Tales from the dark (well wet) side

Several things amused the GF during the day. In no particular sequence:
  • Firstly, while talking to an old colleague, it occurred to Gf how much he looked like Bilbo Baggins... and then GF couldn't get the image out of his mind, nor take anything he said seriously. My precious.
  • Then a younger colleague came for a chat and GF was troubled by the recurring thought that he was mutating (at least visually) into Graham Norton. Another image that is troubling!
  • GF commented during lunch how few ladies there were in the community - then clarified that there weren't even that many women. Pam Ayres took this in good heart and proceeded to say there was an initiative to move more women to influential positions. Just what we need in Starfleet, more bossy women!!
  • The mind wandered during some of the presentations. GF should explain that such presentation tend to be filled with acronyms and abbreviations. GF came up with some new ones:
    • Component Oriented Modelling Artifact - COMA
    • TRANsactional Component Engine - TRANCE
    • Simple Transisitional Unified Process Object Repository - STUPOR
    Not sure that they'll catch on, but I guess it reveals the GF's state of mind during the session!
