Over a spot of brekkie I
checked my e-messages. there was one to all the members of the astro
club committee asking about our availability on Saturday for an event
which runs from 10am to 5pm. I wonder what event that might be. I'm
sure I've been told about it (whatever it might be) but have
absolutely no idea what it is.
Something else about
which I have no idea is a message I received from the astro club via
Twitter. My phone told me that the astro club had Twitted at me, but
apart from a lot of @ and # I couldn't actually see any message. I
wonder what that was all about.
Yesterday I was rather
cryptic about a project upon which I had embarked. I had a second
field trial of that project today, and after one or two minor tweaks
I have launched the thing onto an unsuspecting public. There are
several types of geocache; the most obscure is the Wherigo cache.
With only a dozen within fifty miles of home, I
have created one. It's rather (very) basic, but it is
intended to be one which is aimed at beginner level. Once my
programming skills have advanced a bit more I might just embark on
one which is a little more ambitious.
Bearing in mind that this
one was built in a day and the one I did at the weekend took months
to compile, I'm quite pleased with what I've done. It remains to see
what the punters make of it.
I expect some will love
it and some will hate it. Much like the public's reaction to
everything, really. So far only one person has downloaded the Wherigo
cartridge, and she is still yet to actually try the thing out.
I played Candy Crush Saga
for an hour or so until er indoors TM"
came home from work earlier than usual. We put on our posh frocks and
set off to Maidstone. Ten of us met up in the Muggleton Arms. I
couldn't beleive the prices - A plate of steak and kidney pudding
with chips and a pint of decent ale was less than a fiver. A pint of
Adnam's Explorer (good stuff) was only £1.83.
We then brought on the
birthday cake (complete with candles) for the birthday "(My)
Boy TM", and after singing a rousing
chirus of "Happy Birthday to You" we went round to
the Hazlett Theatre where the youth theatre were presenting "Grease
Is The Word". This is at least the fifth production of
theirs that I have seen, and like all the others it was really good.
Lacey knew the words to all the songs, and there's not many seven
year olds that can say that...
She hasn't tried it because she is still off work with the lurgy :P
