Friday evening is crunch time. I’ll be packed and getting an early night to go to Oxford to meet the usual suspects; C, Marshall, Ian and Yolanda. No idea as to who else will be there, but regardless, it should be fun for all. It’ll be good to see Ian and Yolanda before they’re scattered to the corners of the UK for University.

Other than a busy weekend, I’ve got a few days left to adjust to a new timetable and lifestyle before the new job. Excellent. It’ll give me something to do again.

And lastly, if you’ve ever written any software and given it away, you’ll know how upsetting it can be to get rude emails demanding features be put in, bugs that you can’t replicate be squashed (without even an error message to go on…) and that you do it now because the person emailing you is oh so busy… It’s annoying, it’s upsetting and downright rude. If I’ve provided you with a service and support and not asked for any payment in return, then you’ve no right to demand from me I fix things that are not broken (you not having Bluetooth is not a fault on the part of my application) or expecting me to implement features that have use to me.

When you start paying me for my work, you can make demands. Until then, shove it.

And in regards to my last post, The Pen is winning. A giant black cucumber in your pocket is a wonderful thing to have.

And take your mind from the gutter. I know what you’re thinking.
