a podcast a few weeks ago - and which involved me getting up at 5am.
Anyway, deeply tired and geeky ramblings over on the Twisted Nether Blogcast, or you can snag it in iTunes (it's episode 20).

Something of a horrible morning. A member of my close family is (or, perhaps, was) an employee of Lehman Brothers. Obviously, so soon after losing Mum, another shock like this is not ideal for the family.Robert Peston has been blogging about the Lehman Brothers situation on his BBC blog.
The Guardian's got a good landing page set up for Lehman's demise.
But I rather like the detail in Chris Irvine's story on Lehman's Docklands offices (where my family member work) in the Telegraph:
A good reminder of the personal cost behind this news.The customary security presence surrounding the buildings of Canary Wharf is also slightly larger than usual. But rather than their usual task of keeping out unwanted outsiders, the staff are primarily occupied today with moving on the credit crunch's most recent victims before they share their troubles with the waiting media.
Nevertheless, a few of those passing out from the high-rise office's glass doors did stop to explain the mood inside the building. Koen Thijsson was the first employee out the door. He was carrying his belongings in a cardboard box and said: "This is it. I think it's going to be all of us".
Kristine's recent interview with me is online. It's in Norwegian, though, so I've no idea if she's been nice or not...
