… 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.<\/p>\n
I managed to hold on until about 09:30 and then I was obliged to rise, for the “usual reasons” and that was that.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
There are still some that are missing but nevertheless this is serious progress and my Sunday afternoon was not wasted after all.<\/p>\n
