A very mixed day!

Well this post comes from London - piggy backing courtesy of my father's lodger's internet connection! Woke up this morning with the anticipation of driving down to London for a 'show'! It was a surprise planned for Fleur so I couldn't say too much about it before but now I can confess publicly to the world - we went to see Britains Got Talent - the 2009 live tour! Very sad I know but great fun and something very different. Here is a grainy mobile picture, (yes mobile and camera pictures/videos were allowed!) showing Stavros Flatley bringing the house down!

The disaster of the day was discovering as I pulled out of the gate from the marina to embark on my daily adventure that my CoPilot Live software has yet again let me down and refused to migrate over correctly to my new handset. The programme works but all street level mapping data stubbornly refuses to be found. The technical helpline is closed for the weekend and emails appear not to be unanswered out of office hours. Thanks ALK technologies. The software is great but if considering it - don't expect an easy ride in any technical support or issues of upgrade. I have spent the day 'fumbling around' trying to find my way about and now have to attempt navigating through all the Warwickshire back roads tomorrow to find my little shortcuts that get me home again.

A very frustrating day tempered only by the enjoyment of the show this evening. I shall leave you now, (before my laptop batteries die completely!) with a little grainy movie of Diversity giving their final performance.

Good night!

Lol In my day we had these things called maps...
Pretty good they were - never told you when you were wrong, but provided you used them right always got you to where you wanted...
I never remember that technology failing.

You ludite - remind what your line of work is again!!!

Anyway, it's working now - just a simple matter of deleting the licence key and reactivating the software so that it encodes details about the correct device it intends working on!
