We had a gentle start to the day. I had my usual call with the cousins at 9 am, and we all wished Maggie a Happy Birthday, along with the usual proceedings.
With the call over, I returned to my document management challenge, which had occupied the last couple of days. It was almost there when I switched off last night. This morning, with help from AI, I worked through the last few issues and now seem to have a fully working system. I started to test it with real data. It was at this point that I got a call from Diane. "The iron seems to be playing up. Can you take a look?". Always happy to help, I dashed downstairs and fiddled with the controls, left it to cool down, then fired it up to maximum. Nothing. Nada. Maybe it was the fuse? I changed the fuse. Same result (or lack of it).
We have had a few occasions when the iron has played up in the last month. Maybe it was time to replace it. We checked online and found a suitable candidate at Argos. We ordered it, there and then, and I went straight around to collect it. The iron was duly unpacked and handed over. At that point, I headed for the fridge to start on lunch. I opened the door and realised there was no light on. Could it be that a circuit breaker had tripped? I went to the man-cave. Sure enough, a CB had tripped. I reset it. The fridge lit up, and the iron started to work again! Oh well, we now have a spare iron!
After lunch, I returned to the study. I started to pump more documents into the document management system. It was now eating them up with no apparent problems. Bit by bit, I was working out the various controls that I had over the way in which the files were indexed and stored. I think this could prove to be useful, so I set up a backup system to ensure the whole subsystem was backed up as a single entity. I still need to test some of the more esoteric features and also the auto-timers that trigger events, but I can do that over the next few days.
