During last evening and this night the weather as turned. It's not freezing anymore (+5°C) and it started to rain. Because the wind picked up as well, driving the rain in all directions, it is really miserable weather.

I've gone shopping again. And I return with three new mice (along with instant soup, wine, etc. ). Well I needed one as my main mouse started acting up and cleaning the rollers doesn't help. Now I do have some spare mice gathering dust but it are all serial beasts and I need a PS/2 one. And I will need another one shortly so getting two isn't a waste. The third one is. Only this is a cordless mouse with a tablet and a pen. I will try that out and if it works well I will pass it on to Martine, my brothers partner, who is schooled as an artist.

Last week I had ordered a few cables trough the online shop at Masset. I had commented on the shop site (no dark background which is good, graphics too big which isn't) he presents via an e-mail as well. When I arrived there this morning he checked and had nor received the order. he had received the mail and consequentially changed the graphics. While showing me the new layout he noticed that the order form didn't work. And he immediately knew why he was getting so few orders this last week. Auch.
Turns out he was sending the form to the wrong subnet ( .be in stead of .net). So you could shop around and fill in everything but then you'd get an error. I guess he will be testing his changes somewhat better next time.

On Tuesday I copied The Map to my own Daynotes Com mirror. I posted it but I forgot to post the updated main page so there was no link to it. Yep, it is not only small shopkeepers that make mistakes. I did that now and I removed the mail list as well.

Adios
