Doing some work I've been putting off a bit, as while I've done both ok in the past I haven't done any for ages. I'm trying to take my mad Splunk-as-code 1 skills to New Relic, as it is the new preferred strategic corporate option. It's so all the departments metrics are in the same place and the same format. I went from "this is a complicated nightmare I'll never get it done" just after lunch to "I have smashed it I am the best" by the end of the day. And this was just a job hanging off the end of my desk, not my normal work. Feeling quite pleased and positive.
It's a lovely sunny day today, so sate here with the doors open having just had a post-work pre-dinner walk to Sandgate. And still not drinking, but it is only Wednesday so that hardly counts.
The boys are looking forward to the end of term. T2 is basically there, he's in London right now for a theatre trip, they're seeing Back To The Future. Then tomorrow he has the leavers assembly presentation thing that we go in for. Then on Friday both boys finish early. T1 has a tag day, T2 does not.
One of my last gigs before moving to London today in 1996, Tiger at The Joiners in Southampton. Linking right to the gig page there as I've done some work on these pages recently, just subtle neatening up but I'm quite pleased with it. See the list of gigs I've seen at the venue, and some highlights of other gigs at the venue are now proper sentences, with and Oxford comma, and the html is no longer broken. I've also added in a few more highlight gigs that I didn't go to, noticeable on pages like that, and then also on this page for The Marquee. I might add more history there. Did you know KISS were the first band to play the version of the Marquee that I ever went to? As late as 1988 too, didn't realise that. The Marquee is a venue that has moved sites a few times.
Misty and a gentle breeze, 13 - 23℃.
