ah yes, that was what the road was missing, a large inflatable father Christmas… classy…
sod off! – May warns ‘web snooping’ critics
always knew today was going to be a long day. Apparently people like me are the reasons developers are not normally allowed to talk to clients… because I tell the truth and try to work to the goal of completing something the client wants… How quaint.

OK this brings it home a little bit more… I know the lady talking about her pub in the video on this page: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20490999 I worked on her website and we had our work Christmas lunch there a few years ago. Really very sad. – Flood fears as storm heads north
another ballroom lesson down. Glad to see we remembered almost nothing from last time. a trip through flooded Cornwall followed by an attempt at lunch so poor even the dog didn’t look that sure it was OK to eat… Ah well, F1 for this afternoon, what could go wrong…
oh Firefox must you keep updating version numbers… You just broke my favourite extension for the sake of a single number…
let me out of this hell hole and give me a weekend…
well it seems North Devon flooded again… Worst I have seen
Happy Thanksgiving American and token American friends… We may have to have turkey in your honour or something….
OK… I admit I’m an idiot for not realising the tax ran out on my car…. but good god the DVLA doesn’t know it’s left hand from its right. Foolishly I thought when I updated my address with the DVLA for my licence they would be so kind as to update it for the car and send the reminder to the right address… They just told me on the phone the two departments “do not communicate”… Why?
has had a sleepy weekend but was good to see Elkanah Arthur and baby Lena… even if she likes a slightly different sleeping pattern to the rest of us….

don’t forget to vote today… not because there is a good reason to vote for anything, but to stop the crazies getting any power…
After recently writing about how I’m not always sure energy saving is always worth it I was reminded of an example of someone getting it very very wrong.
Several years ago when living in Brighton I was in a Superdrug store. It was the middle of the summer and it was pretty warm outside. They had signs up at the entrance to the store saying their air conditioning was not working and they were sorry for the heat.
Inside the store is was absolutely roasting, much hotter than outside. Around the store they had portable air conditioning units spread all over the place. Probably about 10 in total.
The real kicker though was these units did not have external exhausts. So while pushing cold air out the front they were pushing hot air out the back. What I love about this is with the extra heat generated by the device itself unless my basic understanding of physics is wrong they were actually spending a huge amount of money heating the place.
