Same colour, same temperature, same humidity, same breaks, ... . Guess what we had for weather today?

I have been kicking around in the OLI programs but I didn't find the place where the comments get shifted. Some program must be reading the TXTCOM file backwards incrementing the lines and updating the file as it goes and the TY file must be updated (or rather forgotten) in the loop. That is about all I have to start with. It is highly likely that the process commences off the INV444R program but that is not guaranteed.

Something like a crash epidemic has broken out at the office. I had to reboot four times (2 times using the on/off switch!) today, Ronny had to reboot twice. Peter, our old manager had his PC returned today, the original complaint was a slow network, taking up to a minute to save even small files. The PC support department reformatted the disk and reinstalled everything (from an image). In stead of a faster connection he had to reboot five times during the afternoon. Up to about last week I only had to reboot about once or twice a week so I don't think the hardware is a problem. I did get the Progress V9.1 installed this week so that could be a problem but Peter doesn't have Progress installed at all.
We are all running Win95, maybe MS built in some sort of switch to degrade Win95 when W2000 came out. Who knows.

I did not read any daynote today. Hey the only time I had my browser open was to search for a phone number on the intra net and once for checking my own documentation.

Yesterday was not a good day to do web things. First I accidentally swapped my day and week redirection pages. Then I deleted the base text for the day (I 'write' most of my texts in Word Pro for spell-checking) luckily after copying to my page so I could recover from the web.
While doing all these stupid thing I noticed that, for the future days on the weeknotes page I have a closing tag for the table that will contain the daynote. The opening tag is copied from the daynote page when I fill in the page. Normally Netscape is quite sensitive to mismatching tags (forget to close a table and you get a crash) but in this case there seems to be no problem. I will have to solve the tag problem however (cant live with errors in the code now can I?) but without making it more difficult to do the copy and paste. Hmm.

I also noticed that I have been using one x too many in the title up to now, yesterday for example was the 88th day and not the lxxxxviii day. Oeps

I noticed that there was football to night . Belgium-Netherlands at that. There is a huge traditional rivalry between them, comparable to the rivalry between Scotland an Ireland in rugby. The match ended on 2-2 which is very good for Belgium and rather disappointing for the Netherlands, they have been winning most of the encounters the last 10~20 years and in tournaments they usually rank much higher. Don't ask me more than the final score because I didn't look, I just caught the result from the new on the radio.
