Week 119
-
The âFish finger named most Beard Friendly Sandwich for second year runningâ news inspired me to get some fish fingers and put them in a sandwich (a âfish stick sandwichâ for US English speakers) and I am grateful for the inspiration.
I donât fully understand the âbeard friendlyâ fuss, but whatâs good for the bearded is good for the beardless â a sandwich sopping with ketchup, mayonnaise etc is annoying enough if youâre not concerned about soiling a beard, because bare faces get dirty too.
-
Some work.
-
This is a bit embarassing because independent schools are bad (although taking their advertising coins might be praxis). (Wick, it turns out, is a place in Litttlehampton as well as a better known place in North Scotland.)
-
I accidentally deleted all the timetable data â not ideal, and worse still I was a bit incapacitated by hayfever and one unit of beer when I realised.
I wasted time fiddling about with a perfect solution (surgically restoring just the stuff Iâd deleted), before settling for a much easier, good enough solution (restoring the backup from a few hours ago and not worrying about the few hours of vehicle tracking data that would be lost).
(Thanks to DigitalOceanÂŽ Managed Databasesâ automatic backups for saving my arse.)
-
Made an improvement to the layout of certain weird timetables. Thatâs what itâs all about, iterative improvement, it just keeps getting better, and if no one notices, good.

-
Went to an Fauxtalian chain restaurant (lots of outdoor seating) with some people cooler than me, and had the best (only) meatballs Iâve had this month.
-
I was going to go to the Fens but I was too tired so I didnât and thatâs OK. Cool story.
