I woke to the sound of heavy rain. I had planned to take
the dogs to the woods this morning, but it’s no fun in the rain.
I got up, made toast and had a look at the Internet. The
Wherigo I made yesterday had gone live at half past seven, and two people had
already downloaded it. Were they going out in the rain? If they were, let’s
hope they were going to do the thing properly. They would have got very wet if
they fell for my anti-cheating ruse.
There wasn’t much else happening on-line today. There
weren’t many squabbles really. I munzed, I got Wordle on the fourth attempt,
and got seriously cross looking at the rain.
With nothing else to do I scrubbed the kitchen wall,
cleaned out the bathroom cabinet, and seeing the rain was showing no sign of
easing up I started writing another Wherigo. Well, not so much writing as
re-vamping an old one. Bearing in mind the cheat software looks for pictures of
final co-ordinates I’ve put in a dozen into this new one for it to find. That
will be nice for it, won’t it?
The rain eased off by mid-afternoon so I walked the dogs
round the block. As I stood up to do so, they all leapt up as well. I’d got up
for various reasons half a dozen times during the day and they hadn’t batted an
eyelid. But when I intended to take them out, they were there right away.
How do they know?
I didn’t think the rain had been that heavy, but we all
came home soaked. I then went through the Wherigo to give it a final check… and
found half a dozen issues with it.
Two hours later I packed the thing off to the geo-feds.
“er indoors TM” boiled me up a
pizza and she set off to Hastings for a booze-up. I stayed with the dogs; they
don’t like being left for any length of time. I scoffed pizza and watched “Star
Trek: First Contact” – is that film really twenty-eight years old?
Today was dull…
