Happy, happy!
Very productive day!
Got a huge step done on a project for Springie. Pretty repetitive, but nice result, and still faster than automating it.
(Anyone have a list of the real names of the mechas and captains?)
And, speaking of automating, after 4 hours of fighting through PHP, which is, like, absolutely not as nice a language as they say it is (oh, what I wouldn't give for strong typing! And forget this pass-by-copy garbage! And a decent manual that covers what I need up front, rather than in the 27th example in sprintf)!, I finally got a colour-chart working! Give it a list of colours (yes, in hex, and you have to edit the program file), and it will print out a table of showing each colour on each other colour, and the hue, saturation and luminance. It'll even sort by hex. Good for checking colours to use on websites.
Yeah, I know, old hat to the programmers out there, maybe an hour, including time out for coffee, but quite an accomplishment for me!
Tomorrow, though, it's no computer. Time to spend some time with the kids.
Cheers!
(Oh, and I found a nice smilie, right here:
 )

Going back a few posts, the bath bubble spa is like a plastic mat you put in the bottom of the bath attached by a tube to something that resembles a cute vacuum cleaner that's blows not sucks (that sounds so wrong). You plug it in and it makes the bath a bit like a jacuzzi. This one heats the air too, and has 3 bubbleness settings. The high setting does tend to make the bubbles climb over the side of the bath if you're using bubble bath in it.
Great pics Springie!
Ugh, fritzy computers. Good luck with the php Cricket. I've not done any of that myself (done a little bit of asp instead, but really only a little tiny bit). I must do some reading...
I am trying to work out how to fit another bird cage into the living room, in bird corner. George and Mildred are very sweet, especially now they're brave enough to run around on the floor - they feed on the ground in the wild. I've put a mirror on the floor and George spends a lot of his time trying to be bigger than the mirror bird. Fun to watch! Even if he does get a bit psychotic towards it sometimes. The local pet store has some green cheeked conures, and whenever I go in there they're fighting to be the one closest to the person looking at them. It's as if they're saying "take me home with you". It seems that this particular type of conure is not very noisy, and I'm very, very tempted. But I can only even start on trying to persuade husband that we should have one if I can find a way to fit it in, unobtrusively.
