I am now exhausted - about to go to bed.

don't forget the negligee

I wont

See ye tomorrow

[NickFitz]

I must look that up in the tpd annals sometime

Good job I've indexed it then

[NickFitz]

Nope, a quick rootle around in the debugger reveals that it's due to some kind of fundamental brokenness - as what I'm doing is basically straight out of the docs, I blame them

Luckily, one of them will be in tomorrow, so he can at least confirm that it's not my fault, or explain whatever magic incantation hasn't made into the docs yet

Turns out the expert, after I took him through a debugging session to establish how the framework was behaving, also thought it was a bug, or at least a misfeature

He's put removal of this brokenness forward as a suggested change to the other core developers on the product, so we might see some action

In the meantime, he was able to figure out how to get it working, but then again he is one of the creators of it

[NickFitz]

If it ain't broken dont fix it.

You are undoing the good work of all your technical posts...

The problem was that it worked, but it didn't actually do what was required. So I didn't do any harm by totally breaking it, as it was useless already

[NickFitz]

if you feel old, then I must feel even older

sounds interesting, but I won't ask you to share the experience

It's here

[NickFitz]

Nah - it's old hat on here....

Those were the days

[NickFitz]

I am sure they have heard it before

Yes, here

[NickFitz]

I thought ye all remembered that....

Don't worry, it's on the record
