Dancing Porcupine

Amazing what you can find on Google Maps . I just discovered today that people put links to all sorts of pictures and videos on the map (I had to select My Maps to be able to enable this). Found a video of a "dancing" porcupine at the EcoMuseum near where we live (about 7.5Km or 5 miles). You can take a virtual tour here or look at some photos I have previously posted .

Word 97 limitation

Did you know that Word 97 can only display a maximum of 769 characters on a line before wrapping to the next line? I found that out yesterday, when I was trying to format some debug data for printing. My font was Courier New, my font size was 2, my paper size to 11x17 in landscape mode with margins of 0.5". Yet, word insisted on wrapping my lines. Fortunately Word 2000 does not have this limitation. It was able to print my data which had 1152 characters per line. While I can just about read it, I wouldn't recommend doing so without a magnifying glass. It looks a lot like ASCII art and it is the general appearance, rather than the actual content that I am interested in at the moment. _/\_ __/\__ ) . (_ _) .' ( `) '.( ) .'

Ecomuseum

Last Friday I registered Tania for a day camp at the Ecomuseum . I also took Jason there, but he was too young for the camp, so we just enjoyed a nice walk outside with the animals. Photo credits: Richard of Forbidden Planet
