So far I’ve spent three and a half days doing the merges I mentioned recently. Here’s a big tip. When the client wants you to do something nasty to optimize throughput, which you know will mean harder maintenance and development later, resist with all your might! This is just taking forever, and I’ve got another two merges to do yet.
In the next couple of weeks there are three more to do! In the weeks following that there are even more. All of them are going to be painful because we were persuaded to hack in some really dirty optimizations! 🙁
James Doing OK
Heard this evening that James is doing OK. If he sleeps OK tonight, then he can go back on the ward tomorrow. This is great news. 😀
I’m sure Chris and Jo are relieved. I’ve not heard any results form the brain scan yet.
More On Baby James
The last I heard, he was much better today. He’s only got one tube up his nose now. Poor thing 🙁
The doctors have given him a brain scan as a matter of course today, but I’ve not heard the results. I hope the little blighter’s ok!
Books
I seem to be getting through a lot of books at the moment. I may revive my book review pages. If I do them in a blog stylee, it should be easy to keep adding to them as I finish each one. Hmmm… Another project to go in the list 🙂

More on Baby James
I’ve just heard that he is out of intensive care, but still being monitored. Great! Mum and Dad are doing fine too.
New Baby
Jan’s nephew Chris and his wife Joe, have had a baby boy, James! He was born a couple of days ago, but shortly after was rushed into intensive care. After a couple of worrying days, he now seems to be getting better, though he’s not out of the woods yet. Still things are looking up and Jan and Paula (Chris’ sister) have gone to see baby tonight. Best of luck to all of them.
Dead Famous
I’ve just finished Dead Famous by Ben Elton. Very funny! I thoroughly enjoyed it. A good mystery, and I didn’t work out the ending either.
