Spent 4 hours today helping elderly friends come to grips with their new 4k iMac. They were simply sick of the shit they kept having to deal with regarding Windoze 10.

You really are living up to your username!

A friend last night invited about 25 friends & family members along to dinner in a Chinese restaurant to celebrated the release of $250 per week from his expenses list: he no longer has to pay child support to his ex-wife as the younger of the two kids has turned 18.

We had a pleasant surprise when we left the venue, he had already arranged topay for all food & drink consumed. I’d seen the splendid omelettes this place does, so I ordered a barbecued pork one.

The thing was enormous, almost as big as the serving plate, chock full of seasonal vegetables & thick slices of Chinese-style barbecued pork pieces. I estimate there had to be at least 5 eggs involved it the creation of that dish alone. A deep, rich intense eggy flavour abounded. Just the thing to drive around the bend.

It’s less of a cost when the HD is a dead one

Checked the iPad for available update, it said nothing new. Connected it to the MacBook Air through iTunes & the update was available. Tried on the iPad again, the system refreshed itself & the update became visible.

iOS 11.2 update on the iPad9.7 (5th gen) is 348.9 MB.

iOS 11.2 has arrived. 331.2 MB on the iPhone SE.

@kdfrawg With my 2008 MBP I lost two tiny screws when I bumped the container holding them. I later discovered the screws that hold a 2.5-in HD together are the same length & thread, the only difference being they have a torx drive head instead of a Phillips head.

The shuffle & repeat buttons are hidden in a less than obvious place and repeat each track had been selected previously.

We’re really in the thick of it now. http://d.pr/i/0VRFDO
