I've just had a thought. A very interesting thought. I wonder.... I wonder if it'd be worth making my own web based front end to LJ? I know it's replicating work that done already, but it would be at least an exercise in working on stuff that I don't know that much about. I've already got the bare bones of a client in Perl, from which I could simply copy and paste the innards - leaving only the interface to sort out, which is where I am currently falling down.

Hmmmm.

I had steak for tea, a nice thick fillet steak. When at Makro yesterday, mum picked up a pack of 10 steaks, costing nearly £30, but the guy at the checkout didnae scan them, nor the salmon steaks! Wheee. Saved us over £35. Of course we didn't realise this until we'd got home, and it was too far to drive back, honest *grins* Nice extra-rare steak and roast sweet potatoes. Yummy. Simple too.

*drools at the thought*

Tonight's Futurama was good :) Leela found out who her parents were. And I'd never seen the Simpsons episode with Homer doing his knee in, and setting up the nursery, so of course I laughed myself silly at that. Then watched (or attempted to watch) the Raising of the Kursk on Discovery.

It was awful - they spent so much time concentrating on the human aspect of it and nowhere near enough time talking about the technical aspect. I would have loved to know how they did it. Whilst I kinda understand, that's not why I watch Discovery, to be told how much the loved ones are grieving . You would almost believe that I don't have a father who spent over 20yrs serving on board various ships and submarines.

Speaking of which, he's either now in, or likely very soon to be in San Diego. Bastard. :)

Anyhow, yes. So now I'm going to do some work. Honest - guv'.

San Diego's so very near me in the grand scheme of things. Next time stow away and I'll take you to dinner. :)

*smiles* I wish I could convince him, but he's out there for work, you know, and it's all very hush-hush and secret and things. I tried, trust me! *G*

Do you have any idea how annoying it is even trying to get anything out of him about where he's going, let alone what he's doing? :)
