• 9th August: Yes, your offer will be accepted. No problems at all. I'll go and talk to her tonight.
• 10th August: The vendor has had a fight with her brother. She might not want to sell because she wants to live there herself. I'll find out for certain and let you know tomorrow.
• 11th August: I couldn't contact her, but I really need to sit down and talk to her in person. We'll definitely know by tomorrow.
• 12th August: The vendor's had some business problems and needs to talk to her solicitors. She's meeting with them on Monday. We'll know for certain then.
• 13th August:Sunday: Waiting for Monday
• 14th August:The solicitors are in court, so she can't get in contact with them. They're definitely not in court tomorrow, so we'll absolutely know by then. No questions about it.
• 15th August:The vendor hasn't talked to her solicitors. She's going to ring them from home tonight. We'll definitely know by tomorrow.

ARRRRRRRRGH!!!!!!!

How hard is it supposed to be just to make an offer on a damn house? You'd think that if they went to all the trouble of putting it on a market and dealing with real estate agents that you'd actually want to sell! *grumble*

Work
Have been elected as chief fire-warden for our floor. I think this means that if anyone dies in a fire, it's my fault. I'm honoured nonetheless.

It looks as if we're heading towards proactively fixing problems before they become huge nasty bugs out in the real world. Of course, this might all change next week.

Bike
Still sick. Might get time to do something about it tomorrow. Definitely by ... Saturday.

Open Source
Nothing which I've done, although there's been a bit of interest in people writing new modules for Finance::Quote, which will be good if it happens. (In this case the modules are for UK mutual funds.)

ADOM
Have dropped back a couple of versions because gamma 16pre-2 keeps segfaulting, and g15 segfaults even more. I think it would be nice if Thomas left debugging symbols in the binary -- at least then I could use the magic of gdb to say which function is causing the problems.
