Slander cannot destroy an honest man...

Talk about packing a week into a weekend. That's what this last one felt like. Friday night I took Alex to Wagga to spend the night with Lauren and Daniel. Then Saturday morning Carly and I went back to Wagga, picked up Emily, Lauren and Zeke, and we drove to Albury to look for wedding dresses. (In case I haven't mentioned it, my daughter Emily is getting married on the Gold Coast next February.) We did no good with the wedding dress, but had a nice day out just the same. We got back to Wagga around 6pm, and Carly was meant to be sleeping over at a friend's farm so it was a hectic rush to get back to Junee.
I spent Saturday night re-grouting my bathroom tiles. I had the plumber over on Friday to see why I had water running from under the bath, and after pressure-testing all the pipes, he told me the seal around the tub had gone, and water was getting in behind the tiles and running down under the bath. I was still washing down the tiles at 12.30 am, and went to bed totally exhausted.
Sunday was a full-on clean-up day, while I trawled E-Bay looking for some wireless networking gear. I've decided I'll set up a wireless network at home, and by the end of the day I had a Wireless Access Point and three wireless networking cards, all for about $150 AU. I can't wait till they arrive so I can figure out how it all works. I like being able to take advantage of new technology. It's all good brain food.
Monday came around all too quickly, but work is really interesting at the moment. Never a dull moment working with Michael. Figuring out the queries for Access to base one combobox on another has taken me days of Internet searches, I finally got it right last night. I'm trying to do it again with a text box, get it to populate with text based on the answer in the second combobox. Now I'm really stuck. You would think it would work the same, but no, nothing is ever that simple. More searches ahead by the looks.
This afternoon I got a lesson on mapping. Tomorrow I may get to use the software. Michael has a huge scanner that looks a bit like a glorified sketch-o-graph. You trace over a map, and can add layers to maps, say little wooded areas, or ponds, or paddocks. All new and interesting.
