Apparently got fatty liver and I need to lose weight (Doing everything I can to lose weight)

If you want to lose weight I can let you have The ZeitLurgy(tm).

I've lost half a stone since Monday.

Well, I've spent three days trying to work out a way to end a chef-client run before it's run to completion. Though it's completely undocumented (like so much about Chef) it turns out all I needed was

throw :end_client_run_early

I particularly like the way they treat "exit 0", which is a standard way of indicating the process completed without error, as an error.

We can always tell when the esteemed customers have nicked sommat off the interweb thingie coz it has stuff like that in it.

Normally they expect everything to complete error free.

And the very idea of testing a return value makes them faint clean away.

Very likely.

I was about to go & shower but I've just started shivering again.

Lunch consisted of half a pint of bird's custard.

It was invented in Swansea you know.

Rails is a web application framework written in Ruby, yes. Thank God I'm not stuck using that, too

Just wasted half an hour over the fact that somebody else's code specifies certain keys as strings some of the time and symbols (constant strings) other times; and under certain arcane circumstances, these are not the same thing

I'm still impressed with your rear view Google streetview.

My only association with Ruby is when I gifted ex-FLC a Ruby pendant from South Africa . She flounced with the necklace and a lot of other things.

Currently located at a German airport and all* of the female checkin staff had their nails painted in Germanwings purple.

The most important bit of the above is that it's Thursday. If all goes to plan then Thursday will be followed by Friday, which in turn will be followed by the weekend.

And now we're even closer!
