Haven't written a line of code in 5 or 6 years. Probly can't remember how any more

You don't need to remember, Google does it for you. I still like messing about with code, mostly just website stuff, php, jscript etc and Excel VBA.

Glad me few remaining brain cells don't have to deal with such complex problems anymore NF. Still trying to figure out how me mappy thing is about 15 x 5 pixels off.

No great loss really but I would like to make a replacement zapper for the tv/freesat box.

Trouble is that every box I turn on seems to die*.

At least some of them still run Freecell, which is really all that matters now.

*The really irritating one is the one that successfully ran Win2k for years & years, then refused to boot and refuses to install on a fresh hd. Frustrating. Generates a STOP then restarts so I can't even figure out WTF is wrong with it.

Good afternoon all,

This week's soup is sans parsnips and so much nicer with the added bonus of extra thick bacon from the butcher.

Wind 7 kt from the North/Northwest, varying between West/Northwest and North
Temperature 4°C
Humidity 60%
Pressure 1016 hPa
Visibility 10 km or more

Managed to get a check flight in over the weekend. Three circuits (normal, flapless and a glide one) and a practised forced landing.

Lunch was scrambled eggs on toast.

I got some fancy pants eggs from Waitrose and the colour of the yolks is very striking indeed. The eggs themselves tasted nice but, without doing a side-by-side comparison with normal free range eggs, I don't know if they're 'better'. I had heard some farmers feed their chickens things like turmeric to make the egg yolk more orangey coloured. I don't believe the colour has any bearing on the nutritional content.

First day back and there’s a bug in something I did before Christmas. Interestingly, it’s the direct opposite of the bug I initially set out to fix - that one caused rows of data to be returned that shouldn’t be, this one is missing rows that should. I wish we could just throw this whole thing away and start again, or at least tidy up the database schema! But it’s got too many years of data in it, and anyway, nobody any longer understands how large parts of it work
