Maybe

Well the Champions League final didn't end with a Spurs triumph. Maybe the Gorse Fox should have been playing!

We had a fairly typical 5-6-5 game today. The Gorse Fox's initial analysis of the teams was that we were going to get thumped. Well his analysis was wrong (again). It was a close run game and we managed to end up as 6-5 winners. The Gorse Fox was particularly pleased as he controlled the centre-back, central midfield positions well and acted as focus for spreading the ball around between our players. In the end he had managed to marshal the win and scored five goals along the way. A very good morning.

Leaving the Arun Sports Arena he popped along to LA and picked up Cousteau-Cub. Pistol Pete was still out with the dog, and Urban-Cub was at work. Jake was looking after Ellie.

Back home he has been reviewing the apps on his old iPad and deciding what to do about it. It is so old that it no longer receives updates and whilst it is very slow, it does work. One of his favourite apps was a mind mapping tool called iThoughtsHD. This has now been superseded by iThoughts. The advantage of the latter being that it runs on iPhone and iMac also. The problem is that the format of the files has changed. The Gorse Fox wrote to the developer for advice and received a response within the hour - very impressive. Unfortunately, it doesn't work because of the age of the iPad and the fact that it is too ancient to support the feature to which he refers. There are several other options, however, and the Gorse Fox will have to give them a whirl. He certainly wouldn't want to lose all the old mind maps that he had created. Some of these document the very real problems that some of Starfleet's customers were facing at the time - some solutions, and the fact they they thought they knew best (and almost never did). Next step will be to try and set up a WebDAV server on "tawny owl" and copy the files to there.
