… I’ve done pretty-much badger all today. However my plans for a long lie-in all came to naught as the most terrific storm woke me up at about 06:30. We’ve had about 11mm of rain today.
I managed to hold on until about 09:30 and then I was obliged to rise, for the “usual reasons” and that was that.
After breakfast I watched a DVD until about 12:30 and then I spent the next couple of hours bringing the blog right up to date.
This afternoon I’ve been working on a computer program. When I bought my new laptop I downloaded an updated version of one that I use. And it turns out that most of the add-ons written by third-party developers don’t work with it. I’ve been meaning to look into this for ages and so this afternoon I set to. It involved using the hard-drive out of the laptop from three years ago (thank heavens for caddies) and a lot of fiddling around.
When you are searching for the files, the options for the old version’s file extensions is not given and, much to my surprise, there’s no “all files” option. But I eventually worked out that if you type *.(the old file extension) into the “open file” dialogue box, then sure enough the required files are displayed.
There are still some that are missing but nevertheless this is serious progress and my Sunday afternoon was not wasted after all.
