(no subject)

Took Frodo (the puppy) to the vet this morning to be neutered. Then I got stuck in a long queue on the A14, a lane was closed where a lorry had hit the central barrier. (Print copy of CEN had photo, but nothing on web site that I can see.)
Maybe I should try and check traffic news before setting off - or just use the Burwell road more often anyway.

Phone virus

From IRC at work:
<beeb> Sci-Tech: Smartphones suffer Skulls attack. http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/click/rss/1.0/ticker/-/1/hi/technology/4033231.stm
<XX> Call me old-fashioned, but honestly: "...the phone becomes almost useless. The only thing the phone can do is make and take calls."

Bypass news

Apparently Transco failed to rebury a gas main deeper when they were supposed to, and now can't do it till spring, so the bypass will be later than planned, so they may be putting the traffic calming measures in the village in place before the bypass. FSVO "calming".
