Wolf sent out a mailing today including details of SG-11 next November. Leaving aside completely the fact that I didn't think they'd run another, who do you think is the guest they've announced?

Why, yes, it is Teryl Rothery *BFG*

Um, is anyone out there remotely interesting in attending this event? *cringes* I know that I said no more SG cons, but...

I am so weak and shallow.

Of course, I had to pop over to the Wolf site to see whether there had been any more guest details for SG-10 and happened to notice that Neil Denis is now scheduled to appear (aw) and they've obviously been listening to [livejournal.com profile] yragg because Alex Zahara is also on the list. No Teryl though. Not that I was hoping for that or anything...

Ahem.

Third day and still not dead. Got to do a bit of SQL programming and some analysis today, which I enjoyed - most interesting day so far. Still can't get myself excited about the stuff that I'm analysing, but I did enjoy writing some nice, moderately complex SQL. I even got some nice "aha's" from the guy keeping an eye on me because I'd aliased the incredibly long table names and used some neat code. Aren't I the geek?

Spoke to the agency dealing with my new job today. Apparently the company has upgraded my position, meaning that I get more holiday and slightly different benefits. There must be a catch somewhere, but I haven't found it yet - apparently nothing else in the job spec has changed. Hmmm.

He also found a technical hitch with my proposed start date on Monday. So I may not be starting then. Huh. I've already got my temping agency working on the paperwork to dis-employ me there, so it looks like I may be getting an unexpected week of not working at all. This is also an unexpected week of not earning. Seeing the technical hitch with this bit.

However, I've got the client looking at the proposed designs for his website so that may get rolling - if it got rolling and finished next week, I wouldn't object at all to getting his cheque for the work.

Spent some time messing around in Paintshop Pro to create the FDAS badges for SG-10 next month - anyone who wants one, leave a comment or email me and I'll put you on the list. I'm closing the badges list to nominations a week before the con so that I have time to print and laminate them. Tomorrow I'll probably post the badge design - at the moment I need to scoot and change for dinner with The Girls. We haven't hit the Chinese buffet for months and we're all going through withdrawal.
