    Morning all

    drizzle/light rain here.

    I have no reason to venture forth, therefore i care not.

      'Tis getting lighter, with a wan sun peeping through the grey.

      One can see the route of the Brunel designed South Wales Mineral Railway from the window.

      Correction: no one can't.

        Morning denizens

        Grey again, though the rain has now passed on its way, unless there are a few straggling showers

          wfh today...

          so one my kids mates appeared at the door at about 9.30 because her parents were out and she had forgotten her key

          would have been fine if I wasn't in my best Jimmy Saville dressing gown

          luckily my kids were around and so they sorted it.

              Sunny intervals at the moment in Mancunia. Staff restaurant menu looks decidedly average, nothing that appealing. Chili beef burrito maybe the best option.

                Minor problem with testing this twitter stuff: I'm trying to single-step in the debugger, and keep hitting the API rate limit which causes the library I'm using to wait 90 seconds to retry

                Not too bothered about the library busy-looping as hitting the limit is very unlikely to happen in production. More bothered that Twitter has such a stupidly low rate limit: 15 HTTP GETs per 15 minute window of time, when a cold start requires four calls just to get all the available data

                    Precipitation increased.

                    Amazon delivery arrived. The driver didn't ring the doorbell. The driver updated to say it had been delivered. After 10 minutes of checking, he had set the parcel on top of my wellies.

                    Why couldn't he ring the doorbell?
                    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                      *steps over function in debugger*

                      Console: "API rate limit reached; waiting for 438s..."
