I'm not here really. Just dropping a bit of graffiti on the wall. Having trouble sleeping, again, see. Bored of staring at the ceiling in the dark. Thinking of things. As you do.

Hello, NickFitz

I'm off to play games now...

Hi BI, if you're still there, or if you pop in again

How's it going? Haven't seen you in a bit, although I wasn't sure if that was because I was (whisper it) not reading everything during the week

I've been whizzing around the country going to interviews and helping why wife with her work (she works from home).

Sitting next to her posting banananananas to TPD while she's working 14 hours a day seems a little ... unfair. So I try to look busy in Jobserve instead!

Morning all

[Diver]

Today I have a bad feeling.
I think that after last nights high wind and heavy rain, my site on the docks is going to be a disaster zone.
I am going to finish this cuppa (3rd this morning) and zoom down to the dock to confirm my suspicions.

I have been drinking, and indeed, I am moderately drunk.

There is a kebab shop approximately 200 yards away on the other side of the road.

I have peered down the road from my bay window, and it is still open.

What to do...

Don't do it!

There's a new chap in there, an Essex native if I surmise correctly.

What is it with these Essex folk? Are they actually trying to be annoying in every aspect of their character, demeanor, and social skills (or lack thereof)? Or is some recessive gene being expressed in them because of the incorrigible inbreeding practices of their forebears (no, not bears like you, Bear)?

Notice, by the way, that my brackets are only ever one level deep. This proves that I have never been a Lisp hacker

Is that like a lip smacker

[Diver]

Not to say that I can't nest stuff

While I was cooking my dinner I thought of one of the nastiest ways of writing code that has ever occurred to me. It combines all the demerits of computed GOTOs, needless closures, and an excessive dependance on the Factory pattern into a bizarre mish-mash of asynchronously-interacting elements

I might play with this bizarre approach to things again tomorrow... if I have time after I've edited all the pictures I took of Carling

Why the Edit, post the lot pal
