Getting There

I have nearly won. The flash work is nearly done - just need to remove a couple of development marks and add the help system, and I'll be finished. I need to wait for the help text before I can start adding that though, so I'll have some time to catch up on the other work that has been waiting for my attention.

The current plan looks like the rest of this week will be spent creating a new website for a client, and at the weekend I will try to come up with a name for my CMS ...

We're Moving To Cheltenham!

Leela had a phone call today - she has been offered a job in a hospital in Cheltenham!

We went up at the start of the week; she had her interview and I had a look around. It looks like a nice place. I'd been up there once before for a meeting, but had literally just driven straight to their office and back out to the M5 again. It was good to have a wander round - I felt horribly lost, but managed to find the same car park twice, so it can't be too bad. Leela finishes her pre-reg ...

There Are People In My Flat, and other short stories

Once upon a time, I was sitting at my computer minding my own business when the front door opened, some people wandered in, and started walking around my flat. That time was about 5 minutes ago, and they're still here now.

I refer, of course, to an estate agent and potential buyers of the flat, and to be fair I opened the door and let them in, so it's all legal and above board. However, things appear to be moving rather quicker than I had ...

Weekend Adventures

Several things happened this weekend. First we got an e-mail from our landlord saying he was selling the flat. That made me kinda nervous, since we were planning to stay here for 4 more months. I rang him up and he said he'd try to make sure we could stay until July as agreed, so that's nice - I'd hate to try to find somewhere to rent for a month or two, because it clearly just wouldn't happen.

On Saturday morning I wrote a small Eliza bot for PGPlus, in perl. They do already exist, but this ...

Searchy Fun

I've just added a search feature to my diary, at radiac.net/search. You can stick something after that to search the diary for something, ie /search/foo. The GET form has to submit to /search/?s=foo - I'm not loving that little difference, but that's just the price of a GET, isn't it.

I don't really expect anyone to use it, but it should save me a lot of time when I want to link to an old entry. I was going to put up a 'recently searched' list, but then I remembered I ...
