phpReadMind()

As an extremely important and useful function, phpReadMind() has been designed to allow you see exactly what it is the client wanted to negate the need for the "it's ok, but can you just..." conversations which are usually followed by a complete overhaul of any design already implemented.

Andrew's little friend

[name's changed for privacy]

In Andrew's little friends ROA...

[Lucy] was digging in the nursery garden, looking for worms singing "there's a worm at the bottom of the garden

Later that day

[Lucy's] granny asks...

What did you do with the worm you found?

[Lucy] I gave it to [Harry]

What did [Harry] do with the worm?

[Lucy] He deaded it...

Never satisfied

Ok so now we want it to rain, waterbutt installed at the weekend and not a drop of the wet stuff since!

In tomato news, flowers are forming Laughing out loud Down with snails and slugs though they're devouring everthing else Sad

It's a bit wet

My tomato plants are currently drowning in the garden, along with the peppers, peas and onions Sad It appears that the lovely summery weather hasn't lasted, just long enough for us to all melt at work last week but now the holidays are upon us bring on the torrential rain.

No I didn't know when I installed it that it came with nowt but at the time I was so pleased that I'd actually managed to get one of the 4 downloaded distros onto the machine with its dodgy cdrom that I didn't really care. Now we just need to wait for the bandwidth limit to roll over and I can continue downloading all of the stuff needed to get it up and running into what will hopefully resemble a webserver, allbeit at greatly under-powered one.
