eiffel_71One last bar of chocolate today, before Lent...
Pancakes for tea.
Did Databases exam tonight. I hit a technical hitch at one point, when the computer wouldn't allow me to save the Form I was working on as 'there was another user accessing the database'. Thinking this was a computer glitch I called Pathenia over; after I'd made a couple more unsuccessful attempts to save the Form she pointed out that I had two windows open with the database in both of them. God knows how that happened. Closing one of the windows solved the problem. She said she'd add two minutes on to my time for that, so it doesn't look like my seeking her help is going to disallow the exam attempt :)
And so on to PowerPoint.
Got to go watch Dave Gorman on More4.
