When I’m more organised, I’ll be starting from the end of October and working backwards, doing three or four a day until it’s all done. It might take me several years to do it but if I don’t start, I won’t finish.<\/p>\n
Another task that I’ve done this morning that took me far longer than it ought was to merge the clipbook libraries.<\/p>\n
The program that I use the most is a text editor called Notetab<\/a>. I do evrything with it, from making brief notes right up to hand-coding my own web pages.<\/p>\n The main advantages that it has are that<\/p>\n There are enough old computers here to sink a ship, and there are backups that date to about 1999, so this morning I started to extract the libraries from the various machines and merge them together.<\/p>\n having done a couple this morning, I then did a big back-up of the laptop and I’ll be backing up my data a couple of times a day from now on, always assuming that I remember.<\/p>\n While I was searching for something else, I came across a rare book going back to AD731 that has now been uploaded to the internet and available for free download. And so I’ve now added a copy of Bede’s Ecclesiastical History of the English People<\/a> to my virtual library.<\/p>\n This is one of the very earliest histories of England and, along with the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, was the basis of much of what was known about English history in the Dark Ages.<\/p>\n And that reminds me. I brought my Domesday Book<\/a> with me from the farm, but did I bring my Anglo-Saxon Chronicle<\/a>?<\/p>\n This muesli that I made really is wicked. It went down a treat on my butties at lunchtime and there is still plenty left. And after lunch I came back into my little office and carried on with Day Four of the High Arctic.<\/p>\n At the ship repairers, Aztec Lady<\/em> was still there, up on blocks. There was a ladder up to her deck but I couldn’t see any sign of any work being done.<\/p>\n The trawlers are still up there too receiving attention. I’m not sure what they are doing to the pink and white one that we saw being lifted out of the water. It was digging out a deep channel at the outside of the fishing quay by the fish processing plant.<\/p>\n This was done presumably with the aim of making a cut there that would provide access to the quay for a greater part of the day\n

<\/a>There was a break for a walk around the headland. Although it was raining, it wasn’t all that bad-certainly not bad enough to stop me.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Regular readers of this rubbish will recall that back when they were dredging out the harbour, they had a digger in the tidal basin here at low tide.<\/p>\n

<\/a> There’s a whole line of smaller boats that have been queueing up outside the harbour now on their way in to tie up and unload.<\/p>\n
