Time passes

[ewx]

Rib not fixed but it's definitely been causing a lot less trouble lately, particularly over the weekend. Back into the office tomorrow morning, I think.

Had a nice walk on Saturday, having a look at this ruined folly with Becky. We couldn't (legitimately l-) get inside but we could see that it's just brickwork clad with stone rather than stone all the way through. Very few people around Wimpole Hall this time of year, previous times I've been there it's been much busier. Curry and Xena later on. They seem to have abandoned any notion that the widely-appreciated subtext is actually sub- for season six.

(I still have photos from last weekend's walk, among other things, waiting to be posted.)

I've spent quite a bit of time this weekend improving my backup software. It's now capable of backing over SFTP to a remote host, though I came across an annoying problem with OpemSSH's sftp along the way. Still, apart from that it went pretty smoothly. (For the intrepid and Arch-enabled, get rjk@greenend.org.uk--2004/hbackup--mainline--0.)

I've also made another release of lj2news, which can be used to post LJ articles into a newsgroup.

Was that what was at the end of that demi-footpath?

Hmm, maybe it should fall back to using rename() if link() isn't supported.

Are you actually allowed to walk up to it? I've always been deterred by the big signs saying "go away" a the bottom of the field.

Did you just fail to get my messages about meeting up to relieve the boredom of being stuck at home last week..?

What a sad-looking icon!
