7.191 hike, moths, tech

Wednesday 06/10/2026

Joanne, I, and Marilyn went for a hike at Arastradero preserve. Lovely weather, clear and not quite hot yet. Saw this critter,

She (?) was not interested in us humans at all, totally focused on finding mice in the recently mowed grasslands.

In the afternoon it was time for the 6th floor meeting. We had much discussion of the moth situation. I and Craig have moths, little brown ones about a centimeter long when their wings are folded. The pheremone traps I put out a week ago have collected a total of five. I put out fresh traps today, but Joanne thinks I need to also put some moth repellent stuff in my closet.

I spent an hour after dinner trying to find an online site for document sharing. Joanne wants to set up a document, basically a list of possible prompts, for the writers group. Collaborative, so that anyone in the group can accesss it and add new material. Immediately you say, Google Docs. Well, no. Joanne and a couple of other people involved have a thing about Google. So I checked out a number of sites — collaborative editing is a common thing among marketing teams and other kinds of organizations. Dropbox Paper, for instance, but it like others, has so many features, including “AI assisted” features. Finally settled on CryptPad.fr which just does documents. I was able to demonstrate to her that you could get a free login, create a document, and share it via a link for editing by anyone else.
