Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Your proudest achievementsI just mentioned in another thread some software I wrote for the Port of London Authority which they used and still do as far as I know, to monitor the tides in the Thames Estuary in order to decide when the Thames Barrier should be raised and to control shipping. Wasn't difficult, they already had the gauges in place and some software that captured the signals as strings ("gauge number,time,height" from what I remember). All I wrote is a nice chart thing for them to view the data in real time and to smooth and archive the readings. But, if I'd fucked up, all Londoners might now be drownded, so it makes me kind of proud (that I didn't).
I also made the radiation leak software at a nuclear power plant Y2K compliant in case you are worried, I know what I'm doing...
Assuming that you haven't drowned and/or died from radiation poisoning, what makes you proud?

It's a good question, so good it'll never be asked so here's my answer now.Don't know if you know the place, but I bred the Seahorses that originally populated Blue Planet Aquariums Seahorse display tank back in 1997.
