When programming at every corner there seems to be another problem to solve. This can be a real pain at times. Well, most of the time. In VB, I just learned how to find a date, for instance 100 years back. It is the AddYears function. And to generate the date 100 years back, you type something like
dim OneHundredYearsBack as date = now.addyears (-100)<\/p>\n

Now, using the -100 took my a bit by surprise. It is logical, but took me some time to find. Not hours, but probably a minute or two. This is about a minute or two more than it should have. Right now I am working on an algorithm for a communications infrastructure, and I am having some issues getting it running; not actually implementing anything, but with working what I need to implement. <\/p>\n

Simplifying some of the logic I think I have got things working. The testing looks good. I will see after a few hours what the database is telling me. So far things are looking really good.<\/p>\n

Radar<\/h2>\n

What is not looking good is the weather RADAR on the BOM<\/a> Web Site. The weather looks horrible. But thankfully I do not need to be out in it driving or anything like that. <\/p>\n

Running<\/h2>\n

I was planning to go running today, but it seems that it is raining outside. I will see how it goes in another hour or so. I expect that given the weather lately that things will improve. It is certainly not the ‘wild storms’ that are predicted in the Sydney Morning Herald.<\/p>\n

Update at 4:00. The rain does not look like it is going to let up for some time. So I decided to get the treadmill out and spend some time on it. I could only do 7 1\/2 minutes on it. The stresses on the body are different from running, with no visible goal apart from the clock, a harder run since it is slightly up hill with more friction, no wind in the face and none of the open air. When I stopped I certainly neeed to have a sit down – which is what I am doing right now, before a cool shower to clean up. <\/p>\n

It would have been nice to run outside but I just don’t feel like getting soaked today. After all it isn’t ‘Summer Rain’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
