Its very quiet in here.
Sadly I no longer have access to a computer at work. My wife’s two laptops do not tempt me, I’ve tried writing with my smart phone, but that doesn’t appeal either. It could also be that I don’t have anything desperate to say, or have done nothing worth report, but here we are, I am trying, again with an even more ancient hand me down lap top, which I will not connect to the tangled web, but attempt to download ODF files to smartyphone, and thence on to the blog.
Wish me luck.

P.S. Nothing has changed, the mice are still calling the shots, I am still dreaming of crossing to Essex, and my boat still requires attention!
pps managed to convert to docx format, but still had to copy and paste here. Progress, eh?

I’ve tried with smartphones and even the bigger tablets. My ancient Psion 5 still works at a pinch, but nothing quite beats the laptop. I have an old one I keep that’s not connected to anything and boy is that a fast machine as a result. There’s a determination in your tone to keep going at all costs. I like the cut of your jib young man.

I knew someone who worked for the Bank of England who reported the existence of a room, probably dark and secure in the vaults where one computer interfaced with another, but by means of two human beings, no wires or ethernet thingy. I like to think it was true, and is still true, but I doubt it these days!
I’ll show a picture of my jib as soon as I get afloat and someone takes one. It’s been remade with reefing points unheard of for such a tiny boat, but much needed for me!

With that much skill, you’re a computer genius to me! Hope you and yours are keeping well.
