Less than four days to go! This morning I started feeling that nervous excitement that you get with something Big and Scary that you know will be fine really. Reminded me of how I felt the morning I took my thesis off to be printed!
At the risk of inducing nausea in my less sentimental readers, the nearer the day draws, the more convinced I am that marrying L is the right thing.

A productive and enjoyable weekend. On the productive front:
And, as for enjoyment:
- I've nearly finished my latest OU assessment (due in midnight tonight, but I've only got 12% remaining)
- Finished the disco music for the wedding (or thought I had till L pointed out that the version of the Time Warp that we've got is a truly awful remix, and we'd therefore be better off without it)
- Bought the Best Man's present (and I'm pleased with the choice)
- Helped get the house ship-shape for next weekend
And, as for enjoyment:
- L and I treated ourselves to a meal at Restaurant 22 on Chesterton Lane. It was excellent—I'd definitely recommend the place. We agreed, though, that it wasn't quite as good as the Hotel Felix
- Managed a sneaky couple of pints with Symbelgal in the Granta while L finished shopping

Bushcraft!
I've just booked a place on Ray Mears' Fundamental Bushcraft course in September next year! 
Leila saw that places had just become available for next year (they sell out very fast), and persuaded me that I should stop dreaming about it, and actually do it. That's the kind of girl I could marry... Oh, hang on, I am marrying her. A fortnight today!

Back in January I reported that I'd been unable to make use of Gary Keith's browscap.ini files. Well, I noticed soon after that Gary also provides a .csv version of the same file, so I knocked up a neat little script to parse one of his .csv files and write/update my database with the content. So I can now replicate the PHP get_browser() function.
