Just a little radical?
They said it would never happen...

Well, really, they didn't, 'cos most people couldn't care less. But I've finally started re-coding my websites, after a couple of year's negligence, into something resembling modern, object-oriented code. Critically, I've broken the back of the "does nothing yet" hurdle that was making it hard to advance in small steps.
As yet it's classic TDD code, in that it's full of massive simplifications that I can enhance later. Plus I have the advantage of already having a full-populated site database as well as the old admin tools.
This time I'll be coding much more minimally (as per TDD) - what's needed now, not "what someone else might like later".
Much easier with a laptop that doesn't feel like you're peering into a letterbox to code.

1) Climbing was good tonight - not that either of us (me even less) was at our most graceful, partly due to some rather creative route setting and even more inventive grading. Still, it's fun just to hang out and relax, and it all slowly leads to improved technique and strength.
All the tubes were actually running on the way back, too, which helped.
2) Having got the nabaztag at least partly operational at work (reliably, easy API in our codebase ($bunny->setEarPos(naba::EAR_POS_HZT,naba::EAR_POS_HZT), $bunny->say("Your code sucks")), still waiting from the remote API to be unblocked), I've developed the disturbing habit of referring to it as "the new team member" and responding to it. But I was never that sane to start with.
3) I'm assuming the surveyor actually turned up, as *today's* note was that the gasman needs to come while I'm at work on Wendesday. So I guess I'll be tidying the place again tomorrow night - just *about* finished the unpacking.
4) My parents, on hearing I'm upgrading to a new Mac lappy, have offered the old one a home. I feel I've taught them well, but I'm keeping the powerbook as it's extremely portable & convenient.
5) Sleep now. Didn't quite get enough last night, due to a nasty resurgence of the cold on Sunday and a coughing fit at 5am this morning. Plus the f'ing 8am meeting, although people were clearly listening to me and paying attention. Just have to make sure I don't end up running the place...

"CIRCLE LINE (ANTI-CLOCKWISE): Minor delays are occurring due to lack of available trains."
OK, *how* do they manage to lose them? And what ratio of spares do they have? And why is it always the Circle?
ETA: Oh, no delays now... I presume they found more trains, possibly down the back of the sofa?
(Viccy's got Signal failure instead. *Don't* get me started on the "functional redundancy" rant)
