A developer has created a flat file for me that then goes to another system. It's a .txt file. A flat file, no commas, no delimiters, all data is aligned to be in a particular location on each line.
The other system is managed by one of Murthy's finest.
He has complained that one of the "fields" is formatted as a number.
New one on me that a flat text file contains formatting for characters in particular locations.
The mattress is airing, as I feel that my efforts to eject the government this morning should be rewarded by clean sheets at such time as I finally get around to going to bed tonight
Looks bright and dry out. Currently 13 degrees with a high of 19 expected. No rain forecast.
Arrived without incident, landing just after 6am following the need to circle over Epsom waiting for the airport to open. Transfer nonsense done and have been relaxing in the Concorde Room waiting for the flight up to Glasgow. The aircraft is coming in from Bologna and isn't due in until 0915.
The cabin crew only get one night in Barbados but the flight crew get two nights. Our pilots had four nights because of Beryl but the cabin crew arrived the day the airport reopened.
Indeed! I'm off to the Hindu temple round the corner (well, three corners) to vote shortly, returning home via the bakery where I shall treat myself to a bacon cob as a reward for doing my civic duty
Sunny start, though not for the Conservative and Unionist Party, on whom the sun is already setting. Currently 11°C and expected to reach 18°, but getting a bit blustery too. The barometers are down a touch more at 996/1003mB
Cool in here at 19.0 deg, 20 deg in the kitchen, 17.5 deg in the leanto.
1006 mBar, 29.707 in Hg, 754.56 Torr, 14.59 psi, (untapped but looked like 1004 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 65% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 16th of October 2019 WTFH was waiting for a Social Marketeer whatever that is, whereas NF was watching yet more S5 eps of Breaking Bad before going to bed "early", while I was ranting about some prog with Michael Portillo & assorted scum, in particular ******* Farage and Bliar stating that I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire, an opinion that's failed to change since then, on the 17th it proved to be fragrant in with the hoi polloi in the library.
I'm off down to that Swansea later to join a mothers meeting of s at Ye Newe Sloughe of Desponde down by Ye Dockes. I feel sure I'll catch yet another version of the chinese plague, either on the bus or in the caff.
Mothers' meeting done. X7 down, T6 back. Free coffee had. More John LeCarre books purchased in the endless search to have a complete set to read again, though half of them I've never heard of since they were written after the wall came down.
Still haven't found "A small town in Germany" or "The night manager".
Looked in Oxfam and they didn't have "Foundation" but did have the other two: "& Empire" and "Second", both of which I have along with the doors stops he wrote later.
Lunch: beans on toast etc.
Following on from the demise of the kettle, and the demise of the motherboard sound on the pc, the toaster now seems to be getting temperamental.
Entertainment: some distopian play on R4 about "Olivia", being some sort of AI Siri type thing.
