Cross-platform

What a lovely day this has been. The weather has been perfect and we have all got on with different things.

Urban-Cub and Ellie headed up towards Crawley to meet with a friend in one of the parks. Unfortunately, Ellie managed to fall and graze her elbow and whilst trying to milk it for as much sympathy as possible, she virtually forgets about it as soon as she's distracted.

The Silver Vixen had her hair appointment. The plan was to get her colour re-done and start the process of reshaping the style. It can't all be done in one go as it is dependent on some parts growing longer. It does look very nice already... and the hours spent this afternoon with the hairdresser (her at home) were well worth the effort.

The Gorse Fox has spent the day on the code. Bit by bit it came together. It was soon working on both Mac and on Linux... Windows, however, would be the challenge. This afternoon the Gorse Fox fired up Osprey (the Silver Vixen's old laptop and only remaining Windows machine we have) with a view to testing what had been done. The first hour was wasted because Windows decided to download and apply some updates. Then the Gorse Fox realised he had to install the latest version of ooREXX as the version on OSPREY was well out-of-date. Finally he got to test. A few modifications were needed but by the end of the afternoon the code would run happily on all three platforms. A very satisfying day.
