More icons, less insight

August 3rd, 2007

OK, so I’m not doing very well at the blogging challenge. I’ve missed two days now and I’m pretty sure someone’s keeping note…

I need to blog earlier in the day when I’m still awake. Mind you, last night was EdLUG and I never really woke up today.

I’ve done a bit more work on the big giant database and it’s starting to come together a bit. It’s funny how even though the todo list keeps growing I feel like it might actually get there soonish. In related news, HSBC are being tossers over getting an internet merchant account for the online booking side of this site, even though the organisation has had a MOTO merchant account with HSBC for >15 years (pretty much the feeling I get as a long term personal HSBC customer where it seems like they’d be quite happy if I died as then they wouldn’t have the chore of posting my bank statements).

Also, my probable choice of payment processor for the new site, Protx, made a spectacular cock up of an upgrade to their system a couple of days ago. I might be looking around for alternatives…

I’ve finally got an excuse to use a couple of icons from FAMFAMFAM’s Silk icon set. Nice little icons and under a Creative Commons licence.

And that’s today’s exciting news, the time now is a bit past 11 and it’s time for news where you are.
