7:20 am Geocaching

I am back from a successful search for a cache in Nicholas Sheran Park, only a short walk from home. This was my third visit to the area, the previous two foiled by a fisher-muggle in the same location.

The countdown continues: my life-total is now 989, only 11 more finds to reach 1000.

7:30 am Photography

This time I was able to combine a little photography with my geocaching.

[9:30 am Addendum]

I had time to carry out 2 more quick searches before 10 am ( I need to stay home between 10 and 12 in case Adobe phones about my Dreamweaver problem).

The countdown continues: my life-total is now 991, only 9 more finds to reach 1000.

[4:20 PM Another Addendum]

After coffee at Tims I went for the last west Lethbridge cache that I had saved on my Garmin. It was a quick find.

The countdown continues: my life-total is now 992, only 8 more finds to reach 1000.

1:30 PM Technology

I received a telephone call from Adobe and then spent the next 2 hours working closely with a techie to try and solve the problem I was having with Dreamweaver. It was a fairly technical 2 hours and we were finally able to create a situation that worked. The next problem is to determine what needs to be done to change my system to one that works. They indicated that they had raised the rating of this problem and would get back to me as soon as they had a solution. This is clearly a very tricky situation.

8:20 PM Literature

book

I have finished reading "Surface Detail". It is definitely a mind-expanding story, but I found the overall development of the plot was weak. But I did enjoy the levels of virtual reality and a glimpse into a future far, far away.
