      The Sugababes are also skinny, but that still didn't stop them blocking the route from my desk past the pool table to the coffee machine when I was wrestling with a particularly thorny set-theory-related problem in XSLT at the radio studios in Bristol when they were doing the interview circuit prior to the release of Push the Button

      Silly mares

      Still, Heidi's simper and apologetic smile to me as I was getting my coffee helped me to forgive them - <- like that, but looking like Heidi

        There was free curry in the pub tonight

        It wasn't curry of any particular ilk - more a lamb stew with curry spices in it and boiled rice - but it was still very toothsome after the third pint

        There was also a minor lock-in, hence my late return

        Oh, and the landlord wants to know what I'd charge him to build the pub a web site - just a few pages, and the facility to update the grub menu every few days

        Given that such a thing is pretty easy to knock together, and that I like the pub, I suspect he may get a bargain. To be honest, I might just knock something together over the weekend and, if it's all he needs, help him to set up the domain name and hosting and grab a few free beers off him. I don't suppose he's either expecting or willing to pay the kind of rates I extort from my clients, but it's a good pub and I don't mind doing him a favour, as long as it's understood that long-term support would cost an arm and a leg.

        Then again, maybe I could develop a Plan B creating and maintaining web sites for small businesses. Although I seem to recollect that I've avoided doing exactly that in the past, on the grounds that it's boring

        I prefer cutting edge, me...

                  I've just sent my first email of the day at clientco, waiting for response and then I can take action.
                  So in the mean time I will hobble downstairs for a cup of coffee and a bit of breakfast
