Suppose I'd better go to the chemist. Then onwards to the Royal Mail outpost near Alpha Centauri, as a card was left for me yesterday about something too big to fit through the letterbox. I have no idea what it might be.

It's a little bottle, not a tube.The stuff is a liquid, slightly viscous. There's a small spatula inside the lid; you take it out and rest it on the ulcer for a few seconds, and the liquid that was coating the spatula miraculously turns into a kind of skin over the ulcer

Is it this stuff - linky?

Grrrrrr

At least you will lose the new PM....

I was telling porkies, there isn't one .

As for earlier release issues, now resolved.

However, I know enough about the system to know incorrect / incomplete components were deployed.
It even looks like they had a number of goes at it.

Interesting hobby capturing query run times and row counts, they rather tell a story
As I put these together I know how fast they should run and how many rows should be retrieved.

Obviously, a Cartesian query takes far longer than a relational query with integrity, the row counts balloon as well.

Anyway with "no further changes made", since last night, those godamn multiple issues and disappearing objects went and fixed themselves .

I suspect remotely, under the radar, by an incumbent who is on holiday.

Change control at its very finest

If you have early release issues, try thinking of MF.

Good suggestion, but it seems there are other unwanted side affects

FTFY.

Home again, again

The thing at the Royal Mail turned out to be a couple of books i'd ordered direct from a publisher, as they had big discounts on Black Friday.

However, these particular books had already been delivered, so I now have two of each

I know they're a small firm, and it looks like mine got sent out, then in dealing with the flood of orders they got during their sale (they sent an email saying how flooded they were and that this might make some orders a bit late) somebody sent them out again.

I'll drop them an email, but as it happens I was thinking of buying one of them as a present for someone anyway, so I might just tell them they can bill me again (assuming I didn't somehow order two of each). I'm sure I can find someone who wants the other one too

[NickFitz]

Is it this stuff - linky?

No, though I believe that's similar. It's Bonjela Complete Plus - complete with contradictory name!

[NickFitz]

Trying to reset my password on the publisher's site (as due to a cock-up with the "validate your account" emails I ended up with a stale one in Keychain) and the form is rejected every time for having an invalid token

Looking at the hidden fields therein, it turns out the field that should clearly contain a magic authentication token to relate it to the original reset email has my actual email address in it, and the field that should contain my email address doesn't exist (assuming it should have the same name as it does on the login form, which is a valid conjecture for reasons too boring to go into).

I've used the "contact" form instead to let them know, and to advance my theory as to what's wrong and how to fix it

[MrMarkyMark]

Home again. She prescribed amoxycillin

But she said not to start taking it yet as there's also an ulcer down there, which is probably causing the pain, so to try Bonjela on that first. Not sure about that, TBH, as in my experience ulcers feel different to this, which feels like an abscess

Still, she's the expert so I suppose I should give it a go

Sounds like an abscess under the tooth Buddy.

Unfortunately I'm a bloody expert .

I have been on the antibiotics for 7 days, yours + 400g Metronidazole tablets, for gum problems.

Supposed to kill blood poisoning and all sorts, I've only had antibiotics 2 times in the past before, 1 was very necessary as gangrene was the alternative, plus potential the loss of a foot

Luckily the really nasty gum infection cleared up, although one of my gum ulcers is still slightly kicking off
However infection is a lot weaker than before and related to it not being able to heal, rather than internal infection, so I'm thinking that "glue" you have suggested might be just the ticket.

Holding out for stem cell advancements so I can grow my missing fecking teeth back.

Still, I have a full head of hair with very little grey.

Gotta take the rough with the smooth
