I know this will jinx it, but I've just heard I have an interview for a proper job on Monday.  _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter.

Spent a fair bit of today getting down and dirty in SQL, managed to improve a sites processing to load time by 85%, from 6.5s to about 500ms full logic load. Puts their competitors site to shame without javascript and caching, faster by a full second with zero client or server side caching in place yet  The powers of properly written code (and compiled queries) is brilliant at times _________________TwitterCharlie Brooker: Macs are glorified Fisher-Price activity centres for adults; computers for scaredy cats too nervous to learn how proper computers work; computers for people who earnestly believe in feng shui.

Needed more storage space for all the digital stuff.
Sent to Staples and found a 2TB USB 2 Iomega drive for £79. Done.

Picked up a dead Dell 3007 30" IPS monitor on Sunday - traded for £30 and an old vga monitor. After several hours, over Sunday, Monday and the early hours of this morning, stripping down and testing plus a few quid on components, it rejoined the land of the living at approximately 7.30 this morning. I can't test it properly until I get back home (curse this work lark) but I'm reasonably confident it's functional.

You lucky, lucky (and enterprising) git. I'm supremely jealous.

Garage rang. Car's electrics are all working!
For quite a bit less than I feared too.
Tidy!

Remembering at the last minute that you've got a watched eBay item listing finishing in two minutes, dashing to the computer and making the winning bid by 18 seconds.
Also - winning brand new car door window motors for almost half price.
