Haha, minus 7°C. And no wind and no rain. Just nice. Oeps, why is everybody casting dark gaze in my direction. Strange some people seem to prefer wet windy slouchy weather. (au, those stared become black).

The Americans uncovered another problem. We use small server programs that get specific codes from the database. One of the codes is for the number of decimals in currency amounts, another for the language etc. One of these server programs is intended to serve up the country code (3 char) . What it does however is return the language code (2 char). It has been doing this since 1995 (last program change) without any one noticing it. And indeed most countries use the same code (FR for France and French, IT for Italy and Italian, etc.) America does things different (of course) They use USA for country and EN for language. So now I am digging out where that program is used to find out if we can actually correct it without breaking things.

And I learned from Leah Syroid that a bath bomb is not related to a land mine but rather a cross between what we have here as bath salt (fizzles) and batch soap (foams).

I took an other couple of picture with different light settings. While they show a bit brighter on the build in LCD, once transferred I don't see much difference.

That is Oswal.

The narrow side desk.

Hmm, not much depth of field. But considdering that I was not using any lightning, only the flash it still looks not too bad. I must reshoot that one in XGA.

Adios
