AFAIK no. They just shut it down. I think they only kept it for Yahoo Japan.

DPD just informed me that my 6237B will be arriving today. Then I can find out to what extent it is bust.

Actually running way ahead on software schedule (thanks to RabbitMQ being awesome) so have some time to burn. Never deliver a software product early or on time; people will expect it every time then!

Or isn't worth much.

Houdini well knew that. He used to quickly escape while hidden behind a small curtain, then sit on a chair reading a newspaper while the audience thought he was in difficulty.

Yes indeed. My father never got that. He was forever chasing up people for days for invoices for 30 minutes work here and there because they perceive the value not in the change of state of the universe that was accomplished but the arbitrary cost divided by the time in which it took.

Even when I repair peoples laptops on and off now I will give a high estimate just to get paid the 50 quid or so I usually charge for 15 minutes aggregate of work done :-DD (and that’s cheap in this bit of London!)

TEA I run unlike a business. It’s for intellectual gain rather than financial so I’m happy that I get to fix something as the gain is just education and some engineering insight. If I make a financial loss there’s always another form of gain.
