As you can tell from the day of the week, I've finished my first week of work. It's not a standard nine-to-five job at all - the company founder usually gets in at about 10:30 and is followed an hour or so later by everyone else, then people tend to stay until the day's work is done, whenever that is. It's a very Jack Cole lab-style attitude to working, and I like the relaxed atmosphere of it.
My first task has been to bring a couple of plugins for an XML editor up to date, and so far it's proving to be a task almost as impossible as the Logic practicals - at the moment I have them working separately but not together, and no one seems to have any idea what's wrong with them at all.
There's this odd programme on TV just now called "To catch a predator". The premise is that people pose as young teenage girls online, and set up meetings with paedophiles at some undisclosed location. They turn up thinking that they're meeting with the girl they've been talking with online, who is played by an eighteen-year-old actress. After letting the situation run a while, the presenter then jumps out of the bushes and reveals that it's a TV show, making it strangely reminiscent of Beadle's About. A short interview is conducted with the squirming predator, and they then allow them to leave, where they are immediately battered by the police.
I can't really find the words to explain it any more, so have a look at Wikipedia.
