At one of the Mac User Group satellite subgroups we use this hider to prevent people from tripping over the power cable that leads to the video projector & Apple TV. On previous occasions we've had to use masses of duct tape to try to hold it onto the carpeted floor, but it always wanted to curl back up into its transport configuration of a roll.
I got sneaky this time: Used some super-sticky adhesive Velcro hooks stuck to the bottom of the cable hider. Previous experimentation told us the carpet on the floor would work well as the loop part of the velcro equation.
Operation quite successful, the whole thing was flush to the floor, no gaps to cause trips & the velcro remained attached firmly to the hider when we packed up.

IT WAS A DARK & STORMY NIGHT……..

Bob Hill and his new wife Betty Hill were on vacation in Europe… as it happens, near Transylvania. They were driving in a rental car along a rather deserted highway. It was late and raining very hard. Bob could barely see the road in front of the car. Suddenly the car skids out of control. Bob attempts to control the car, but to no avail! The car swerves and smashes into a tree.



Moments later, Bob shakes his head to clear the fog. Dazed, he looks over at the passenger seat and sees his wife unconscious, with her head bleeding! Despite the rain and unfamiliar countryside, Bob knows he has to get her medical assistance. Bob carefully picks his wife up and begins trudging down the road.
 
After a short while, he sees a light. He heads towards the light, which is coming from a large, old house. He approaches the door and knocks.


A minute passes. A small, hunched man opens the door. Bob immediately blurts, "Hello My name is Bob Hill and this is my wife Betty Hill. We've been in a terrible accident, and my wife has been seriously hurt. Can I please use your phone?"



"I'm sorry," replied the hunchback, "but we don't have a phone.. My master is a doctor; come in and I will get him!" 
Bob brings his wife in. 

An older man comes down the stairs. "I'm afraid my assistant may have misled you. I am not a medical doctor; I am a scientist. However, it is many miles to the nearest clinic, and I have had a basic medical training. I will see what I can do. Igor, bring them down to the laboratory."


 
With that, Igor picks up Betty and carries her downstairs, with Bob following closely. Igor places Betty on a table in the lab. Bob collapses from exhaustion and his own injuries, so Igor places Bob on an adjoining table. 

 


After a brief examination, Igor's master looks worried. Things are serious, Igor. Prepare a transfusion." Igor and his master work feverishly, but to no avail. Bob Hill and Betty Hill are no more. 

 


The Hills' deaths upset Igor's master greatly. Wearily, he climbs the steps to his conservatory, which houses his grand piano. For it is here that he has always found solace…  He begins to play, and a stirring, almost haunting melody fills the house. 

 


Meanwhile, Igor is still in the lab tidying up. His eyes catch movement, and he notices the fingers on Betty's hand twitch, keeping time to the haunting piano music. Stunned, he watches as Bob's arm begins to rise, marking the beat! He is further amazed as Betty and Bob both sit up straight! 

 


Unable to contain himself, he dashes up the stairs to the conservatory. 

 
He bursts in and shouts to his master: 

 
"Master, Master! ….. The Hills are alive with the sound of music!"

Back to using the Logitech K760 solar Bluetooth keyboard with the iMac: I prefer the greater key travel and it's a closer match height-wise with the Belkin YourType BT keypad.

So I need to get myself off to the recommended medical imaging establishment tomorrow for x-ray & ultrasound checkups.

Looks like the Prednisolone won’t fix my ankle problem: I had horrible pain this morning on my first pee break. I have worked out that it’s very wise to fit the brace before getting up first thing in the morning & not to swivel on the affected foot.

“Sir, your car was swerving all over the road.”
“Sorry officer I’ve had ten pints and feel pissed.”
“That’s no excuse to let your wife drive.”

I heard the funniest time travel joke tomorrow.

I always carry a picture of my wife and children in my wallet.

It reminds me why there’s no money in there.

Did you hear about the bloke that passed away after taking 100 Viagra tablets?

They couldn't close his coffin.

A German walks into a bar and orders a Martini.
The bartender asks, "Dry?"
The German responds, "Nein, just one."
