Minus two and a nicely frozen car. So far the good news, now the bad. Fog, the whole day, with visibility restricted to about 150m at best.

I picked up one more program for the II (invoice-address related info) adaptation. Changing fas much easier than testing cause I just don't know where the bloody thing is used.

Peter is back so some issues he started but that got frozen are picked up again. The result is that I do an adaptation on the TeleSales order validation program (pro023). Normally only validation that are activated by the user (manager) are executed. And normally that is enough. There is however a problem if both TeleSales and OMSI-3 are used to enter orders. The original assumption was that this should never be done . The problem is that the various tests and validations are executed at different moments of the order entry. So if you start entering an order in OMSI-3 and finish it in TeleSales you are missing some tests, like the presence of an invoice address ( in TS this is one of the early steps, later it is assumed the step was taken, in OMSI-3 this is only required when you release the order, one of the last steps).
The result is that I now have to add these (normally redundant ) test to the validation. I guess that within two or three months I will have added about all the screen-tests to the validation program. By then the opcos will start complaining about the performance of the monster.

Due to some weird political maneuvering all the illegal immigrants get a chance of being 'regularized' in the next couple of weeks. To prevent a sudden increase of illegal immigration during that period the borders of the country are closed. Well not really closed but every body crossing will be checked. We have been in a kind of economic union with the Netherlands for almost 40 years, resulting in free trafic. This is suddenly suspended for three weeks.
The result are enormous trafic jams on the borders. It took me just over 3 hours to get home. The normal time is about 1.5 hours. The extra time was spent on a 5 kilometer stretch of highway just before the border. Grand double Pifle.

My upload of the prawn recipe ^ of Saturday went wrong. I noticed that myself so I rectified it first thing on Sunday (OK not in the morning but first thing I did after connecting). Next I checked my mail, and I promptly got two complaints about the problem. That is what I call reassuring, it proves that my daynotes actually get read. Not that I care too much, since June, when I first published I only checked the statistics two or three times.
I try to cast the cooking notes in a layout that can be printed easily so they are actually useful . Few people have a computer in the kitchen, apart from those crazy daynoters that have boxes scattered all over their house of course.

Adios
