Won pub quiz by a single point, and there was a tie for second place! And I contributed to the entertainment round!

We had immense fun defacing the picture round.

Went home by tube+train as I had a travelcard. Jumped on a Piccadilly line train as the doors were closing, then a Victoria line train came in just as I was walking onto the platform.

Solved someone’s compile error on a C++ forum last night, and was fortunate enough for my explanation to be the first response (a beginner’s mistake).

And today, I’ve pointed out the cause of someone’s bug in a html/js forum. (Haven’t actually fixed it for them, as he is a big boy who can (I presume) work out how to fix the bug himself.)

So that’s good karma, and makes me feel better about myself :-)

Techy questions on the net generally fall into one of two categories:

1. Easy enough that someone else has already answered it.
2. Difficult or tedious enough that I’m not willing to put the effort in.

It’s nice when a couple come along in the middle :-)
