I have spent the last two days very slowly and painfully redoing all the system's CSV reports because, apparently, the cloggies and froggies use a semi-colon separator.
Most of them were very lazily thrown together (mostly by me) so it's a real PITA.

Feck knows what'll happen to them now when I feed them to HyperD's excel munger.

I find tab separation solves all those problems (and creates a far more entertaining one when you follow on with the next request and change the file suffix to .tsv from .csv).

Well my shiny new method means that with a little config change they can use as a separator if they so desire.

Well the steaks I ordered turned up, they were frozen.



Am well fecking unhappy!

So will need to find a different supplier as I hate it when everything is pre-frozen!

Yep that's what the batch script now has. It also has one for end of record as some of the fields are text blobs that have carrage returns and new line tulip in them. I used as the end of record flag but someone complained...

Permie's at ClientCo have succumbed and stopped acknowledging every time I sneeze, I think it was the 17th in the space of 25 mins was the straw that broke the camels back!

Fark.

This ultrasonic receiver thingie is driving I batchy.

It must be said that it doesn't take much.

Tried mounting 4 transducers at right angles to each other and all connected in series.

It sort of works, but not much betterer than the single transducer.

Unimpressive, all in all.

[zeitghost]

Maybe 6 would be better, as in a sphere.

I shall try that tomorrow.

On which happy note:



Byeeeeeee



Another tedious day over.

And I had to take a dump in the most awkward bog it's ever been my misfortune to use.

Space constraints seem to have made it necessary to lean against the wall to get a sheet of lavatory paper & wipe one's arse.

Or it wasn't designed for lizards with broad shoulders.

Trying a new hotel this evening - from the website it appears to have a nice menu
