Today I had to estimate times for a bit of work in a programming language I've never written a single line of code in, using an application development framework I've only ever glanced through a tutorial for...

I estimated everything as taking twice as long as it ought to, and left the meeting with the observation that I felt like a random number generator

Still, they won't hold me to any of it - they just needed some guesswork to put in their spreadsheets.

Spot on.

Yesterday I submitted a Project Brief outlining why I want £400,000 for a project I don't really understand.

But when there's nobody better available... you're the best there is.

How long is the project? I suppose £400k for a year is okay money...

It seems a little churlish with a pali that he left for me, but am I the only one to think that perhaps Diver is andyw on Ritalin?

most fx is traded spot - which means 2 business days from today. sounds simple eh.

but you have to know holidays for both currencies. and consider case of EUR - which holidays count? So it gets quite complex.

Also JPY can have several days public holiday on the trot...

besides spot fx, one can have forward (so done in the future) or a swap (which is 2 fx deals - money reversed in second transaction).

a swap can be seen as 2 money market back to back deals - more on money market later.
