That darn cat
I don't know if it's that she misses the scrum that used to characterise feeding time, but Jemima has got into the habit of attracting attention, then going to her bowl and eating (and purring a bit). And repeating if we go away.

Flaming Weather
An intermittently sunny morning, with the forecast of being dry for a change. Still didn't fancy cycling into the stiff chill nor-westerly wind.
This quarter's weather has been put on back to front, I think.

My life is on Google
Rather than just put all my Demon-hosted content back as is, it's a good time to refresh my web presence.
I've put a lot of the proto-bloggy cat-blog material into one blog; and my updates of my code-project GeoCities site into another.
And I've moved some of the code archives onto GeoCities UK for the moment, giving chance for a whole new look and feel of web design. I shall keep it small and simple, to get the design (especially the not-yet-written JavaScript environment) before doing a mass upload of many pages.

The open road
Cycling to work from having running repairs done to the tooth that was playing up at the start of the year (bits falling off now), it was a lovely morning for ambling along the Coton footpath (dodging the hedge cutting), and then on to the old main road.
Were it not for the 3 bits of single-lane roadworks it would have been marvellously quiet cycling. As it was, one was a dismount and push; and the other two too long for me to get through before the lights changed at the other end. And with string between cones, not easy to just nip out of the way of oncoming traffic.
Will be good when the works are all done.

Long day
Woken about 04:30 by having to help Karen to the bathroom, by 05:00 I gave up the unequal struggle and admitted that in the morning light, I was awake; so fired up the laptop and fiddled a bit with the blog, setting up Google Reader and tapping aggregations from that.
I wasn't the only one active at that time -- one of the UK blogs produced a flurry of posts at about 05:20.
On the road by 07:00, at the office by 07:50 for Bike-to-Work Day, and breakfasted copiously; then showered, and with the rest of the team, hit the road down to Chalfont. Going A1/M25, with stop/start traffic from junctions 19-21, it took 2h15. On the return, starting at 15:30 went A413, through Wendover to Tring, B488, A505, A5, A4012, A421, A428 took the same, even with a stop for petrol, and unusually slow traffic between the M1 and Bedford.
In the garden, about 30 minutes ago, just enjoying the slow twilight, I was taken by surprise by a hedgehog crossing the property, and disappearing under the fence.

Post # 666
The makeover has happened, as you can see.
Based on the Jellyfish template, with a little bit of beating into shape.
And with the new widget for archives, not before time -- the old month-by-month was getting a bit vast after 4 years.

Escaping from Gilligan's Island -- or should that be "the Village"? A timely reminder of Steve McConnell's list of classic development process mistakes. How many of these can you see if you look around you?

Getting CardSpace tokens programmatically
Silverlight, Javascript, Controls, Design -- reports from the London .Net User's group
What's your programming personality? -- My result is:
Your programmer personality type is:
DLSB
You're a Doer.
You are very quick at getting tasks done. You believe the outcome is the most
important part of a task and the faster you can reach that outcome the better.
After all, time is money.
You like coding at a Low level.
You're from the old school of programming and believe that you should have an
intimate relationship with the computer. You don't mind juggling registers
around and spending hours getting a 5% performance increase in an algorithm.
You work best in a Solo situation.
The best way to program is by yourself. There's no communication problems, you
know every part of the code allowing you to write the best programs possible.
You are a liBeral programmer.
Programming is a complex task and you should use white space and comments as
freely as possible to help simplify the task. We're not writing on paper anymore
so we can take up as much room as we need.

Normal service etc.
Some of my style sheets and links from this blog are hosted on my Demon homepages site. For the first time in 10 years, there seem to be problems with it. For the moment I'll do a partial lash-up, with some of the style information on my home server (router persistence permitting) but maybe I'll rework the whole layout to be local.

Back to front
After 3 weeks for decorating and carpeting, where I'd moved everything from the main bedroom into the spare room, we are now back in the proper bedroom. The only time any of this works on the house actually pushed me out of the familiar east-facing aspect.
