Watching some ghost story nonsense on iPlayer. It being that time of year and all that.

[NickFitz]

Got the news section of the sidebar updating again too!

Well, I've got it to update once; I'll have to wait for them to publish some more news to be sure it's working properly

[NickFitz]

Just switched the forum software's system cache to use memcache instead of the database. Let me know if anything even more obviously stupid than usual happens

Tea has been lamb steaks with chips and beans

[NickFitz]

Just ordered the new Mac Mini with all the options turned up to the max

Lunch: pâté on white bloomer toast, again because there's enough for two lunches in the pack and it expired today

Managed to do some actual coding this morning. But now - well, at 13:00 - we've got the fortnightly "retrospective", to which I shall most likely have nothing much to contribute

I just hauled Henry out of his cupboard and gave the hall a quick go over as there's a fire safety flat door inspection tomorrow, so I need to avoid the shame of letting a stranger see any stray bits of fluff on the floor

This inspection was supposed to happen about six months ago, but nobody knocked that time, so I assume it got rescheduled. Anyway, they just want to be sure I've still got the fire door that was installed about six years ago and haven't compromised its integrity by knocking holes in the inside or whatever, so far as I understand

Morning all

Dull and damp start to the day but it seems to be brightening up a bit. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 16 expected. No further rain forecast. Barometer up a smidge to 1023 mBar.

ConsultancyCo has hired a permanent person, due to start in January, which I think will definitely mark the death knell of my engagement with them. Clock's a ticking to get another role lined up.

Morning.

Tuesday.

Damply dry.

Wanly sunny.

Chilly in here at 16.8 deg, 17 deg in the kitchen, 14.5 deg in the leanto.

1019.5 mBar, 30.1 in Hg, 764.68 Torr, 14.786 psi, (up from 1017 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 25th of November 2019 there was much discussion of foods for tea, whereas Brillo was comforting some young lady on a bridge somewhere.

Morning all
Misty out, but at least it wasn't raining.

Morning denizens

Grey start again, but relatively mild again: 11°C now, leading on to 15° later. The barometers seem fairly positive too, being up slightly to 1011/1019mB

The bin wagon (grey bins) has just passed by

[NickFitz]

I finished Falling. Good thriller

Tomorrow, the people I've been shadowing have a lot of meetings, so I get to write some code while they're doing that. Makes a nice change

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

Tea has been KFC leftovers

Accompanied by a new episode of the Gloucestershire plod, who appear to spend about 80% of their night shifts dealing with drunken idiots outside W H Smiths on the High Street in Cheltenham

[NickFitz]

Back to the situation where the living room light, which is programmed to come on fifteen minutes before sunset, is already on when I finish work

[xoggoth]

Tank de lawd I ain't feeling tired like yesterday. Just been round to visit me housebound neighbour. Ate too many biscuits!

[NickFitz]

Pâté on white bloomer toast for lunch

It continues grey and a tad murky here
