But I discovered nothing else but depraved, excessive superstition. Pliny the younger -
Afternoon all
Thanks for all of the TV suggestions
Was lovely here earlier but clouded over now.
Finally started going out of my tiny little mind enough that I put in my 3 months notice at CivilServiceBody today. Not sure what to do next but I feel the need to do what I do well (networks) instead of what I currently do badly (managing developers).Comment

Got called into an all contractor meeting at 4:45 so that we could all be served notice at the same time.
The joy of a corporate merger where I know the company this clientco is merging with has a solution in production rather than 3 weeks (+ delay due to year end limitations) away from pilot.
So time to go job hunting - but first write a marketing pitch to see if the agency we are through can sell the team on mass to another project...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Odd thing driving to karaoke yesterday evening, a bird, crow I think, dropped a plastic bottle on the road in front of me.bloggoth

I'm wondering what the General Election will bring at ClientGov. Maybe nothing, maybe they shut the whole department down and move all the civil servants to other departments. Though they're still dealing with the consequences of the reorganisation of departments a year ago last February, so I doubt anything will change in a hurryComment

Did a bit of messing around with that equation I was looking at yesterday. It occurred to me that I only needed the curve to go halfway, as that can be swept around the axis to generate the vertices for a 3D object, so I started to cut down the range over which the equation was being iterated. Hmm, 3 is a bit too low… 3.2 is too far… DOH! it's pi of course! If I was better at maths, I'd probably have assumed that from the start
And I finished reading The Illusionist in which, among other things, he came up with the idea for Monty's double - and it wasn't as it was depicted in the film, either. Great book
Goodnight allComment

Morning denizens
Partly cloudy out, but with enough sun getting through to make it look like a bright start. Going to be another warm one too: 13°C now, 21° due later. The barometers are down a touch at 1015/1023mB, though I don't expect that'll make much differenceComment
