Nope. Just ordinary symbols. I'm not sure if there will be time to do varicolour. That's normally Ralf's decision once I hand the set over.

I bought a mouse! It's the cheapest mouse on the planet. I figured that I couldn't tell by looking at all the fancy colours shapes and flashing lights, nor by whether it was shaped like a Land Rover or a skull - couldn't tell which might be better or more reliable than any of the other 3 button mice. So I just got an ordinary office mouse. If it breaks, it breaks, but it's not so expensive I can't afford to buy another different make of ordinary office mouse :)

Hi Everyone :)

This week, Ralf will be blowing up a map live on the PF Live Mapping stream :)

Please come along and join in the fun.

Back to the ribbon banners for a while until they are finished.

I've managed to sort out a kind of symbol jigsaw set that you can use to make variations of multi-fold title banners. It's not perfect, and it can be a bit tricky to work out which bit to put where, but at least it snaps together pretty seamlessly.

I've procrastinated the final decision. I took the mouse apart and cleaned out all the fluff (well, it is 12 years old and been through hell with me). It's more or less ok now so I've got more time than I thought I had.

@Quenten This mouse is an ordinary mouse with a USB cable to the PC. I prefer them to wireless because they're greener.

I think the scroll wheel connections are worn out, which is why its sending ghost messages to the PC. I know its the mouse because it stops happening when I unplug it.

This is different and separate to the issue I had when the cursor wouldn't obey the mouse at all and became wildly erratic. That time I discovered I had left my pen lying on my tablet so the the two devices were competing for control of the cursor :P

The fault appears to be more frequent if I'm not actually using the mouse. For instance when I'm using my tablet to draw things with. So for now I just unplug the mouse when I'm drawing, and plug it back in when I'm not.

If the good old days it was possible to do everything using the tab key. It doesn't seem to work that way anymore. Forms are the worst. But don't worry. I will order the new one tonight, and if the worst comes to the worst I can use the tablet. It's better than tab, though not much ;)
