      So you got home without getting wet.
      Not quite: it was still raining when I got out of the car to unlock the gate; nasty, cold rain that went straight through that stupid office shirt

      It stopped once I'd parked and was disconnecting the dash cam and phone

        I'm on a diet so it was one piece of breaded M&S haddock this evening.
        I've got the rest of Sunday's lamb to finish off. Quite looking forward to it, if I can ever get around to going to the kitchen and sorting it out

            My thing for saving whatever links get tweeted into my Twitter timeline is working away like a good 'un

            Just had to go in and add pagination, as it's currently got 2,647 of them, and having them all on a single page was a bit much

            Most of those are links within Twitter though - pictures, or people quoting other tweets. Next stage is to add a filter to only show links to external domains, then combine duplicates, then resolve links from URL shorteners like bit.ly, then add some rules for organising them in such a way that the most interesting ones are near the top

            Each of those has its own wrinkles: for example, eliminating duplicates will involve a number of rules of thumb for cases where the query string (e.g. http://example.com/something.html?foo=bar&moo=cow) is used for tracking social media campaigns (where it will be different if the person tweeted it after finding it on, say, Facebook or Twitter but the actual page will be the same, so those bits should be thrown away), as opposed to being important (where, say, it specifies which article on the blog it is, and is therefore essential to find the right page).

            Hours of fun; or, at least, rather more productive than just reading Twitter constantly

                  Dinner was very good once I finally got it made

                  If I'm making proper roast spuds, I should start at least an hour or so earlier than I actually did
