Revising the music on a USB drive for my long Saturday trip, I discoverd a number of repeated tracks. I had wondered why one particular album of 14 tracks was repeat playing when that feature was turned off. It had both mp3 & aac formatted files, the reason being that I’d burned some mp3 CDs and had to use iTunes to convert them from the original aac.
The exporting from iTines to the USB drive was done with an app called ITuneMyWalkman or ITMW, it's an old thing that predates iPhones and still works quite happily under High Sierra.
My neice from Perth (the other side of Oz) visited Mum in hospital & told me via phone call that Mum was running out of clean clothes. I decided the easiest way to deal with it was a flying visit tonight & returne them cleaned tomorrow. It’s a drive of around 30 minutes each way, mostly on freeways, so that’s doable.
@streakmachine Why use an adaptor? The first MacBook Airs used a PATA connection to a 64 GiB SSD. Should be ppossible to find an 80 or 120 GiB PATA SSD.

In Washington D.C., helicopters are often used to monitor the
traffic conditions. Frequently jammed is the Francis Scott Key
bridge, named after the man who wrote the national anthem.
The bridge's traffic problem is notorious; among some, it's known as the Car Strangled Spanner.
@streakmachine Great news. Which one is it? The one I wass given was the last one produced in 2005, with the 1.5 GHz processor.

@streakmachine There is no tomorrow. It never comes. Every time I think tomorrow has arrived, there’s another on the horizon.
@sumudu All OK now, after selecting "allow browse into any URL" in the whitelist preference, I can get it working. No need for repeatred sigh-ins.

One of the fellows in the Men's Shed group was reminiscing about his late father's naval service in WW2 for the British Royal Navy & subsequent service with the Royal Australian Navy when he came out here with his family. He'd been a gunnery Chief Petty Officer in the RAN & a Petty Officer in the RN.
He had the dubious distinction in his wartime service of having every vessel he'd ever served on sunk by enemy action, either while he was on board or after he'd been posted to another vessel.
Then Graham, another fellow asked for the father's name. He said "I do believe he was one of the gunnery instructors I had when in service with the RAN during the Vietnam conflict."
Such a small world.
I had a number of prepared soups from supermarket & grocery clearance stores in my fridge, tonight I couldn't work out if I wanted minestrone or pea & ham as a hearty winter meal.
So I mixed two different minestrones with the pea & ham soup in a biggish pot.
It's a magnificent combination, if I leave any, it's going with me to the Men's Shed for tomorrow's lunch.
