Code

I was up early to greet Ellie as she burst through the door at 6:35 this morning. Once she had finished breakfast, she ploughed into some homework due later in the week. She rattled through it, though needed a little help with a few words in the text.

We walked her to school and then, as usual, Di went home and I set off for my walk. An hour later I was tucking into my porridge before heading to my study. I mentioned a couple of anomalies encountered when I last processed my photos. I decided to try and see what was going on. I started by adding some code so that my "photo filer" could be run in test mode, only filing photos to a test library. With the test mode tested, I set about refiling many of the photos I had worked with at the weekend. Nada. No anomalies emerged. Everything worked perfectly. Without an identified anomaly, I had nothing to debug. I will have to return to this in the future.

The afternoon saw some quality time spent with the Kindle. Book number 66 was finished and number 67 started. I'm not sure I'm getting through quite as many as last year, but I always have some stacked up and ready to go. From the Kindle, I switched to a new "Rexx Programmer's Reference" which had arrived from Amazon on Saturday. This is a 700+ page second edition of an excellent exposition of my favourite programming language. I skimmed through and, as I always do, I found a few new techniques which I will apply in the future.

Zoe finished in plenty of time to collect Ellie from Athletics Club.
