Public Notes

  • Public And finally, we go live: http://www.uswitch.com... , fresh from the CMS!

  • Public Eating yummy orgasmic bread we bought at the Innocent Village Fayre (http://www.innocentvil...), where we had a splendid afternoon in the sunshine, picking up hippy things and eyeing up shirtless boys

  • Public Got the damn regex fixed — was using RegexOptions.IgnorePatternWhitespace, so needed to escape the # in the fragment bit. Dammit! :o)

  • Public (?<=<a[^>]* href=['"]?) (?<before>https?://[a-z0-9.-]*uswitch\.[a-z]+/[-\w_,.%/~]+) (?<querystring>\??[-\w&=~]*) (?<fragment>#?[-\w&=~]*) (?=['"]?[^>]*>) if you were wondering. (Spaces inserted to try to persuade Pownce™ to display it right.)

  • Public .Net regexen are pissing me off. I have five open-parenths and five close-parenths. How can I not have enough closers, if they're the same number as the openers? Bludi thing.

  • Public Well that's simpler: Mozart's Requiem is sold out :o)

  • Public Should I book tickets to go see Mozart's Requiem, when I saw his Clarinet Concerto last week, the Kronos Quartet (who were *awesome*: http://tinyurl.com/25m9wx) last night and will be going to see Fauré's Requiem this weekend? Barbican overload much? ;o)

  • Public Lunch went really well. Dave's politics are closer to mine than I thought and conversation was really interesting. And he paid for my pizza — fed by a rock star *GRIN*

  • Public Why on Earth am I so nervous? Pizza Express is hardly a scary venue, Dave Rowntree is a nice bloke and I could spiel about ID cards in my sleep (and prolly do). Anxiety attacks suck.

  • Public Sister's home flooded out: water up to kitchen worktops. And that's including the now-full flood cellar. The ground floor is written off, as is her car, her husband's van, all his tools (he's an electrician) and all their 18-month-old son's toys. They're at Dad's, where they're expected to run out of fresh water in 3 days' time. Fun(!)

  • Public I'd forgotten how much listening to the soundtrack to Once More, With Feeling cheers me up when I'm pissed off with content management systems ;o)

  • Public I do like working in the same building as the Met's training unit. So many Met officers in training appear to be rather hot ;o)

  • Public Metronet facing administration: http://news.bbc.co.uk/... Hahahahahaha!

    But PPP is a good idea and will save the govt money. Oh yes. Just nationalise it all again, ffs.
