The news about Chris' death is still taking a while to sink in. This time last week we were chatting about the new Windows Beta he was testing and this week I know I'll never be able to do that again. Tomorrow I'm off to meet up with some people who worked with him when we were at PC World, some of whom I haven't seen for years also. As one of my friends said, it's so sad that it takes something like this for us to get together. I'm so fortunate to have Pete home at the moment and to be surrounded by good friends.

On a positive note, I did manage to get hold of the photos that appeared in the Herald last week.

It's strange seeing the beard now that it's a distant memory....and strangely part of me is missing it a little....never thought i'd say that.
