Enigin and the ESA into 2010

January 4th, 2010 posted by enigin

So we’ve had New Year’s Eve. I have often thought it an overrated occasion, exciting plans are made, parties held and yet……a hangover is often the only memento the next day. Many years ago when I lived in London I spent a couple of New Year’s Eves in Trafalgar Square, the classic British celebration, and these were probably the best I’ve had - I keep promising myself that one year I will experience the Times Square equivalent.

Several of us from Enigin celebrated together, albeit twenty-four hours early! As they say, “a good time was had by all” and for me one measure of that “good time” is not to experience that well known “morning after”. (Already known as Granddad around the office, I guess I am only confirming the suitability of that nickname).

Having said that, I don’t think many of my Enigin colleagues suffered too much either. Whilst we know how to enjoy ourselves the idea of work next day for some and the real New Year this evening for all of us, meant that we were just a little circumspect.

The first working day after another long weekend and a chance to check on progress with the ESA launch, which appears to be on track. Although many businesses around the world seemed to shut down for long periods at this time of year, thankfully Enigin, the ESA and our other Council Members have all managed to put in a few hours over this “social season”!

The first posting of 2010, I am surprised how diligent I have been since I started. So, a time for resolutions (again a much overrated notion), but I will at least resolve to keep posting in 2010, particularly as I will have much to report as launch day approaches.
