Time for Bed, said Zebedee November 15, 2013

Zebedee has just boinged onto my TV screen on his big-spring lower body and told us all that it is “time for bed”. I concur Zebedee. Good night everyone!
For those of you who are not of UK origin and of “a certain age”, Zebedee was a character on the BBC Children’s TV Program The Magic Roundabout. At the end of the program (5 minutes of oddly surreal kids entertainment) more often than not Zebedee would arrive (if not already present as part of the narrative arc) and announce “Time for Bed” and that would be the end of the program. I won’t go into the rest of the details but for those of us who grew up with it, Dougal, Florence, Brian, Zebedee and Ermintrude the cow were large in our childhood. Dylan though was odd…
Well, for me it is “Time for Bed” children. I started working in IT almost exactly 24 years ago on the 13th November 1989, arriving wearing my new (cheap) suit with (shiny) briefcase clutched in my hand at a (tatty) office block in Bristol owned by the NHS. It housed their regional computer department for the South West of England.
And on the 15th November 2013, I will exit a much plusher office, no suit on, no briefcase, and I will go home and, for many complex reasons, I will “retire”. This does not mean I will stop working in IT and it *may* result in me being a more regular blogger and more of a teacher than I have been for 2 years, but let’s just see, Boys and Girls.
What it does mean is I am stopping doing the 2 hour commute into and out of London every day, wasting my life. It means I am not signing up for 6 months on a single project on the basis of a couple of 30 minute interviews. I am also not signing up for 4 weeks and then finding it becomes six months – as when that happens it is *always* 6 months of misery trying to undo the work of a dedicated hoard of hopeful but under-skilled youngsters being forced to do a job they lack the training for by people who should not be allowed anywhere near management positions (as they see “management” as a way to gauge their importance, polish their egos and garner more cash – rather than as a role that should encompass “nurturing, developing, admonishing and making the most of your team(s)”.). It means I won’t have to play by corporate rules any more, which is good as I am finding it harder and harder and harder to do that without coming home and being really quite mean to my cat, and she does not deserve that as she is friendly and quite forgiving really. Neither does my wife deserve it, but if I am mean to her, she punches me.
What I do hope will happen is that, after a couple of months to get a few things sorted, I will continue to get the odd call I seem to get about once a month where someone would like me to just help out with a specific problem. Occasionally I have been able to say “yes” and it has been interesting and enjoyable, but usually I have been in the middle of one of the situations that resulted in my rant above and have had to say no. If I do get the calls, it will be great. I would like to earn enough so I can still do the conferences and present and meet people and talk about interesting problems and drink beer. If not, I have a lot of other things I want to have a crack at.
So I am not sure what awaits me now. But I am “retired”. I have calculated that from now to my demise I can afford to buy a tin of beans every day until I die. Plus some bread, so beans on toast is possible. That is enough. I did not retire 9 months ago (as was my original plan) so, as a result, now I can afford once a week to buy a very cheap bottle of wine. Something better than Blue Nun. If I get more work, I could step up to beans and cheese on toast. Hmmmm!

Reviews for "The Science Behind the Magic: How the SP105E Magic Controller Works"
1. Jessica - 2/5 stars - I was really excited to try out the SP105e Magic Controller, but I was quite disappointed with it. The app that you have to use to control it was glitchy and difficult to navigate. The lights also didn't sync up properly and the colors were not as vibrant as I expected. Overall, it just felt like a cheap and poorly made product.
2. Alex - 1/5 stars - The SP105e Magic Controller was a complete waste of money. The instructions were poorly translated and confusing, making it incredibly difficult to set up. Even after finally getting it connected, the lights would randomly turn off or change colors on their own. It was a frustrating experience and I would not recommend this product to anyone.
3. David - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for the SP105e Magic Controller, but it fell short in terms of functionality. The app was clunky and not user-friendly, making it a hassle to control the lights. Additionally, the range of colors and effects was very limited, and it lacked the customization options I was looking for. I ended up returning it and opting for a different controller that offered more features and a better overall experience.
4. Sarah - 3/5 stars - The SP105e Magic Controller had some potential, but it didn't quite live up to my expectations. While the app was easy to use and had a decent range of colors and effects, the build quality of the controller itself was lacking. It felt flimsy and not very durable. Additionally, the adhesive on the back of the controller was weak and kept coming off, making it difficult to find a secure placement for it. Overall, it was an average product that didn't impress me.
