I don't know. fish and chip it never did sound like a good combo.

I wonder if it's the tiredness which is making me so fighty tonight.
Matthew would normally be in bed by now, but has the week off. So isn't.
Think I'm going to camp out in the livingroom tonight. Dan hasn't slept for more than 5 hours in weeks, and he's been snoring away for getting on seven hours now. I'm not mean enough to creep into bed and risk waking him up.

I did do a computer back in the late 80's that managed the temperature of 19 rooms of a fruit warehouse the size of a football pitch to an accuracy of a half degree centigrade above the freezing point of the fruit. A different temperature in each room depending on what fruit was in it.
Total value of fruit several million quid.
Did the system ever freeze?

Occasionally we got some damaged fruit if they were racked too close to the cooler fans, but otherwise no.
With £millions at stake I was a VERY careful programmer.
And the whole darn system was implemented in 16 kilobytes (not Megabytes or Gigabytes) of ROM with 2 kilobytes of RAM.
Ellie is getting her new cast tomorrow and doesn't know what colour to get.
You can get different colours?
No wonder the NHS is in trouble if they're blowing the budget on coloured casts! I'd go for blue
I've been approached to pitch for a 32 page annual report which would earn up to £7500 (or thereabouts) for 3 months work. Also over the weekend I was told that I have been recommended to do some design work for a group of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) businesses in the States.
Nothing certain of course as I could get none of the business but these are the first opportunities put my way in a while.
Oh, and that CD retrospective project I suggested seems to have gone cold - I've sent a chaser email to see if they still want to speak to me.

I saw 3 snails drinking a spilled can of Special Brew in the shade.
I envied them.

Don't forget about his sterling work as an amateur samaritan when he deterred jumpers from suicide bridge by throwing old cans up at them
