    Thinking of getting an arduino wav shield.

    Seems expensive at £22 though.

      Supposed to be going to London again this week, for a thing on Wednesday. This, of course, coincides with the Tube strike

      In theory, the services that TfL hopes to keep running will suffice for my purposes. But that's just theory.

      The project at ClientCo is also entering a busy phase.

      So I'm wondering if I should cancel the trip, and keep invoicing instead.

      Decisions, decisions

        Reading about Victorian dog thieves in Henry Mayhew's London Labour and the London Poor - apparently one could make quite a good living by stealing dogs, advertising them as "found" and demanding "expenses" from the owner for restitution, because dogs weren't legally property until quite late in the 19th century

                Victorian morality was clearly an indulgence of the monied, and not much bothered with by the costermongering classes

                  "One very common procedure, if the policeman has seized a barrow, is to whip off a wheel, while the officers have gone for assistance; for a large and loaded barrow requires two men to convey it to the green-yard."

                    That reminds me of a story about a Norfolk wherryman who was caught smuggling.

                      He'd taken on a cargo of smuggled goods at a point where the Norfolk Broads are near the coast, and was transporting them inland.
