Morning denizens

Grey, blustery, relatively mild.

And this from the chap who's baked a cake.

I might make another one soon. Coffee and walnut sounds good

[original PM]

Morning all
Yesterday evening, the client PM requested that since there were so many things on, it would be good if we could be in for 8am today. IT PM says “no problem”, and then once everyone says they can make it, IT PM says “but of course I won’t be there because I can’t get in that early”
One of the biggest failings in this project is the IT PM, who has never had a plan, only a go live date, with no acceptance of what is required to get there, and no idea of his own.

IT PM's are rubbish!

Morning all

Wet n cloudy and quite a bit windy too.

Gone a bit Simpsonesque out, and there's clear evidence of sunshine

[NickFitz]

Pâté on toast (wholemeal) for lunch

It may look sunny out, but there's a right chilly breeze out there too

Most odd, all displayed ok until I replied. Now the last few don't.

Known bugs. Some emoji won't display properly because they're made of multiple emoji joined together with Zero Width Joiner; for example, Information Desk Woman is actually Information Desk Person|ZWJ|Female Sign. But PHP can't cope with ZWJ-combined emoji, so it'd show here as two separate emoji separated by an asterisk: ?*♀️

And then there's the JavaScript for the WYSIWYG editor, which completely messes up various kinds of Unicode, not just emoji, when it tries to convert the text that came from the server (which is OK pace the PHP complex emoji bug) into text in the editor

X5 home.

Very very jerky as if the throttle (which, being diesel it hasn't got) had two positions, Shut and Wide Open.

It made for an interesting half an hour.

Tea/dinner was lentil <pffffft> soup as is only right & proper on a Thursday.

I made this batch back in November. .

It had matured quite nicely.

This evening's epic is to be "Rio Grande" starring Duke Wayne, and being the 3rd of the three John Ford Cavalry films.

Rio Grande (1950) - IMDb

It also stars the rather more recently late Maureen O'Hara at a toothsome stage of her existence.

There's a lot of singing, which is never terribly good in a Western.

Never forget "Singing Sandy".

Not, I think, as good as the first two, it would have been better without the singing.

Curious.

The test thingie was showing correctly until now, whereupon it went completely & utterly tits up.

Maybe it's because I logged in again.

Or something.
