One of the recruitment agencies I gave my details to when I lived in Taunton and was trying to crack Bristol (more than three years ago) has suddenly started sending me 'opportunities' again. They're jobs that I would never have gone for at the time, and three years down the line I'm still vastly overqualified, still not experienced enough for their posts (and now significantly over-experienced at something else), and most importantly two hundred miles away with no plans to relocate.
You might think someone would notice that my file hadn't been updated in three years, and wonder whether anything might have changed in the meantime...

If [insert preferred 'omnipotent' presence] had intended there to be two spaces after a full stop, ([Ss]?[Hh]e|[Ii]t) would have just given the stops a bigger character width.
The MD of my employer's sister-company was just telling an interesting story.
Remember folks, CGI scripts must be executed by the web server. There's an important clue in there somewhere about the file permissions they must have.
Also, although the PHP interpreter doesn't mind, CGI (with Apache on Linux) won't accept DOS line-breaks (I think the line-feed on the she-bang line breaks the interpreter path).
But most of all, the logs are your friends. Had I remembered that simple truth, it wouldn't have taken me nearly so long to rediscover the first two.
Apologies for the lack of new posts, but I've found something to be really quite busy on. All will be revealed sooner or later.

I want to write a game. A multiplayer browser game of some kind. I've got plenty of ideas, but I doubt I'll ever get around to doing much with them. It's annoying.
Edit: Nucleus really needs a 'Preview' function. Sure, I could probably write one, but there are certain things I shouldn't have to write.

For a moment there, I thought the sidebar of the LOLcode home page had a link called 'implementati'. 'What a wonderful bit of [presumably fake] Latin,' I thought, until I realised that probably it's just a bad sidebar margin clipping the end from 'implementations'.
74% is a lot. But surely being Machiavellian isn't a bad thing?
Not that bad, at least?
See for yourself.

We have BBC Radio 1 on in the background in the office, plus I tend to listen to it while driving (depending on time of day). Their news is amusing.
Apparently now that the warning level for terror attacks has changed, so has their likelihood. They're not considered 'likely' rather than 'imminent', they actually are likely rather than imminent.
Amazing what the Government can do, just by making press releases.
