OT: Absence and Brits

wtf? where have you guys been? <g>

'angin' out at the Boogerville pub, mate.

its like a rudderless ship with the brits in charge.

We're still in charge. Just not always visible. iHub, due to its size, its antiquated platform, and the fact that SI doesn't need a lot of attention, gets the lion's share of our attention.

you drinking lots of tea and stuff?

Well, since you added "and stuff", I'll answer in the affirmative.

Actually, I've noticed that the Brits don't drink much tea. Not the ones at the company anyway. They're more into coffee now. Possibly because there's a Starbucks half a block away, though I couldn't swear whether the store is the chicken or the egg.

The mother ship was finally able to hire a programmer well-versed in their native tongue and dedicated solely to Stateside needs, so we'll start seeing lots of changes (improvements, hopefully) to the Finance Channel stuff we get. And hopefully a homepage that doesn't take 30 seconds to load on satellite internet.
