Not a massively interesting day. I hate it when I’m not in the middle of a large project. Today has mainly been spent reading stuff — useful, work-related stuff (like WCAG 2,0, for example), but hardly scintillating, nonetheless — and dealing with minor issues here and there (like the reluctance of a large client to install the .Net Framework v1,1 on their webserver, despite v1,0 being there already and the alternative being to keep using 3000 lines of flaky-as-hell ASP Classic and a hotfix for the MCMS Postback issue we experienced on Allied Domecq). That’s quite an interesting one, actually. There’s a bug in hotfix #832348 for Microsoft Content Management Server, which means that some scripts will postback incorrectly. Rather than going to www.site.org/Folder/Template.aspx or to www.site.org/Channel/Posting.htm, it posts back to www.site.org/Channel/Template.aspx — the CMS pseudopath, mirroring the CMS Channel hierarchy, but with the Template ASPX’s filename. The combination doesn’t exist, so it 404s. Thankfully (grâce à Stefan Goßner at Microsoft), we have found out that hotfix #892474 resolves this issue, so we’ve just asked AT&T to test it with a view to rolling it out /stat/. The odd bit of NO2ID mail over lunch, natch, we now have York City Council affiliated; and Streatham’s CLP voted against ID Cards last night at a meeting that Des Browne backed out of, rather cowardly, at the last minute, so Simon Davies (NO2ID Chair) pulled out too, postponing the tête-à-tête to another time, rather than having a one-sided debate that would weaken the significance of the vote. Music at work isn’t too bad today, though the studio appears not to like Jay-Z vs Linkin Park very much. The Depeche Mode remix CDs seem to be going down well, though. And someone’s just set Rammstein playing, covering DM’s Stripped , which is rather odd (and very good). The Rush Hour compilations arrived from HMV.co.uk today (no branding on their packaging, très odd); I must learn not to watch adverts (or shop online) when stoned. They look quite good, though. Anyways, I’m whittering, in a work-avoidance stylee, so I must off to work. Retro later, hopefully with Des there too: not seen him all week! And JenJen in my spare room…
