Day 817

Went to scout out battery chargers in the morning, returning in the afternoon to lay out cash. Each Psion battery replacement, est. every 10 days, costs £2 so I'll make the money back after five weeks, which isn't bad.

Started transferring the ephemeris prog to the Psion, getting the GST/Asc/MC parts worked out properly. OPL is quite economical with space because, as it's interpreted, all the run-time routines are in ROM. And 8-byte (~ 15-digit) accuracy too; but even with 107 floating-point variables in the planet routines, everything fits in the suspected 64K limit.

Watched some of Bulgaria v. Mexico. Italy v. Nigeria went to extra time so Pris may go down, though there's a 35-minute filler-type prog in the early hours that could go instead. I'll write and complain otherwise. Giro tomorrow, hopefully.
