A bit of free format RPG…

…and we’re not talking about dungeons and dragons here, we’re talking dates.

So, we need a character representation of a Timestamp with a space between the date and the time retaining any leading zeros and we don’t want date separators but we do want time separators. OK?

Simple, you just need to use some built in functions like this…

String =
%trim(%editw(%dec(%date(%timeStamp):*YMD):’0 ‘)) +
space +
%trim(%editw(%dec(%time(%timeStamp):*HMS):’0 : : ‘));

I’m off for a lie down.

284,012,334 seconds and I don’t regret a day of it

It was our wedding anniversary yesterday. Cathy and I celebrated nine years of wedded bliss by staying home and watching telly. According to some websites it was our Pot, Willow or Leather anniversary. Does anyone know of a decent drug dealer and a fetish shop near St Paul’s Cathedral?

Oh, and the day before was my lovely niece Joanne’s brithday and my not so lovely old friend Robin’s too.

Evil

According to The Independent today, a British man from Suffolk has a rather novel way of making money. His main business is selling animal feeds, shed, outhouses etc. But, this particular evil bastard has a sideline manufacturing gallows equipment for export to countries which have a use for such things. His product line includes a “truck mounted gallows” and a “multi-hanging mobile public execution system”.
