[Closed] What have you achieved today?

I've set 40pints of lager brewing 🙂

I washed the kitchen floor. Had to work up to it tho'......

I've been to Hull and back

Made it to the bank to pay for the rest of the house we're hopefully completing on next week and remembered to pick up my children from school. Thats two ticks 😀

I've done some sitting, scratched myself a bit, thought about packing in smoking, and taken some out of date anti-biotics (dont ask, and I'd advise others not to try it). All in all, a fairly productive day.

**** all.

I wish I'd had bassspine's day!

done lots, achieved little

I was hungry. Now I'm not.

I'm looking forward to the taste test, I've never done lager with spray-dried malt before

What emits at 560nm following excitation at 460nm?

I'm on my way home now but am concerned that I'll barely sleep tonight for pondering!

I've built 5 wheels today, made a few cups of coffee and packed and sent some post.

mb - some sort of lasing device like a krypton or diode laser perhaps?

I have produced much of the material for an unauthorised office magazine. By horrible coincidence, I was reminded of the firm's IT policy while I was busy. Apparently I was meant to be doing something entirely different. 🙂

Finished the crossword.

I've got a commission to write a feature, sorted out the fuses for the lighting in a block of flats, got a bike shop owner to add his signature to the back of a driving license photo in exchange for three fresh espressos, changed some cash into Euros for tomorrow, sorted my CV, done a wee bit of networking with old friends to sort a new job, and retained a solicitor. That leaves 17 things on the To Do list, and actually very little achieved.

What emits at 560nm following excitation at 460nm?

I dunno, but by the end of today I hope to find out. Gripping stuff....

Looked after the twins, swapped some Husselfelts for some nice Control Tech bars and............yeah busy enough I guess.

I've got a new contract. whooo hoooooo.

Finally got the green light to add some social media to our portal. Okay, it's only a blog and forum to begin with, but it's progress 🙂

Probably a bunch of other stuff but can't remember anything particular outstanding.

Think I'll go and make some Chai Tea now ...

Shagged Bonnie Langford

Got a new job, apparently a 'green job', so waiting for that to start and looking after my twins, taught them to do high five and throw the horns

Pretty good day

I am Bonnie Langford and my chuff hurts for some reason

"What emits at 560nm following excitation at 460nm?"

Something with a long stokes shift? Big lifetime fluorescence molecule?

I had great sushi. That was about it!

did 8 hours hard graft in the noble profession of bar person, gto home fed n bathed slimtubling major while my wife fed the insatiable slimtubing minor (11 days old now) went out at 8.30 and gave a talk to expectant fathers on the terrors on new parenthood. Got home and fondled my bottle of Glen Garioch 8 yor old but decided broken sleep and large malts do not have any place in my day for the next 12 weeks.

i am now immune to swine flu, mexican pigs do your worst!!

Flashy's crossword:

Phoned some people, help sort out the script on a customer survey phone campaign, made bad coffee, made excuses why I'm not running or night riding.

Beat my best score on brickbreaker on the wackberry on the train to work.

It was pretty draining, so I've really had to take it easy for the rest of the day.

Began a course of Tamiflu 🙁

Took the wife out for lunch at a new restaurant, which was very pleasant.

Trained two new freelancers and secured a decent amount of new work as well.

Tried to install QuickenXG and lotus 6 on unbuntu.

I wish there was an alternative to quicken on linux.

and failed.

managed to get a useable (approx 5%!) transfection efficiency for a double mcherry Raichu construct

1. Had a shave before going to work - first in a very very long time

Cut the cock and balls off of a fibreglass reindeer, then with nifty application of expanding foam and car body filler made it look like rudolf had never had any. Then fixed his broken antler.

When people need these jobs doing why do they call me? Its not like I advertise.

I've now got rudolf's cock and balls sitting on my work bench, got them off in one peice - look a bit like a bike saddle. Anyone want them for soup?

Cleared a bathroom and started tiling it.

Made sure that 94 prisoners got their daily methodone then managed to get 30 of them to work. Convinced one it would be better to go behind his door for a roll check than get nicked for not. Acted as a social worker for one who'd had some bad news about his family & social workers. Sorted a refund out for some jeans for another. Did a target search on one & found a phone charger wire inside his telly. Found out for another when his cat D board's sitting. Bollocked another for pushing in at the meds queue, calmed another one down who was going ape cos his meds weren't there. Called healthcare for one cos he had chest pains, turns out he's not dying.
Etc, etc, etc.

WTF?

sorted the recycling out for tomorrow and had a nice little snooze

I proved I still have the skills when it counts in the work place.

Made some savings on getting flour delivered from southampton to belfast, £60k in the pocket of the company and bit towards my target!

