Park Run

 Phoebe and I did park run.  I little faster than last week.  Ran the first half non stop.  Some walking segments on the return leg.  Phoebe is getting better fast. When she gets going she is formidable.

Rocks Riverside parkrun results for event #511. Your time was 00:40:31.

Congratulations on completing your 24th parkrun and your 16th at Rocks Riverside parkrun today. You finished in 415th place out of a field of 510 parkrunners. You were the 226th male and came 11th in your age category VM60-64.

Find My Computer

Every now and then, one of the work computers goes missing.  Yesterday I saw a post from a friend that said her kid's school computer had gone missing.

I figured I would see what Microsoft have managed.

 

Googled 












 


 


So far so good
Of course this is my device and the whole idea is to find it when I don't have it.
Mind you the Find my pen sounds interesting.  Can I also get find my keys, girlfriend, kids...

 

 

 


 

 

 

 


 This is where it gets messy.

I have two microsoft accounts.  A personal one and a work one.  In my opinion, Microsoft's arrangements for small business are crap.

Will try the personal one first.

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

Getting Excited

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It took several attempts but eventually shows the location fairly close to the actual location.



Sometime I will try to do the same thing for one of my company machines.  But that is another day.

1 Advise Centenary I can't coach - ✅

The next question is how to travel and what to include on this trip. 

2 Dogs-
Do I take Mags? For her mental and physical health, I try to take her with me on weekends. Her normal Sunday includes a ride in a tinnie at Centenary.
Unfortunately Brisbane is very up tight when it comes to dogs. Much more up tight than Europe or UK. 
Train Bus - No dogs
City Cat - Yes Dogs on weekends. With a name that includes Cat, kind of seems appropriate that Dogs should be included. 🤔
Brisbane City Botanic Gardens - Dogs on lead allowed.

3 Could catch up with Phil who lives in City. 

4 Could ride. 
I suspect I'd need to leave at 6 am.
