    Whilst many of us will have finished work til the new year, or are winding down and taking it easy for the next week or two, I have just read that today is the busiest day of the year for burglars in the UK. So, not feet up and taking it easy for everyone just yet.

    Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

              Burglar was the answer I use to give as a kid when an adult asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I think it had something to do with the stubble and the black and grey hooped shirt. I have the stubble and I don't always scan everything through the self-service checkout* *Fast and hard rule - if it doesn't scan after the 3rd attempt, it goes in the bag.

                Thanks Chris - for giving me the opportunity for shameless self promotion. I have written a free webcam based movement detection security piece of software[^] for anyone concerned about their home security. It really is free - I only make beer money out of the advertising. (It has been downloaded in the region of 531,000 times since its release 5 years ago - so it can't be completely crap, actually I take that back[^]) [edit - retraction of my claim of 531k of downloads making it a non-crap piece of software]

                    It probably works on 10(my professionalism just shines though in that statement). It's just that I have not installed 10 on any of my machines, yet... because I am scared of Windows 10 :sigh:
