Morning all

Overcast but not too dull. Damp. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 16 expected. Will remain cloudy all day with a chance of rain early evening. Barometer up to 1011 mBar.

Sunrise 06:59; Sunset 16:30 GMT

Many meetings today. I think I need to find a new gig as I'm bored of this one. A friend at ClientCo was surprised at how long this current stint has lasted.

Very grumpy at the way the GB pound is performing against the US dollar. My USD invoices with otherClientCo are not worth as much as two months ago. I may need to renegotiate my rate if I'm extended into 2026. EDIT: What a complete load of nonsense that was. The rate has moved in my favour

Morning people.
another day, another dollar.
feeling very boomtown rattish today.

Another request for the new forum:

Can we have updated phrases under the avatars - I'm a bit bored of "I live on CUK" and "ladymuck has reached the peak. Play again?"

Our former administrator used to accept requests for custom titles, but I don't know if the new people will! But the stock ones are based on post count and haven't been extended to the dizzy heights some have now reached for many years, so I'll see if I can get some new ones in there to give us something to strive for

The "reached the peak" one is based on rep and, again, needs some new levels adding. Moving rep across is going to be interesting as that was done by a plugin, and the new system has something similar. But if it doesn't seem right, I'll just have to replicate the existing rep system! Good job I have all the source code for this stuff sitting around somewhere

Mudskipper is the MX5 owner round here - LM has the decent Nissan sports car - as she is a Fairlady

and since thanks/likes etc are off on the busiest thread here, that'll be moot.

rice rockets (and cars) all look the same to me.
