I found it sometimes got stuck when playing on Safari, I just went for the standard IT solution: close down web page, close Safari, reboot machine. That worked most of the time for me.

I got an email from him late last night so I checked on Chrome and Firefox, where it worked. Then I tried on Safari in a Private Browsing window, and that worked too. I then cleared the cache, but a normal Safari window still didn't work. So I advanced the hypothesis that there's something in the data held in local storage (or a cookie, but that's unlikely) that's incompatible with some recent change he made

Editing to add: I just went and checked my MBA while waiting for a container image to build, and it's working again in Safari! He said he might roll back to a build from a few days ago, so maybe that's why. Or maybe he found and fixed it, or maybe it was just Safari being weird

The forecast is now for heavy rain from around 16:00 turning to heavy snow between 18:00 and 19:00, so I decided to pop down to Not-as-Big Sainsbury's in my lunch break

Lunch has therefore not been completed yet as it was time to get back to work once I'd returned and put everything away - I'm snacking on some cold cocktail sausages while investigating yet another bug reported this morning

Morning.

Thursday.

Damp.

Grey.

Sunless.

Flat calm.

Chilly in here at 11.8 deg, 8.5 in the kitchen, 6 in the leanto.

1000 mBar, 29.53 in Hg, 750 Torr, 14.5 psi, (down from 1003 last night), 58% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 10th of March 2020 WTFH, LM, covbob, and DaveB popped in, with covbob missing a call from a pimp due to a comfort break, whilst I watched the commentary on "Their Finest Hour" after reading yet more of "Bright Shining Lie", whereas NF still had a lurgy and LM was going out to the theatre later.

Raining.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: something on R4 waffling on about kinema.

Morning all

Dull. Overcast. Damp. Mizzle. Currently 3 degrees with a high of 6 expected. Barometer steady at 1005 mBar.

Sunrise 08:05; Subset 16:11 GMT

In the office today. Roads busy. Not helped by what looked like a major accident on the A4 that closed two lanes.

Scrambled Maps is broken on Safari. It broke last night but still isn’t fixed, and I remembered the chap doesn’t have a Mac. So I’ve dropped him an email with the error messages I found in the console

I’m having to play it on Chrome instead. Hope he fixes it soon

Morning denizens

It’s a bit cloudy out, and there’s even a hint of mist in the air. It’s non-freezing again though, having stayed at 1°C all night up to now, with 3° expected by lunchtime. The barometers are up a touch at 992/1000mB, though I expect they’ll drop soon as the approaching storm moves in. That’s promising “severe weather” from this evening onwards, with snow predicted to arrive around 18:00 and continue through the night

This leaves me in a bit of a quandary when it comes to the shopping. I had thought of going this evening after work to avoid the snow, as that may rule out going tomorrow, but that was when the snow wasn’t expected until later tonight. As it’s now predicted to show up at teatime, I might pop along to Not-as-Big Sainsbury’s at lunchtime as I know it’s possible to get there and back in an hour. I wouldn’t be able to get Viz, but I won’t have enough time to go all the way to Big during the day, so I’ll have to leave that until next week

[WTFH]

Morning all

Overcast and a balmy 6C out with no breeze.

[NickFitz]

I watched the rest of yesterday’s Traffic Cops whilst dining, which turns out to be the last of that - until the inevitable next series

And tonight I read some more of The Confessions of Samuel Pepys, who continues to be reprehensible. This reminded me that yesterday was the 363rd anniversary of him complaining that his wife had left a bundle of clothes in a carriage, the equivalent of leaving stuff in a taxi but with less hope of getting it back. But having criticised her, he then admits that actually, she’d given the things to him to look after! But he reckons it’s still her fault for not making sure he didn’t leave them behind

Thursday tomorrow!

Goodnight all

Tea has been a couple of spicy roast chicken thighs with chips and ketchup

The chicken bits have been in the freezer for ages because I kept forgetting to do anything with them; I took them out to thaw last night so I could squeeze the turkey soup in. They roasted up nicely though

[ladymuck]

I decided to watch S13E1 of The Curse of Oak Island - a 2 hour double bill! They found ... a blue bead, a bit of lead shot and mud. Some bloke turned up with an old Portuguese coin claiming it came from the Money Pit donkeys years ago.

Then, for something more grounded in reality, I am watching the first episode of Critical: Between Life and Death.

Ran ghastly old ll3 to a U3A talk about sheep or something, didn't stay for the talk meself, I'm not a fan of sitting for ages listening to stuff, so went for walk and picked her up before a mince pie and tea. Usual nice old ladies I know there, just 1 bloke I'm acquainted with.

They were running a bit late, but once I got in they decided I don’t need anything doing.

They were wrong, my online tooth sensor shows me you need a filling. Send me £500 and I will email it to you.

Lunch: a hot dog, with a German frankfurter plus curry ketchup and crispy onions

The trip to the dentist went OK. I was able to find a parking space round the corner, which doesn’t always happen. They were running a bit late, but once I got in they decided I don’t need anything doing
