I suppose this is what they call a blog. Except that blogs
are supposed to be updated more often than this is.

Friday evening: missed train, by less than 10 seconds.
Monday morning: missed train, by less than 10 seconds.
This evening: puncture in rear tire. Fixed puncture.
Patch came unstuck. Fixed puncture again. Cycled 5 minutes
towards home. Patch came unstuck. (Memo to self: never, ever
buy pre-glued puncture repair patches.) Gave up and walked to
nearby train station. 8-minute journey delayed by 1 hour
and 10 minutes because of person on the line: apparently
a suicide attempt.
Perhaps I'd better just stay at home tomorrow.

Things that should not exist in the 21st century, #7126:
commercial websites where you have to enter your card number
without spaces because some moronic moron
was too moronic to write one line of code to take them out
or to parse the number complete with spaces.
The particular morons
I'm thinking of on this occasion get extra credit for
(1) providing an error message that gives no clue what they
think is wrong with your card number, and (2) taking the
opportunity of your having to re-enter your card details
to re-check all those "spam me harder" checkboxes on the
purchase form.

Mindless link propagation: Chris Hruska's
essay
that reviews itself. Don't miss the link to David Moser's equally fine
short story.
