It was a fun evening, and also very informative – seeing what other companies do.

The principle is that we need to be a great place to work, so that we attract and retain great people, who then do great work for the client. Or something along those lines.

What was interesting was the number of charities, and not just as extra seats at the dinner cost around £250 each! I figure that is a sector where employees really have to be committed to their employer and believe in what they are doing. Othe strongly represented sectors were recruitment companies, training/consultancy companies and communication/media/publicity companies

Twitter Digest allows you to ignore @replies. So i found where it was doing that

// Are we dropping replies?
if (get_option('ws_td_drop_replies') && preg_match('/^@.*/', $tw_data->text)) {
continue;
}

and used that as the basis for ignoring tweets anouncing new blog posts, by adding in the entry

// Eddie Brown Mod - drop posts that have been anounced on twitter.
if (preg_match('/^New blog post:.*/', $tw_data->text)) {
continue;
}
I checked the regular expression using Regex Plant: Online regular expression tester

Maybe my twitter digests start working again now. 2.9.1 is supposed to fi a problem with scheduled posts.

Now, currently i am not sure why I would want to pay back my loan. I cannot easily make more than 2% in a savings account, but i am sure i would be better off paying more towards my mortgage in the long term than cutting my remaining student debt.
Speaking of which, it will still be the second half of 2015 before i finish paying off my student loan currently.

I wonder if the government is just trying to get any cash in that it can…..

I am almost tempted to make my latop play it every time it starts up, then again, maybe i shouldn’t!

Yes, a page of information about the UK Theme also exists.

Now, If i had that for the start, then we would have to play Sailing By^[1] as windows shuts down…

1. Heh. That answer forgets to mention that if they notice sailing by shrinking, then they start writing letters…
