I think I’ll turn the router off and on again and see if that helps

It did! Everything’s back!

Though I then had to go and tell all the things that know how to use the 4G backup network that they should switch back to the proper one

Lunch has been some leftover bits and bobs

I suspect there’s something weird going on with my broadband router, as things which were quite happy on the wifi are suddenly unable to connect. I spent much of the morning going line-by-line through the rep system so I can replicate it, and carefully documented my observations. I decided it would be worth printing them out for reference and jotting of notes in the margins, and suddenly the printer can’t be found. It seems happy enough in itself, and its wifi light is on, but it no longer appears - not even in a tool I have for scanning devices on the network, which reveals all kinds of details about lightbulbs and so on but can’t see the printer at all

I think I’ll turn the router off and on again and see if that helps

Morning.

Wednesday.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

NotSoChilly in here at 14.7 deg, 15.5 in the kitchen, 13 in the leanto.

1018 mBar, 30.06 in Hg, 763.6 Torr, 14.765 psi, (unchanged), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 25th of March 2020 Brillo popped in A Lot, with NF, LondonManc, and vetran getting a word in edgeways.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the sunshine & cold wind. Leather jacket today, so warmer than yesterday, actually raised a gentle glow after 3 miles or so & had to unzip jacket to cool down a bit.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: Y&Y waffling on about fake product review ads that lead inevitably to cheap chinese plastic crap vacuum cleaners. <click>

Morning all
A beautiful sunrise with no breeze, but an hour into our walk and the wind has returned.

Morning denizens

It’s a sunny start again, and the wind has settled down a bit - though it’ll be back later. It’s currently 8°C (“feels like” 5°) and aiming for 16°, while the barometers are trivially up at 1016/1024mB

I awoke somewhat betimes today due to having raised the blind a little too high which let the sunlight in. I was able to ignore this for a while by turning my back on the window, but after a bit I figured I might as well get up and make the most of the day

Morning all

Clear sky with occasional wisps. Currently 6 degrees ('feels like' 3) with a high of 16 expected. Barometer down again to 1025 mBar.

Sunrise 05:51; Sunset 20:10 BST

On my way to clientCo office. Technically the route isn't affected by strike action but I expect it to be busy.

Tonight, I read more of I Am Legend. He’s starting to work things out, when he can manage to stop drinking for a while

I also spent a while having a dig through the source code for the forum (vB4 and vB5) to get an idea of how rep works

It’s my birthday tomorrow! Not sure whether or is the more appropriate smiley now

Goodnight all

[xoggoth]

Back from visit to me old uni mate and his missus in Rye. V nice, historic old town. Free day tomorrow.

[DoctorStrangelove]

lamb steaks, of course. I’m not cooking labradors, or not yet

A dog is for dinner, not just for Xmas. . .

[NickFitz]

Tea has been lab steaks with chips and beans

And to go with this, a bit of new Traffic Cops

No laundry done. But I did do a load of user story writing ready for the new starter indoctrination tomorrow.

Wind seems to have gotten up and there's more cloud about.

I’ve made it to the end of the importer! Every single one of the twenty-odd steps has been checked and gone through line-by-line, and seems OK

Now I need to add some additional steps, as it doesn’t deal with a few things. It doesn’t bring in the default user titles for some reason, though it checks users for custom titles and gets them, and it also doesn’t import the naughty words filter that gives us “tulip” and the like. But those things are straightforward compared to some of the other stuff, and I’ve now got a pretty detailed understanding of the best way to go about them

Oh, and it doesn’t know about thanks/likes as we understand them, because they're done by a plugin. It looks pretty straightforward to bring them over as well, as it already has a system for them

And in the background, I’ve also been getting some bedding washed

Clear blue sky here now
