Is Scrambled Maps broken?

Seems to be OK now

Is Scrambled Maps broken?

I haven't looked yet - I'll be checking it in a few minutes

Tea has been oniony chicken casserole with chips and peas

And this was accompanied by yet more fare dodgers. None of them ever seem to come up with anything original. Then again, I suppose of they did, they wouldn't get caught

Another day done

There wasn't much going on really. We tidied up a couple of loose ends on the thing we've been doing, then set it loose on a test server for the end users to check. I spent the last hour or so of the day updating the accessibility statement. This was, of course, provided in Word format, so I had to pull all the text out and go through it to manually mark it up as HTML like it was 1997

It remained fairly bright until around lunchtime, but it's properly clouded over now

Afternoon all
;wave:

on the last week now, nearly done.
Kipper with horseradish, bread and butter for lunch.
nutritious and delicious
quite balmy out today, too.
very pleasant.

Lunch has been a cold sausage bap (white)

I wasn't going to have sausages for the third day in a row, but they involved minimal effort

Morning.

Monday.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blue sky.

Chilly in here at 17 deg, 15.5 in the kitchen, 13.5 in the leanto, 8.6 in the saltinghouse.

1020 mBar, 30.12 in Hg, 765.1 Torr, 14.794 psi, (up from 1019 last night), 58% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 20th of February 2020 AndyGarbs and BR14 popped in, the status of Edward VIII was refined re George VI, WTFH explained the deletions in the Doctor Who thread.

Washing frenzy in progress.

Walk (towpath, unabbreviated) walked in the sunshine. No butterflies on the ivy flowers.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: R4 book thing. Noon o'clock news. Y&Y <click>

Those items requiring the iRon have received it & are airing upstairs.

Minor potching with the mains feed down to the garage: the 20mm supports replaced by 22 mm supports to test the theory that the conduit will do better if it's free to slide when the sun's out.

The newly acquired battery strimmer has strimmed parental and grandparental graves reasonably successfully. This is an addition to the two strimmers (mains) that I already possess. .

Washing frenzy complete.

Tea: Mr Brains faggots with peas & suchlike. Nice enough.

Entertainment: The kitchen cabinet. PM. <click>

"The Desert Fox (1951)" James Mason as Erwin Rommel. Naturally enough the Septics did all the fighting.

The Oak Island bollox is on at 21:00.

JFK. The Truth is Out There. . Probly in the same folder as Epstein's client list. .

Morning denizens

It's a sunny start with a clear blue sky, though apparently that'll all go to pot by about 9am and it'll be cloudy, or at least partly cloudy, for the rest of the day. Cool start at 6°C but it'll soar all the way to 16° later. The barometers are already soaring, being up to 1014/1022mB

[NickFitz]

Didn't do much today, but I watched a few Apple Developer videos to get a better idea of all the moving parts in RealityKit, and how they're supposed to fit together

Monday again tomorrow. It's sprint end/start week so there'll be lots of meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday; tomorrow will probably just be finishing off what we've been working on - though there's a good chance the other dev will have already done that when she was left in peace on Friday

Goodnight all

Tea has been Turkish leftovers

To go with this, a further episode of the Netflix thing about people in London and its environs being hideously injured then patched back up

I gave the duvet an extra half-hour, so 3½ hours total, and I think it may be done! It feels properly dry for the most part but there are some bits that still feel slightly damp, probably because they were folded into the middle or something. So I've taken it out and draped it over the clotheshorse, in the hall near the radiator. I'm hoping that airing will now be enough for the last bits of damp, which really are very slight, to dry out

[NickFitz]

I've never washed a duvet: am I a slut? Just askin' like. .

I haven't either, or hadn't until I washed the one-third one the other week! But my researches indicated that the two-thirds one (9 tog, I think) is just about within the limits of what the machine (which has a nominal capacity of 8kg wash and 5kg dry) can handle so I thought I'd give it a go

The washing succeeded and the drying is going well. As expected, it'll take a while though. The "Down-filled items" programme doesn't do any automatic assessment of how dry the stuff is like most of them; you have to set a duration. They recommend starting with a fairly short duration and checking after each run, to work out how long a particular item takes. Currently, we're in the third hour for this duvet and I suspect it'll take at least one more, and maybe even longer. With the one-third one, I didn't dry it enough initially, and sleeping under a slightly damp and clammy duvet is very unpleasant so I'll try to get this one right

[NickFitz]

Lunch: a sausage bap (white) again, as the rest of the sausages needed to be cooked. Still very nice, and there's a couple of cold sausages for lunch later in the week

This was accompanied by an Apple Developer video. I'd been mucking around working out how to get useful debug information out of RealityKit, but it turns out there's an excellent RealityKit debugger built into Xcode!
