Hurray lunchtime. Managed to get one report out. What a productive day

I have very vague recollections of productive days*.

Unproductive days, on the other hand, 14 existentially endless years of those.

*Finding a bug that was preventing a piece of test equipment reading a file properly was one. It had something to do with the Intel MDS II file format IIRC. Then some oik heaved a stone over the car park fence & put the heated rear window of my Granada all over the back seat. It wasn't really a great afternoon.

Sardines-in-tomato-sauce toasties for lunch

That must count as one of the five-a-day or something akin thereto, given the olive oil, tomato sauce, and oily fish

Sounds a bit like instant dyspepsia to me.

And at my age it's getting difficult to distinguish dyspepsia from a heart problem.

Then again, everything hurts anyway.

Feck me I did some stuff back in the day.

The frightening thing is that it's over 30 years ago.

Analysing the format on MDSII and the 9100 and 9300 Fet tester floppy diskettes (8" single sided) and writing stuff that let the things be programmed off line thusly saving the miserable bastards spending 100k+ on more equipment.

They were too tight to buy a £30 book that explained how floating point worked, so I read the requisite bits in the Bucon Microstore in Swansea.

I forgot to have lunch, will sort that out in a minute, but I did knock out two more reports and I can now kick back for the afternoon.

Do any of them deal with formatting web pages, cos his site could do with some
