    Damnation, double post. Have to think of something else to say. But can't.

    May I suggest a better joke?

    Found out my Gibson V's birthday - input the serial number to the Guitar Dater Project site and found it was made in the Nashville plant on the 28th of January, 2009. Don't know why that makes me happy, but it sort of does.

    Also used a Fender one for my dad's Burgundy Mist Strat, which we both thought was from the mid-2000s - turns out it's from 1998-9.

    I just got a SOAP client communicating with a SOAP server that communicates to my program. Previously I had a test program which pretended to be a SOAP server to exercise that interface. I hoiked lumps of code out of the test program and called them from the SOAP server. And they worked :)
    Today I removed the printfs from the code that glues the server to the public interface of my program, and halved the average turnround time of a SOAP request, streamlined the server building mechanism, and exercised the dummy client on a machine other than the one the rest of the software runs on - so now we see it working as it should, on separate machines. And the turnround time is not bad either :)

    I've just eaten one of the best tasting apples ever. From a tree in our little orchard. No idea what the variety is, and they look very unappealing, but when you eat them fantastic. Really sweet, with an almost honey like flavour and a citrus under flavour. We have 3 tree of this variety, the oldest of which must be 50+ years old, so I suspect they're an old Devon variety. Keep meaning to go up to Rosemoor when they have an apple day up there, see if they can identify it.

    I'm not exactly an expert but from the sounds of it what you have is a lemon that a bee has weed on.

    If you have a rare 50 year old apple tree you should try are propagate from it. Using the fruit from the tree is notoriously unreliable for apples (as I'm sure you are aware they grow but not necessarily as the same variety). So lots of cuttings or use a young sapling (apple preferably) and splice/graft a cutting from the old tree onto it to ensure you get more of the same. I would imagine that would be quite satisfying and rewarding. having someone identify it is a good call too.

    oddly enuff, I have been trying to find if there are people out there who sell retail quantities of root stocks. If you know anyone, be good to know.

    The only people I know of are Walcot Nursary over that side of the country and I've never bought anything from them myself. I think a search on apple rootstock will reveal a decent selection and then have a punt.

    You sick f*cker. I suppose I should be thankful it's not a 13 year old tree.

    Best part of the weekend: the lamb chops I had for lunch on Saturday, cooked to perfection
    :D

    this morning, got access to my company email on both the Windoze 7 machine, and this 'ere Linux jobby. The only thing I need the old XP machine for now would be running the old PIC C IDE. And hopefully I won't get too many of those jobs coming along ;)
