Is it possible to build a Facebook application in a weekend? Yes. I’d show you the (beautiful) fruits of my labour, but I’m not quite ready to show anyone yet. Not that it isn’t finished, just I’ve a couple of other things to polish elsewhere yet.

Aside from learning an API (oh what fun) I’ve spent the past few days sorting out Sister Two’s birthday present, going swimming at least every second day, getting a haircut, writing cheques (old skool), reading the final Harry Potter (yes, I know this is not cool, but since I got through the past six books on resort-ridden holiday two years ago, I thought I’d finish it off) organising trips to the Molineux & Southampton and disassembling my car.

The final one of these tasks is not completed yet. Like with everything in my family, all jobs should be undertaken by oneself rather than paying for anyone else to do it, and hence that is why tonight the front of my car is left grilllless and without lightbulbs.

As it is due in for a service and MOT next week it has been decreed that the touch-up paint work, the bent bumper (not of my doing) and the water-filled headlamp will all be completed beforehand.

Let’s hope I can remember how it all goes back together by Wednesday.
