The last refuge of a scoundrel



Great night at the last night of the Proms.
Better than it has been recently with an excellent (traditional) music programme, great performances from Nicola Benedetti and Joseph Calleja and a good speech from the conductor Jiri Belohlavek.





I have just finished Daniel Suarez's 'Deamon'. 
A very well written book about a 'dead' computer games billionaire who leaves behind a computer virus which 'maps' the real world and is taking over the world's computers.
My only criticism is that it seems to lose it's way right at the end with a very violent and inconclusive finish. (I wonder if possible film rights and sequel were a factor)
