I seem to have stopped watching TV for a while now. To spend a bit of sofa time with Mrs CB I might look at some mindless stuff for pre-bed watching. Any ideas?

Things we've gone for before...

Police Interceptors (and similar)
Repair Shop
24 hours in police custody (and 24 hours in A&E before that)
Secrets of the Underground (I think... Scandi girl and enthusiastic guy look at what's behind the closed doors in tube stations. Actually that'd be a lot of fun IRL - when I was a networks guy I used to love going behind closed doors where no-one else could see).

And Mrs CB watches sewing bee/bake off when I'm out (usually with at least one child next to her).

None of the above require too much attention or for me to watch a whole series to understand what's going on!

Frasier, C4 has all 264 episodes, easy watching and most not seen before.

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).

Time for a new adventure!

Tea has been lamb steaks with chips, peas and gravy

Accompanied by an episode of C5's The Motorway (another one for you there, covbob)

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...

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

Another new adventure! Lot of it about today…

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 hurry

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 all

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 difference

I've done work and I can't, in all honesty, recommend it

I say work, - I mean consultancy
V persuasive chap. fully remote. loadsamoney*. interesting project.
I was getting bored anyway, and i've run out of authors.

*TBC - awaiting final offer on day rate
