It was a gorgeous weekend here in Edmonton and we took advantage of the weather to enjoy some outdoor fun. Diannne's sister & hubby were in town for a visit so on Saturday after a nice liesurly brunch out on the patio we took them to see Midsummer Night's Dream, the play we had seen on Wednesday night. They loved it and Dianne and I found it was better the second time around, mainly because we had better seats and so could hear and see what was going on better. Also we didn't have rain pelting us in the back of the head. Following that we went out for a birthday celebration meal. Dianne had been craving a Dairy Queen treat all day so we accomodated her by heading to DQ for dessert. We finished off the evening with a movie before hitting the sack quite late. Then on Sunday, Dianne and I actually got out on the bikes and tested the newly paved bike track near our house. I'm hoping to get out and do a little more riding this week although there is still a little soreness when I ride so I will have to take it easy.
I've been checking out a new search engine lately called GuruNet which is actually kind of cool. It allows you to do a search of any word in any document you are working with in Windows by Alt clicking on the word. It pops up a definition box with all kinds of other information and links to other websites having to do with that topic. It seems to sort out all the worthwhile stuff from all the chaffe. It's available at www.gurunet.com. Unfortunately it's only free for a limited time and then you have to upgrade it for full functionality. Another search tool which puts an entirely different spin on search results is KartOO which displays the results in a graphical format that is a bit confusing at first but is definately interesting. It takes a bit of getting used to.
