    Lunch was a cold sausage bap (white)

    Before that, I spent a couple of hours dealing with the post import process on the new forum software. Turns out there are a few tricky bits to do with ensuring quotes in posts are updated to point back to the source correctly, and one or two...

    Morning denizens

    The rainy part of the storm has moved on in the night and though it’s still very windy, the sun is shining as the cirrostratus recedes to the east. It’s 5°C but “feels like” -4°, and the expected high for the day is only 9°. The barometers are down to...

    It’s been raining extremely heavily here. Eased off slightly now but still going, and it’s still very windy too

    I read some more of The Three-Body Problem tonight

    Friday tomorrow! And with the shopping done today, I only have one or two errands to run, picking...

    Another week done!

    Lunch was very late, as I nipped up to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s for such bits as I needed and by the time I got back, the other dev was ready to start looking at some stuff. So I worked with her on that until we both got bored determined, in our professional opinions,...

    Morning denizens

    It’s a cloudy sort of start again and going to be pretty windy all day, with rain expected this evening. It’s 8°C but “feels like” -2°, with an expected high of 12° that presumably won’t feel much better. The barometers are down some more at 997/1005mB...

    I managed some productive meddling around with SwiftUI during the evening

    And I read some more of The Three-Body Problem

    Thursday tomorrow!

    It’s our Tech Debt day. There’s some stuff the PM wants us to focus on, which the other dev has...

    Lunch has been a cold chicken leg

    It was supposed to get quite gloomy here but if it did, I missed it. It’s tending towards the Simpsonesque out there now. Still very breezy though

    The daffodils in the central flowerbed have bloomed

    Morning denizens

    Sunny start with some cloud, but it’s starting to cloud over. There was some rain and quite a high wind last night and it’s still a bit breezy, so the current 7°C “feels like” 1°; the expected high is 11°. The barometers are down to 994/1002mB ...

    I managed a bit more SwiftUI tinkering earlier

    And in The Three-Body Problem, the plot thickens

    Goodnight all

    Another day done, and half the working week out of the way

    Having spent much of yesterday and this morning trying to deal with one last small detail that was messing up the three impossible things I got working last week, I finally cracked it this afternoon!

    It’s rather Simpsonesque out now, though it still seems to be a bit chilly, judging by the fresh air coming from the open kitchen window

    Morning denizens

    The weather app insists it’s cloudy out, but in reality there’s quite a lot of cirrus and cirrostratus with plentiful gaps of blue sky between, so it’s actually sunny right now with occasional brief spells of shade. Apparently it’s going to get windy, leading...

    I read more of The Three-Body Problem, which I’m enjoying - the story seems to be developing in an interesting direction

    And I also got a bit of SwiftUI stuff working that I’d thought would be more complicated than it turned out to be

    Goodnight all ...

    Tea: lamb steaks with chips and beans

    This was accompanied by the final part of the Netflix thing about Three Mile Island. The capitalists got their way, as usual
