Off today. Just about to head up to Reading to see friend's new(ish) baby. Train up, cycle back (if it's not raining...)

Morning!

I've given up using a car around Leeds so now park up on the clients car park on Monday and use a bus to get around.

Is it the confusing road signs or the other road users causing the stress?

If you plan to park in Leeds, there are a shed load of NCP car parks evenly distributed. I used to struggle back in the day but once you get a hang of the Loop road, it is a walk in the park!

Morning all

The permie App developer decided to call in sick this morning as the development was getting too complex for him He was complaining all day Monday and Yesterday about how complicated the design was and that it needs to be "simplified".

Having said that, I just threatened the PM that I will bring my own contract developer if he cannot give me a replacement or bugger off myself!

Depends where you are working and where you are staying, lots of places near to ClientCo which would mean parking is not an issue, but if you are staying anywhere near the center you probably do right!

Have had avatars turned off. Switched them on and noticed that one forum user has the same avatar as another forum user's facebook pic. How confusing.

Yes that did make me chuckle when said person changed it on Facebook

Still don't have access to webmail.

They're fecking about with stuff.

It'd be much too intelligent to leave the old stuff working while you work the bugs out of the new tulipe of course.

Retards.

Alarm bells ringing!. Guess I will "hand my notice in" after lunch, if the PM cannot manage to get his head out of his arse.

That way, I will atleast manage to get a free hot lunch with pudding

The BBC did the same to the historic radio feeds announcing that they had spoken to all the providers of digital streaming devices. Currently my squeezeboxes can't access the new radio feeds.

Sodding stackoverflow.com is utterly useless sometimes. "How do I set up x on Windows?" "I use w, y, and z on FreeBSD instead because it's better."

Mind you, all such places are the same. Google led me to a Microsoft support forum yesterday, where somebody having trouble updating PowerShell's help files from inside a corporate network was told to open the firewall

I was surprised they managed to be so polite as they explained that Corporate IT was unlikely to agree to expose thousands of users worldwide to the open Internet just so one person could update a few files
