Flakey

A bit grey first thing, but it has turned into a cracking afternoon. This bodes well for the next few days.

The new network has been rock solid for all of our devices except the Macbooks. Both the Macbook belonging to the Silver Vixen and that used by the Gorse Fox have had real problems staying connected today. In fact, the Gorse Fox has had to switch back to the old WiFi network for the moment. More research is needed, but there appears to be a lot of users having issues with the BT Whole Home WiFi and Macbooks. Clearly, it's flakey.

We had an appointment with a car. The idea was to have a test drive of a potential new car to replace the Silver Vixen's Qashqai. In the end, we were with the dealer for a couple of hours but did enjoy a test drive during which we both got to try the car. It was really very nice and the Gorse Fox expects that we will go ahead a buy one if we can get a sensible deal.

Back home, the Gorse Fox returned to the spreadsheets and plugged in the numbers from the dealer. It looks quite sensible, but it would still be nice to drive a better deal. The dealer asked what we would need to commit to a purchase today. The Gorse Fox explained that he did not do business like that and that nothing would convince him to commit today. He did put the chaps mind at ease though and promised to make a decision within two weeks.

During the afternoon Two Hats called in. He was having problems connecting to his Pi. The Gorse Fox connected through to his network and managed to connect immediately. It would appear that Two Hats had misremembered the command that the Gorse Fox had been using. Once that was cleared up the Gorse Fox asked him to demonstrate the features of Apple CarPlay so that it was clearer what could be expected. It was really quite impressive.
