... well after wibbling twice yesterday I'm short of words today. Probably a combination of too much cake1 and a wee tot of Cointreau, some alcohol free blue Curacao and rather more lemonade.

What to report? Well, my pension fund seems to be a bit stuffed at the moment. I reckon it's lost over 20% of its value in the last couple of months as equities have followed commercial property2 down the pan, especially over the last couple of days. Oh well, that only puts me back where I as three years ago and hopefully this mess will have resolved itself by 2020 ... I hope.

Meanwhile I've been coding today, broken up by a very enjoyable lunch at The Wrestlers with the usual suspects, and I've got some new technology to show for it.

  1. We were celebrating something today so we bought a cake, it allegedly serves twelve, turns out it only serves two. Ooops.
  2. Boy, what a good investment that was ...