I had a morning of lectures with Rupert Sheldrake, author of "Dogs That Know When Their Owners are Coming Home", "The Sense of Being Stared at: And Other Aspects of the Extended Mind", you know, morphic resonance and all that 🙂

Drove my youngest to nursery and drove to and from work for the first time. Stressful and exhilarating in equal measure.

2 danger w**ks!

ran a 6 hour workshop on job evaluation
listened to Paul Smith talk about business and falling off his bike

nothing i'd consider to be either ground breaking, useful or fun.

owever i'm about to make a chocolate cake so could be all change!

really think you should make a saddle, not soup

Got wife and baby up and spectacularly failed to get up to the BMX track for a couple of hours(opting, instead to go back to bed). Took the dogs out and after that was done, I rode to work in Top gear to make up for the earlier fail(time for a singlespeed? ). On route to work, got the back right out on some wet leaves and almost hit an oncoming cyclist. When at work, avoided eating too much product and sent some emails. I am currently waiting to work on a machine, and when done it will be about 10.15 and I can ride hime in the P**sing rain without any waterproofs. Once home I will eat a pizza while surfing mountain bike forums.

What have I acheived?...struck off another day in my life

Taught two adults who have never cycled before to ride bikes.
Pretty good day in my books!

The bit of the patient that has been upsetting old ladies (Rudolf will be suspended overhead as part of a shopping centre christmas display

not alot whilst at work, but then I've just stumbled upon a job advert that appeals, so a bite to eat, print off 2000 raffle tickets for the school xmas draw and fire off a CV.

Why does the reindeer have to be androgynous?

Got two candidates job offers which they both accepted.

Why does the reindeer have to be androgynous?

Generally I don't think they have to be, but the photo doesn't really show quite how eye grabbing his baws were

I partially assembled an engine I've been designing and having machined for the last 6 months. I'm getting excited.

Skidartist - the bollocklopper

I like that - scurries off to print up new business cards

2+ hours of extremely muddy commuting made me smile today. Also tested some of these:

Helped someone on some of these:

And then worked on some new exciting stuff. 🙂

Ridden 21 miles, set up a photographic business with a mate, drunk most of a bottle of Pinot Noir and accepted an invite to a NAIM demo tomorrow evening.

Actually most of that was after 4pm, so my day has been rather weighted towards the back end.

**** all as usual

Well, having failed to work out what emits at x wavelength, I went to the pub. Having now just got back in, I guess I'll have to leave you all guessing until tomorrow.

In any case, the answer's probably 42....

Productivity wise this has been a good day for me.

I configured 3 firewalls from scratch and got them into the hands of the courier. I also got three homeworker pilot sites up and working which was nice. I helped get an overdue SSL certificate issued and agreed on a migration strategy for a well known countryside protection agency from their current underperforming VPN connection to a more efficient MPLS solution. I agreed to become the senior resource on a new wireless project that's long overdue to make sure it eventually gets completed and I finished off the day by upgrading two firewalls protecting one of the largest electricity telemetry networks in the country. Oh, and I slipped in a couple of changes on a well known water suppliers telemetry network under the radar because they asked too late but are desperate.

Now I'm drinking beer.

I have achieved inner peace, harmony and contentment, just before bed time. I will wake up(hopefully!)in the morning, a grumpy, angry, disillusioned b@st@rd and the cycle will start again! 😀

Facilitated two focus groups of about 10 professionals each as part of an evaluation of the use of the Common Assessment Framework with children, young people and families.

Popped down to the gym this evening and did a Body Attack class for the first time for several weeks, a few weights and several lengths of the swimming pool followed by far too long in the sauna. Now feeling totally ****ed!

Commuted by train for an hour+
Put together proposal for the way in which GST is handled for a global travel company
Started (should be doing now) the sign off documentation for a automated flight booking processing system
Talked about migrating all sorts of hardware from one supplier to another.
Finalised the schedules on two (2) website refit projects.
And looked at a set of fiberglass reindeer nads.
And what will I remember from the day, the nads...

Update.
Now finished documentation.
Still thinking about reindeer nads - considering that this is not healthy.

I taught a couple to ride drop offs and steps ... cornering and jumps today 😀

Stuart

Got into work at 7:30 to find a system with 640 users on it that I took over responsibility for last week was ****ed. It was still ****ed when I left 10 hours later. Vendor assesment is that it's 'terminal'. it hasn't been a good day

I have managed to eat alot of quality street that i bought for Xmas.

Not so good.

Woke too early. Drove 70 miles or so to show some chemical warfare bods how much they need my software. Drove home via looking at some panel vans prior to having a custom conversion made. Slept early evening, went to pub, came home.
