March 6, 2008 - Lights, camera... gridlock

Blog Entry on the Thursday 06th, March, 2008

A nice article in the Independent. My colleague John Tenten gets all the limelight. I like the line "controlling the single most important weapon in the LTCC's impressive arsenal: traffic lights." Anyway - John Tenten you are now famous.

Happy 3rd Birthday Connor! Enjoy your bike. Photos soon.

Had a fun weekend combining hobbies and profit. Sold two mbuilds in one day.

Also made a very small profit on my betfair bot. This is fun, combining my sport betting hobby with learning a new programming language (python). I must admit, with thanks to Jure, once I got introduced to python - via django, it is growing on me. The lambda functions are very hard to get my head around. On the other hand I like the lack of memory leaks and the ability to create an object very ease.

Only 21 days to go until the new contracts. Getting fun closer it get to 31st March. Managing change is very interesting - less of snowplough is needed.
