Spent large chunks of today writing code to automate Internet Explorer - things are slowly coming together in a useful way.

Then met with Erin in the Filmhouse (for about 15 minutes) to hear about flat-hunting - there seem to be many crap landlords about.

Then on to the cinema, where I got tickets for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and then waited half an hour for Lilian to turn up (was running very early to ensure I got tickets).  It was A Good Kid's Film, and full of about as much absurd prettiness as you'd expect.

Then back to Lilian's where I took photos for the cover of her fanzine.

And then buses back home, followed by a 10 minute walk, wherein I looked up from my Pratchett to see a fox walking down the street, carrying something in its mouth.

And now home, to read LJ, write this, and avoid the cat rubbing her head on the keyboard and deleting things faster than I can type (lost two sentences so far).

Lol! Our cats are banned from this room. Their last sortie caused £500 worth of damaged, destroying two cd drives, three keyboards - two of them on a laptop - one of the aforementioned laptops, and one hell of a lot of cables. Little blighters...

What was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory like? Other than a good kids' film :P. And code to automate IE. Good luck, you, my friend, will need it :P.

I wish they'd support CSS2 in any nontrivial way...

It was very faithful to the book, and it was well made, with Tim Burton's usual style. Worth seeing, as long as you remember it's a kids film.

And the IE stuff I'm writing is fairly simple - just remote controlling a window to go to an address, fill in a series of forms and then return some text from the final page. No need to actually write any HTML or worry about behaviour in a complex way.

Ahh, good, I may go and see it...

Lol, that isn't really IE abuse control, it's just "web app" development. I thought by "control IE", you meant some horrendously insultingly painful ActiveX Kludgefest which would appear as Gates sticking his middle finger up at those who dare not use IE 5.5 or later....

I'm not doing web app development. My app is a WinForms GUI that (at one point) opens an Internet Explorer window, passes it a URL, waits until it gets there, fills in a form, waits for the response and then gets the values returned.
