Mudskipper is the MX5 owner round here - LM has the decent Nissan sports car - as she is a Fairlady

Another request for the new forum:

Can we have updated phrases under the avatars - I'm a bit bored of "I live on CUK" and "ladymuck has reached the peak. Play again?"

Our former administrator used to accept requests for custom titles, but I don't know if the new people will! But the stock ones are based on post count and haven't been extended to the dizzy heights some have now reached for many years, so I'll see if I can get some new ones in there to give us something to strive for

The "reached the peak" one is based on rep and, again, needs some new levels adding. Moving rep across is going to be interesting as that was done by a plugin, and the new system has something similar. But if it doesn't seem right, I'll just have to replicate the existing rep system! Good job I have all the source code for this stuff sitting around somewhere

Morning people.
another day, another dollar.
feeling very boomtown rattish today.

[ladymuck]

Morning all

Overcast but not too dull. Damp. Currently 14 degrees with a high of 16 expected. Will remain cloudy all day with a chance of rain early evening. Barometer up to 1011 mBar.

Sunrise 06:59; Sunset 16:30 GMT

Many meetings today. I think I need to find a new gig as I'm bored of this one. A friend at ClientCo was surprised at how long this current stint has lasted.

Very grumpy at the way the GB pound is performing against the US dollar. My USD invoices with otherClientCo are not worth as much as two months ago. I may need to renegotiate my rate if I'm extended into 2026. EDIT: What a complete load of nonsense that was. The rate has moved in my favour

Morning.

Monday.

Grey.

Dark.

Dank.

Dreary.

Drizzly.

Windy.

Sunless.

Chilly in here at 16.4 deg, 15.5 in the kitchen, 14 in the leanto.

1005 mBar, 29.6776 in Hg, 753.8 Torr, 14.576 psi, (down from 1006 last night), 64% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 27th of February 2020 Brillo popped in a lot, LM disagreed with him over some comestible, NF remembered to put the bins out, and so did LM.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: someone waffling about tax followed by someone waffling about history. <click>

Morning all
It wasn't raining on our walk, but it is now. Blowing an absolute hooley at the back of the house, but it was sheltered and warm (12C) on the walk.
All play bin day, and they are just picking up our black bin now.

Morning denizens

It’s a rainy start out, having been a rainy night - so much so that it woke me up at one point. Apparently milder with it at 12°C, though it “feels like” 5° because it’s also windy; the expected high is 12°. The barometers are up a touch at 996/1003mB

[NickFitz]

I found time for a bit more mucking around with CoreGraphics stuff this evening. Points can now be labelled with their coordinates

And in Ambient, things are about to get complicated

Monday again tomorrow! Oh well

Goodnight all

[NickFitz]

That could work!

I’d been thinking for a while that it would be useful, but it would have been a nightmare to add to the present incarnation. I reckon it shouldn’t be too complicated with the new platform

[ladymuck]

How about a “Go to date” feature? Useful for TPD, and the Dead Celebrities thread is getting a bit big now too. People might like being able to see who died on this day x years ago and so on

That could work!

[ladymuck]

Oh and the bed has been made. There will be no nasty surprises at bedtime.
