Help required again

Grandad August 10th, 2007

I am doing quite well at this web lark.

However, I am having a spot of bother with a bit of my coding.

It just will not work.

It’s erratic. It gives unexpected results. It’s annoying me.

I’m attaching a piece of code.

Do you think there is a bug in it somewhere?

Even prayer comes at a price

Grandad August 10th, 2007

I mentioned the other day that I needed help with designing a website.

I was desparate.

That night, I gathered a list of all the deities I could find on Google.

I prayed like I never prayed before. I prayed to them all. Every God that had ever been invented. I’ll try anything once.

And it worked! I woke in the morning and things were a lot clearer. Suddenly all those weird thing you see when you view a web page’s source made a sort of sense. Amen to the power of prayer!

Then yesterday, I was happily programming away, and there was a ‘ping’ and a mail arrived in my inbox.

Nobody ever told me about this. I didn’t know you are billed by the minute? I know everyone calls themselves ‘consultants’ these days, but this is ridiculous.

You may think I am kidding; that I touched up the image above? I didn’t [apart from a bit of smudging].

I swear to God.

No I don’t.

I don’t want to be billed for that too.
