It's late and as is often the case I should be in bed but I'm. It's Friday night - well Saturday morning - and this is the time when I tend to find myself doing pointless nonsense online, either talking to friends via MSN Messenger or just playing games.

I can waste hours in front of a computer just trying out all kinds of silly nonsense. So far this evening I've tried to tackle the thorny problem of my work newsletter. The damn thing is so old that the copyright notice is written in hieroglyphs. Modern email programs such as Thunderbird and Outlook 2007 just show a garbled mess instead of the carefully selected set of interesting reviews and news I have lined up for our readers.

So the time has come to do something about it. And as ever, I only get the creative urge in the middle of the night when I should be asleep. Firing up word and exploring the newsletter templates had me captive for all of five minutes before I just started wandering. The truth is I'm too tired this evening for recreating a newsletter that goes out to over 180,000 people and I should spend more thinking time on the project.

My mind is too confused thinking about other things to make any headway.

See?

I really should just go to bed. In fact I will. Goodnight.
