and I had a text of him saying thanks for the bit extra.

looks like he his coming back as Mrs wants him to fit the floor.

He liked the "bit extra"...

The Mrs wants him to "fit the floor"...

Are you living in a Carry On film without realising it?

I am currently updating my Resume. am chucking everything to the four winds and going for a permie admin position I've been offered.

Crap money too, £44,000 year.

Not guaranteed to get it mind. but as I don't care enough either way, so what.

Really? I wouldn't accept a permie role for less than 100K pa - although you're wealthier than me, so maybe you're not so bothered.

I'd still insist on the right to turn up at lunchtime and occasionally teatime, though

Well done NF

I'm off to bed now. have to be up early

I really should get back to testpleasedelete.com... and I think of this after spending the whole evening thinking about writing a bunch of code and related articles about implementing real-time 3d graphics in modern browsers via the canvas element... and assorted wondrous approaches to optimisation... and how tricks that were dirty even in FORTH can get even dirtier in object oriented LISP (which is what JavaScript is)...

Still, TPD comes first

I'll get the new spider going over the weekend - a Bank Holiday weekend, when traffic on the site is low, is a good time to crawl, as it avoids overloading the server... not that the spider would overload it, given that it adds maybe 0.00001% load to the server (if not less).

Basically, it's equivalent a user loading a page every 30 seconds, but not downloading any images or script files, so it's about the same as a user loading a page every minute or two (it's more complex than that in terms of impact on the server, but it's the humans that hit it harder, not the spider. I can produce a graph, if necessary).

And if they restructured the templates to use HTML and CSS optimally, they could cut their page weight down massively and save a fortune (well, save a bit) on yearly bandwidth costs... as well as making it easier for my parser to digest the pages

I will do this for them, if they ask... as the barman said to the neutron, No Charge.

Ah well, another beautiful morning in Sunny Manchester! Morning all

It's "Gay Pride" parade today! I'll have to dust off my "Dress Whites" and practice a couple of the old classics...

Where can you find pleasure
Search the world for treasure
Learn science, technology
Where can you begin
To make your dreams all come true
On the land or on the sea
Where can you learn to fly
Play in sports or skindive
Study oceanography
Sign up for the big band
Or sit in the grand stand
When your team and others meet

In the Navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the Navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the Navy
Come on now people make a stand
In the Navy
Can't you see we need a hand
In the Navy
Come on protect the motherland
In the Navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the Navy
Come on people and make a stand
In the Navy
In the Navy

They want you
They want you
They want you as a new recruit

If you like adventure
Don't you wait to enter
The recruiting office fast
Don't you hesitate,
There is no need to wait
They're signing up new seamen fast
Maybe you are too young to join up today
But don't you worry 'bout the thing
For I'm sure there will be
Always the good Navy
Protecting the land and sea

In the Navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the Navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the Navy
Come on now people make a stand
In the Navy
Can't you see we need a hand
In the Navy
Come on protect the motherland
In the Navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the Navy
Come on people and make a stand
In the Navy
In the Navy

They want you
They want you
They want you
As a new recruit
They want you
They want you
They want you
As a new recruit

But, but, but
I'm afraid of water
Hey, hey, look men
I get seasick
Even watching it on the TV
They Want You
Oh my goodness
They Want you
What am I gonna do in a submarine
They Want you
They Want you
In the Navy

In the Navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the Navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the Navy
Come on now people make a stand
In the Navy
Can't you see we need a hand
In the Navy
Come on protect the motherland
In the Navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the Navy
Come on people and make a stand
In the Navy
In the Navy
