I thought I'd engage with technology this morning, installing a new DVD drive in my computer in an attempt to get WaveLab to burn CDs properly. While I had the thing opened up on the floor, there was a power cut in the entire area (although domestic power seems to be OK), so our phone, internet and TV have all disappeared simultaneously, with no idea when they will return. At least I've got plenty of other things to do.

On the way home yesterday, I dropped into the studio for Vic Galloway's radio show, which made a nice cultural contrast from the School of Scottish Studies Archive.
