Long boring pointless day at work yesterday. Almost finished fixing a bug. Even smiling makes my face ache. *snigger* Spent some years trying to get bits of CSS to behave appropriately. Now I’m fixing some other bits of media playing goodness for the trial that goes live imminently. My first trip to the lovely Madame Jojos last night, reviewing another band, The Envy Corps, for Londonist. Kinda unimpressed, it’s like what happens when you take a band that list all their influences and then construct songs consisting only of their influences. Technically they were good, but they just lacked anything of their own sound. There was an Oasisy one. There was a Blurry one. There were beatlesy bits. There were bits that were almost Ocean Colour Sceney too, but nothing hugely of note. Fell City Girl left me feeling I should go out and buy the EP. I’m still humming “February Snow”. The Envy Corps...I can’t even remember any part of their songs...not good. Still, I’ll probably be a little kinder in the review — they only had about 30 people to play to, the drummer’s pedal broke and was replaced mid song, the guitarist either broke a string or threw a tantrum (and his guitar across the stage) during the middle of the song before...I dunno. Poor things. Flown thousands of miles to appear in a basement. Chatted to Danny on the phone on the bus. At last, I’ve found someone to waste all my free minutes on Home and munching of snacks. No Freakcity as I was so damn tired I didn’t even bother turning my PC on. Sleep. Out like a light. Until TJ...grr... TJ drunken, I got up this morning (having been woken at 6am. Grr.) to discover something akin to KuBar’s cloakroom on my floor. Bob only knows how many men there are in his bed. The hussy. My bike’s rattling is becoming somewhat worrisome. Bah. Freakcity beta seems to have developed an interesting “I’m going to log you out, bastard” bug. Have whacked in a fix which (I hope) should work ok. Just testing it today...so far, no logouts. Set up a spam alias on novak. Upgraded spamassassin this morning but noticed that I was getting “bayes: cannot open bayes databases” errors all over the place. Perhaps this was linked to the sudden upsurgence in spam I have been getting? sa-learn --import seemed to fix this, so I’ve mailed sunin and deev to tell them too. I really should get around to setting up a “novak users” mailing list.
