Greasing the Monkey
Still no job. Not that I've applied for any yet.
I've been working through the career/personality assessments from the Outplacement company and perusing a lot of employment sites. There aren't many jobs for my skillset, most programming jobs seem to be for web programming positions. But there are a few, that I'll be applying for soon.
Meanwhile, I'm looking after the kids a lot. Or kid, at the moment, since Thomas is in Wales on a camping trip with the Scouts. Daniel and I baked some cheesy biscuits. He wanted to make fairy cakes, but we don't have any self-raising flour (or raising agents). I've told him that they're fairy cheesy biscuits.
To keep my programming muscles working, I've installed Greasemonkey, a Firefox add-on that lets you run your own Javascript scripts on web pages to alter them. I've never used Javascript before, but it seems pretty straightforward. I've written something to let me ljcut long entries on my LJ friends list. Mainly to ljcut Feeds from blogs that are interesting to read once, but are always very long...
