Weekend libraries
Another lovely weekend. Yesterday I checked my local library which is now online and found that the video I've reserved from one of the other branches was available to pick up so that was the main business for yesterday. Got my video and a heap of other books. Knitting, with history of as well as patterns, recipe books, always get recipe books, always try to make at least 2 things out of each before sending them back. And this time art by women artists, mostly Australian. I just like looking at the pretty pictures!
While I was there and waiting for the computer catalogue I looked down and realised the fellow I was waiting on had managed to shut down the catalogue. I figured he was actually trying to see what else he could get into, maybe the internet because the net computers are heavily booked. I leaned down and quietly asked if he'd accidentally closed the catalogue to which he looked incredibly sheepish and said yes. I showed him how to open it up again. People always have to try, they just don't realise you'd have to be an incredibly experienced hacker or something to get to anything except the catalogue.
