... and I'm working. So sad.
And instead of preparing to turn into a pumpkin, I'm desperately seeking the Balmer Peak[^] with equal amounts of my favourite stout and vodka shots (haven't told my employer about that - They'd just encourage driking on the job). I'll try to be carefull and not overshoot it... Ah what the hell, who gives an elephant?
Boy, I miss Dave in situations like these...

Still 22 minutes to midnight here, and I'm just home from the pub.

I had to go to the pub, we'd run out of bread.

Yes, you see I had to drop a T-shirt from Brazil off at her mum's house.
I forgot to take the T-shirt.
I did, however, remember to bring the bread back.
And some strawberries.
In unrelated news strawberry sandwiches are disappointing.

LOL
I'm intrigued! Thanks for brightening the time I have to spend in work limbo in the wee hours of the morning... I hope that you're not in trouble with the right arm of the law (MIL) now...

To be honest the MIL paid for most of the beer.
Well, she ordered it, the FIL paid for it.
Time for bed I think.

Isn't 0.14% quite high? How many beers would that be for a 80kg male?

About 3.5 pints of English beer, or 3.5 gallons of Miller Lite.

This is what I got in my email today... I had to laugh at the sales speech...
A client of mine are in the process of redeveloping their customer-facing web apps. 100,000 lines of fresh JS code have been written to date, along with 70,000 lines of HTML.
My client want to attract candidates that are already happily employed. They'll be good at what they do, enjoying their work, and probably won't have considered leaving. However, they'll see this as a genuine career enhancing opportunity, working for one of the most developer-friendly employers in Sydney, with a commitment to hiring and retaining the very best talent.
If you know anyone who fits the bill, please feel free to get in touch.

Was sent me a link[^] to the above - not heard of it before but looks interesting. Does anyone have nay experience of this program? If so, can you share your experience?

No, but I am greeted by a very dislikable webpage when I click that link

I am about to renew my website hosting with goDaddy. I would like to change the site from http to https, in keeping with the goal to make the whole web https. In speaking with goDaddy, I was told that such a change requires an additional $65 per year. Although that amount is within reach, I have concerns that I may be using the wrong hosting service.
So my question is "what website hosting service is recommended, and why?"

Gus, I'm surprised you're still with GoDaddy. My money's on LiquidWeb[^]. Have been using them (through a reseller) since 1997.

My site is hosted on GoDaddy and I had one mostly minor hiccup with them because they upgraded their hosting servers and then required me to migrate everything.
At first I was quite annoyed, but then the migration went well for the most part and the hosting is better than it previously was (it's a windows hosting account).
Also, from what I can tell they are about the cheapest you can get if doing SSL and migrating to it is supposed to be seamless. I've considered moving to SSL in the future but haven't done it yet so I'm not sure.
Good luck.

Check out StartSSL[^] man. You can't get cheaper than free.

GoDaddy's web hosting sucks. Just about anything is better. I use them for my domains, but not for web hosting. Instead of paying the extra $65 a year, you should try something like DreamHost[^]. They use SSDs for all their web servers - even the shared ones.
And for SSL, if it's a personal site, then use StartSSL[^]. It's free and you won't get browser warnings with it.
