Spy Journal 3.0 Filtering the web for you

Tomorrow I head off to my first training night with an AFL Masters team - for 40's and over. The good news is they only play once a fortnight to allow time for injuries to heal!

I have upped the intensity of my exercise to get me tuned up. I am pushing harder in my running - yesterday I ran up the hill I normally cycle up (as my bike chain is broken) and then back down again. Was a good hard session and I lost 1.6Kgs doing it.

I have also stepped up the intensity with the Thursday night basketball crew, now running more and more fitness and skills drills before we have a half court scrimmage. The net result they have asked me to coach the basketball and volleyball teams for their school tournament in October. Today I met with school guy to get official approval for this - pending discussions should be a done deal. After that I went straight to the library and checked out some coaching youth basketball and volleyball books. Drills will be getting tougher!

I'll check in after tomorrow night's training with a report on how I am fairing there. On and a long overdue update on my thyroid - it has almost come back to normal. It appears that maybe the radioactive iodine dose I was hit with 2 years ago is finally starting to work.

Over and Out.

Well, what an interesting topic. To be honest I find it quite difficult to remember all of these sorts of things. But I am going to attempt to write about what I've learnt about HTML so far and how I 'think' it works.

The other day Tim gave me a very basic lesson on how to go about creating a website. Here goes what I can remember from that lesson.

HTML...................................................... HTML......................................HTML..................................................

For starters, html stands for "Hyper Text Mark-up Language".  Praise the Lord for google (couldn't remember what the m part stands for).

So what is that? hyper text mark-up language? 

Fantastic definition for HTML is found at this site - http://www.webdeveloper.com/html/beginners_html.html
It told me this.....

Two good friends of ours, Jemimah and Esther Gollan, were baptised on Sunday in a  public ceremony at the beach.

Their father John is also the pastor of their church, and he gave an excellent talk about how baptism was like drawing a line in the sand, and stepping over it. The girls had previously given their testimonies in church, along with the others being baptised.

I took a couple of hundred photos. There are a bunch of the good ones in my flickr account. Here is just a small sample for you to enjoy. Click the thumbnails to see the larger pictures.

Excel uses a powerful vector system for managing formulas. Each cell can be linked to many others using formulas. In a simple way of explaining this, 2 cells can be added together in a third cell using a formula that references them. The columns are named alphabetically and the rows numerically.

Thus the first cell is known as A1.

Here are two numbers in cells.

It is easy to create a formula that adds 2 cells, E.g., =A1+A2. Entering this formula in cell A3 effectively sums the first 2 cells into the 3rd cell.
