They're odd things, really. I just sent a mail from Thunderbird, in which Thunderbird informed me that Thunderbird was an unknown word ...

In other news, [livejournal.com profile] perlmonger is having to deal with an Unfortunate Plumbing Incident involving the dishwasher.

Looks as though the Plumbing Incident requires a professional ... Pete has put a jet wash down the pipes, but they're still blocked.

Now - to find a plumber. Last time we needed one it was a nightmare ...

No call back from the plumber, so I went and got a flexible drain springy thing from B&Q, and Pete is using it.

Isn't he limber?

In preparation for some major changes to my own web site (when I get time, ho ho), I'm importing our book catalogue here into Shelfari.

We have a perfectly serviceable system here what I wrote in ColdFusion, that looks up Amazon's web service and grabs all the details from the ISBN number, but that won't do what I want.

So I output a text file, and uploaded it to Shelfari, and it gaily processed it, and then threw away hundreds of ISBNs, which I am having to do manually - slow and tedious.

*Anyway* - the point of this is that you will find me on Shelfari as (no surprise) ramtops, so if you would like to friend me or whatever they do there, that would be vair nice.

Please note we only have about 1600 books, which I suspect is a very small number to some of you. But we do love and cherish them all.
