I had a terrible night's
sleep. When I finally wrestled some of the duvet back for myself and
when the dog finally stopped trying to push me out of the bed I was
beset by the most vivid dreams. I seemed to spend an eternity trying
to shave with washing-up liquid and a tea-spoon whilst avidly watched
by "The Man with No Alias (patent pending)" and his
entire entourage.
Not content with having
my bed, my dog then had a large proportion of my morning toast whilst
at the same time blanking me. He's been in an odd mood since I told
him off last night for various crimes. He rarely (if ever)
gets told off, and when he does he seems to develop something of a
cob about the matter.
Cobs notwithstanding we
then went out for our morning walk. We went round to the park. Last
night I did some serious Wherigo-writing and wanted to test out my
efforts. I want to write a SmartPhone-based GPS game in which....
well, I won't give the game away. But I will say that my first effort
had mixed results. On the one hand it does do what I told it to do.
On the other hand it doesn't do what I want it to do. A quick posting
on the Wherigo
UK forum and within five minutes the thing was working fine (in
the emulator). I do like the Wherigo UK forum. There's never any
nastiness or arguing there. Mind you my having total admin power does
help.
As I drove to work there
was all sorts of drivel on the radio. The problems faced by people in
mixed race relationships, the problems of period pains... nothing
which gripped my attention.
With time to spare I went
over to Kingsbrook to do some geocaching; there is one there that I'd
failed to find three times before. But now I had some inside
information and I found it after only a few seconds searching. It's
actually a very good cache; excellent in fact. However the listed GPS
co-ordinates are about fifteen meters awry. And I felt the hint given
was rather misleading. But I've finally found this one now.
I still had a few minutes
before work, so I had a little sax session; despite the fact it was
on the cold side. I then did my bit, and over lunch saxed some more.
I would have liked to have saxed all afternoon, but it wasn't to
be...
Home rather later than
usual to find the clans had gathered. More of The Flash. Zoom! Zoom!
