VALERIE: The lady in red

Took Valerie over to see Pants. She was wearing red and I am sure he wanted her. I don't know what got into him. It could have been the heady mix of reggae music and Fray Bentos or perhaps because he had been woodworking all afternoon. She is a hot chick-a-hoola tho, so you can't blame him.

UKULELE: Been out gigging

So I went to see the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain at the Barbican the other week. They were brilliant. A seven piece Ukulele band who do covers of things like J'taime, Teenage Kicks and Wuthering Heights. Highly reccomended.

To hear for your self have a listen to this Radio 4 report.

Four strings and the truth baby.

JAVASCRIPT: I'd really rather not if you don't mind.

Scripting languages are just dandy if you use them for what they were intended for; to do quick little simple things. For instance:

if(youHavn'tFilledTheFieldIn()) then print "yoo hoo look the field, I think you forgot something"

Occasionally you have to break this rule and find youself, as I have this week, writing lots of object oriented javascript. No type validation, weirdo objects and Monty Python's debugger. As Englebert Humperdink said "Please release me let me go".

To ease the pain I downloaded this Javascript Editor. This has made life considerably easier by at least letting me jump up and down functions, the full version does a lot more. The evaluation runs out in 29 days, if I am still doing a lot of javascript then I may well buy it. There again, if I am still doing javascript in 29 days I will be lying at the bottom of the river thames being eaten by fish.
