    Morning denizens

    Clear blue sky today, but it’s a bit chilly as a result: currently 7°C and reaching the high of 15° this afternoon once it’s clouded over. The barometers are back up to 1008/1016mB

    I managed to wake up properly, or at least enough to get up, on the second alarm

    It’s Tech Debt Thursday today, so a break from the usual stuff - though there isn’t much usual stuff left TBH; although there are some remaining things to do, they depend on others outside our ambit getting stuff done. So they’ll be handled in an ad hoc fashion after next week, when I officially move on to… well, I’m not quite sure TBH. There’s a PowerPoint deck from a planning session I didn’t go to which I’m supposed to have a look at as that has the high-level details, but I forgot so I should probably do that

    Today, I had hoped for a bit of peace and quiet to deal with the last few minor things, but it sounds like we’ll all be doing some kind of introductory AI session. The department has been very cautious about letting AI anywhere near code, but Number Ten is still very keen, so there’s been a small trial during the past year which is now gradually being expanded. It sounds like we’re about to be inculcated into the cult. I shall see if I can use up all my tokens on the first day, generating documentation of the older parts of this thing that I still don’t fully understand, as I’ve been putting that off for a while now

      Morning all

      Blue sky and the occasional wisp. Currently 12 degrees with a high of 15 expected. Barometer up to 1022 mBar.

      Sunrise 07:13; Sunset 18:23 BST

      Yesterday we had a very early dinner (pre-theatre) at Acme Fire Cult; very good if a little on the salty side. We then wandered around the corner to the Arcola Theatre to watch The Turn of the Screw, based on Henry James' novella. Followed by a Q&A with the script writer and director. An excellent evening.

      Later today HWMBO's eldest and I will be off to Camden to see another play. We will then meet with HWMBO afterwards for dinner.
