Of course, this was planned before I took so much time off work

[TheFaQQer]

Oh well, it's been five years in the planning.

We told the plumber if he was good when we had the heating done, he'd get the work for the bathroom.

That was two years ago......

That's enough drivel - time to concentrate on Casino Royale

Some dedicated drivelling there FaQ

Just got my marching orders from ClientCo.

Move up on the bench! On the plus side I' there till the end of Jan - hopefully past the worst of it.

Sorry to hear that SP - hopefully budgets will be sorted out after Christmas and the market will begin to pick up.

I spent the last couple of days working away at various demos that might be useful for the interview - I didn't really have any details beyond a vague description of the nature of the business, so I wanted to cover as many bases as possible

The client started out by telling me that he didn't understand any technical stuff more recent than dBase, and never asked for a demo of anything

Furthermore, there was no Internet access available, unless we wanted to muck around with my 3 modem

Anyway, I showed him an app I already had up in the browser: the server grabs feeds of satellite tracking data for wild elephants in Africa and turns them into tabular data in HTML, and then a bit of JavaScript sucks the data out of the table and displays it on a Google Map. He seemed to find that quite entertaining

Bummer

Roll on New Year - with a bit of luck things will pick up then

Ten to go...
