State of the fivemack

The fivemack is currently a gentlemen of leisure, which is like a NEET but with a healthier bank account; he has this week off and starts at ARM on Monday.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] uitlander, the meadow is strimmed and looking much more like a lawn.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ghoti's bakfiets, the house is equipped with coffee-table books, tea and coffee.

Thanks to Panther Taxis the house is equipped with a coffee-table and six chairs.

Thanks to cambridgevanman.co.uk the house is equipped with a dining-table and a comfy chair, the outbuilding holds a large fraction of my miscellaneous mathom collection, and much of the abandoned mathom collection of the previous owners has been consigned to the tip.

And thanks to many of my friends the house is pleasantly warmed and has chocolate.

So the fivemack is generally in a quite acceptable state; and walking and cycling backwards and forwards to the house variably heavily laden is probably quite good for him.

Tomorrow should be a red-letter day: not only does the fridge arrive, but so does the man who will remove the undesirable fittings from the living room and the front bedroom.

What will you be doing for the fine gentlemen of ARM? :)

Senior Modelling Engineer, which I think involves lots of work on ARM-machine-code to x86 JIT compilers written in C++, and very little standing around with my clothes off.

Intriguing. A bunch of people I know here in Mancunia worked for Transitive who apparently did something similar back in the day...

I model a different kind of arm ;) Darn, I missed warming your house.

Hurray, it all sounds good! And even more good when it's settled down a bit and you can relax. You must allow me to come round bearing gifts too once you're at home to visitors who live a bit further away.

Congratulations on many home improvements, but can you explain, please, how one cycles backwards...?
