Advogato
Like ajv, I've been dumped back to Observer status again. I'm getting a little used to this funny certification thing now -- it seems to come in waves.

Rockclimbing
Went with Ian, Benni and Dan (not Dan from work) to The Mill. The people were very nice, some of the walls were fun, but I'll admit that Hardrock remains my favourite. Still, The Mill is an easy bike-ride from where I live (as is VicRanges), whereas Hardrock is yonks away.

In what appears to be a common occurance, I met up with some old people I knew while Rockclimbing and got talking. One of them happened to do a study of one of Schoolsnet's products as part of his thesis, and has promised to pass his research on to me. I look forward to reading it.

Work
It was a weekend, but nobody seems to have told Scotty that. I received two phone-calls from Scott about some data conversion scripts I had written.

The ASX seems to have broken their on-line share prices, which explains why some of my regression tests were failing. I've been doing a lot of thinking about the module, but not a lot of coding. The code needs more ways to signal that something has gone wrong, and what that wrongness is.

Played a little with Perl/Tk, but not seriously. I'd like to have a nice stock-ticker, but I don't want to write it myself. The tickers which I've played with didn't support Australian stocks very well.
