[pen] I knew someone would be able to hatch my half-idea =) thank you!

[Tuj] You're going to have to wait another day for a morsel of chocolate. Softers just got today's.

Sorry to interrupt, but I need to get a message through to rab and the firewall here is stopping me posting to OMC/N&Q at the moment. I'm seeing a nod problem with the index page here at MC5. The names and moves displayed on it are not the same as those showing last in the games themselves. Is anyone else seeing this, or is this confined to my proxied-by-idiots world? Am I living in pre-cached hell again?

All looks fine here, Stevie.

Looks like a caching problem at your end, but I've resynched the index with the game data anyway.

[rab] *sighs* Okay. I'll resign myself to never seeing the site in it's real state then.

I could try adding the appropriate http header to try and request a non-cache.

See if that works.

[rab] Seems to have fixed it for now. Clever, you.

It's almost a week since anyone said anything, so I'll break the silence. I think I've moved into the 'finishing off projects' phase at work before my last day in the office on 23 December. How strange this is...

Not at all unusual if you are a proper professional, pen, which I assume you are.

I'm definitely demob happy now. I'm finishing off other people's jobs and bringing mince pies into work. I don't even like mince pies that much.

It gets very quiet in here over the weekend. Does that imply that most of mc5s posts are posted when the poster ought to be working?

[Knobbly] I am shocked, shocked to hear such a suggestion!

[knobbers] How very dare you??!!

I'd really like to express my hurt at the suggestion but, since I'm at work at the moment, I can't.

[Knobbly] Now look what you've done! Everyone is too ashamed to play any more. There has hardly been a move in any game for two days.

Shhh! Some of us have work to do, keep the noise down.

BOO! .....apologises to neighbours.....
