zotz. . . that this logjam thing is going to work. After all, Paul swears by it and he's never let me down before. And that isn't because I haven't been my usual cack-handed self with programs I'm sure were written for more delicate handling.
Today was work, obviously. I still haven't gotten my Secret Santa gift for my Secret Victim. Tomorrow, maybe - I have until Friday, after all. Slight setback with one of the supposedly finished projects - it isn't. There's a remaining problem that I should have caught . . . last week or so. Oh well.
Myself, John S and Andybastardhudson went to see a councillor to try and get a hang of the entertainment licencing system - for reasons not entirely unconnected with the Q's problems and our relocation, although in an informational rather than lobbying sense. We didn't find out as much as we'd have liked - I think he was held up. We certainly didn't bump into him until about closing time, and he was a bit tired to be quizzed ruthlessly. We all chatted for a bit, mainly on council-related stuff. Interesting bloke.
I think I've worked out who ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif){kind=small}
lovingboth is, too. There are plenty of Ians and I hadn't really associated him with London, but I'm pretty sure I know who it is from (of all things) his Stortrooper. The idea that one of them can be enough to recognise somebody is truly scary.
This logjam thing looks OK, actually . . . Paul wins again. At some point I'll have to fiddle with it properly. The "moods" pulldown doesn't have "wretched", I notice, but then I don't really need that as often as I like to imply. "Dorky" exists and will probably be more useful.
What else . . . I got a call from my brother, who's got loads of people to visit all round the country that have contacted him through friendsreunited. "How many have mailed you?", he asked kindly. "None", I replied. "I guess I was right about them not liking me at school." Either that or it's something to do with not having left an email address. Anyone know which school Andrew Eldritch went to?

Date: 2001-12-12 04:40 am (UTC)Broken tag there. lj-cut and lj-poll have hyphens, lj user doesn't. I'll correct it at some point. Soon, hopefully, or I'll forget.

Date: 2001-12-12 04:43 am (UTC)I did have an earlier version which I tried, but it seemed hopelessly cryptic. I can't work out what I was doing wrong. The new one's very straightforward indeed, and does indeed do everything one could want it to (although I'm stil waiting for it to finish making the tea). I ended up having to move from stable to testing to get it to run. Maybe that's a little drastic. We'll see.

Date: 2001-12-12 06:48 am (UTC)I should really find something more recent, but even at the time it was one of only a very few pictures of me that I liked. It is, if you look closely, scanned off the back of my bank card. Which is why I usually follow it with "so if you're trying to steal my chequebook, this is what you should aim for."

Date: 2001-12-12 08:18 am (UTC)Thank you, I've never heard that one before. I assumed somebody would come out with it almost immediately, but until now it's not happened.
Obviously it occurred to me eventually that it looked a bit like a mugshot, but nobody else has ever mentioned it, despite it being available and visible for several years in several places.
Hang on, I've got a gold star round here somewhere . . .

Date: 2001-12-12 09:01 am (UTC)I'm serious. Nobody's made a mugshot comment. Unless my memory's seriously going, anyway.

Date: 2001-12-13 02:03 am (UTC)I didn't at the time either - the time being about seven years ago.
