Oh and a minor om. That's nice.

What is the point of blocking your diary as unavailable only for people to ignore that and book a meeting anyway?

Then when you decline, pointing out that your calendar showed you as unavailable, they just say "thanks for letting me know". I'm apparently essential to the meeting they have set up, so you'd think they'd check I could actually attend.

It's a.... Zen Chury! Ommmm!

CBS here in the Midlands. Sadly I'm stuck on the 5th floor of my local Civil Service building instead of being in the garden enjoying it.

Very tired today. I think I need an early night and some time on the sofa first - we have been working through the latest series of Ambulance and have a few more to go.

Forgot to post this morning because I was busy working through the reputation import for the new forum! Turned out to be moderately straightforward, but it became clear that the new forum software doesn’t work the same way - it just converts rep into likes. So I’ll move on now I’ve got that working, and later I’ll investigate what it would take to add a vB-like rep system. TBH this new software is so good that I think it might be quite straightforward, but we’ll see

It’s positively Simpsonesque here today, though not as warm as it could be, with a bit of a breeze that isn’t helping: we’re currently at the day’s peak of 13°C but it “feels like” 7°; the barometers are up a little at 1015/1023mB

I’ve made it to the end of the importer! Every single one of the twenty-odd steps has been checked and gone through line-by-line, and seems OK

Now I need to add some additional steps, as it doesn’t deal with a few things. It doesn’t bring in the default user titles for some reason, though it checks users for custom titles and gets them, and it also doesn’t import the naughty words filter that gives us “tulip” and the like. But those things are straightforward compared to some of the other stuff, and I’ve now got a pretty detailed understanding of the best way to go about them

Oh, and it doesn’t know about thanks/likes as we understand them, because they're done by a plugin. It looks pretty straightforward to bring them over as well, as it already has a system for them

And in the background, I’ve also been getting some bedding washed

Clear blue sky here now

No laundry done. But I did do a load of user story writing ready for the new starter indoctrination tomorrow.

Wind seems to have gotten up and there's more cloud about.

Tea has been lab steaks with chips and beans

And to go with this, a bit of new Traffic Cops
