I was tempted to make a joke here, but it would most certainly have been in the poorest of taste, so I will refrain from that, and instead I'll congratulate you on having such a short way to work.
Actually, I myself used to live only 5 minutes from work, but then I just HAD to go move out in the country side. Nice nature, but it's prolonging the commute considerably.
The MOST ANNOYING thing is that my company had promised to provide me with a parking space, but not yet done so. So until they get their collective fingers out, I have to take public transport, which takes me TWO elephanting hours each way (as opposed to around one hour each way in car as mentioned)!
Anything that is unrelated to elephants is irrelephant Anonymous

You may move the joke to the soapboax
The really nice thing of being 15 minutes from the office is that I'm living in the middle of a forest - definitely country-side

I work at home. It's quite amusing to see where Google thinks I work.

Once again the yearly physical onslaught was attempted, but this time, I had a secret weapon: Doing some seriously hard training including 2 hour hikes and cycles in some local mountains and a lot of daily 12 minute steep ascents.
The result? I skied like I did 20 years ago!

My latest candidate on "ugliest functional CSS selector":
#someTable th:not(:first-child):not(:nth-child(3)),
#someTable td:not(:first-child):not(:nth-child(3)) {
display: none;
}
I would so like to meet the design committee for CSS one day. Preferably with a raw fish in my hands[^].

Ugly. Granted. But how that's exactly 'functional'?

Part of the monstrosity I'm currently working on wanted the ability to page through columns of a table - first column must always show, then one of the others. That was part of the solution - I just need to update the number in the second :not for each column. So, functional at the moment.

Ugly, maybe, but extremely useful:
Quantity Queries for CSS · An A List Apart Article[^]
One I almost used the other week, to apply different styles to the first item in a list if there were an odd number of items:
.product-box:first-child:nth-last-child(odd)
{
...
}

I don't see how being able to chain pseudo selectors makes CSS a bad thing. You can format it anyway you want if you're concerned about readability...
#someTable
th:not(:first-child)
:not(:nth-child(3)),
#someTable
td:not(:first-child)
:not(:nth-child(3))
{
display: none;
}
If you don't like the lack of stuff like inheritance, just about any CSS preprocessor these days will give that to you.

Hi All,
First post after a day NotInThePub, working on a trial basis for the company I had the interview with. Seems not too bad! . Mentioned a way of doing tests using ATE they liked . Met a customer that had an idea for a product that seemed interesting (read so bloombin' weird that only he and a friend wanted one) but do-able. Sadly discussion of money is for tomorrow (talk of covering costs at least!) but all good , need as it has been a little while since I have had to whole early morning thing...

Sounds good!
But I must say working for a company, for any amount of time, without talking compensation first seems a bit odd. Then again I've not looked for employment for a long time, things may be different these days.
