With a little cloud cover like we had tonight the temperature didn't drop far tonight (down to 12°C). The clouds do not however prevent the sun from warming things up so we end up at just over 20°C. So while it wasn't a brilliant day it wasn't grey either, rather silvery and warm.

I did a clean up of some code and fixed the solutions I worked out hastily during the week. Not quite a productive job but it has to be done sometimes.

In between these things I gave Ronny some more advise for his web site which is coming along rather well (but with a rather dark background (#666699) :-). Explaining things is the best way to learn them and it won't be long before he gets into deeper water so I'd better prepare myself.

In the news :

Belgacom, the Belgian telephone ex-monopoly will provide WAP services by the end of May. With enough fanfare as if they invented it. I'd be more interested in ADSL but that is an on/off thing more intended to keep the cable network at bay.

The various police services are being merged. That was a political decision made after the child kidnap, abuse and murder case (the Dutroux case) some years back. There is an agreement between the government and some unions but nobody seems to think the agreement acceptable. This looks like a reform that will drag on for a few years more and then fizzle out.

The asparagus season has started so I pick some up on the way home. This means I will have to shop a bit faster tomorrow to be back in time for cleaning them.
