I went to the King's Arms with the missus. I had one of their hme-made burgers with cheese, pineapple and enough chips to bust yer belly. Her ladyship had a lamb shank.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

I like lamb shanks... might get some tomorrow
Has anybody else noticed a distinct shortage of shallots?
Sainsburys put up a notice claiming that it was due to "a worldwide shortage of raw materials".
I assume that this means "a worldwide shortage of shallots" given that they are raw materials

My sash windows are sticking (haven't got round to sorting them yet), I bought a basil plant from Sainsburys two weeks ago that wilted but recovered after watering and now the issue of shallots.
One greengrocer at my local market is the only place I've managed to get them in the past few weeks.
Any more of these similarities and I'll have to have a go at a techie post

HTTP Status Codes are a good topic at the moment.Originally posted by ControlG View PostAny more of these similarities and I'll have to have a go at a techie post
I'd always felt that they were a neglected topic, and worth addressing. (Apparently I created a minor amount of gobsmackedness at Y! when I dropped some detailed disquisition appertaining thereto into a discussion on an internal developers' mailing list within a couple of days of arriving.)
More recently, one of my colleagues (who I also know from other directions) at FormerClientCorp was one of the speakers at @media 2008, where he gave a very good explanation of them (and again at BarCampLondon4).
I sat in the front row, with the relevant page of the HTTP 1.1 RFC open on my MacBook, just begging for him to make some egregious error... but he really is very good, and even made a party piece out of the most obscure differentiation between HTTP 1.0 and HTTP 1.1

Identifying said differentiation is left as an exercise for the reader

I've just got some spam for testpleasedelete@testpleasedelete.com advertising Father's Day Gifts.
Should we get something for sasguru, do you think?
