Bastard fucking neighbours and their foul cunting doof-doof "music" can die in a fucking fire. Right now.
That's odd. The recalcitrant panel heater is now on 21ºC. it wouldn't go over 18º for weeks.
Had a phone call from one of my brothers. He's dropped into Mum's place to collect some stuff she needs in hospital. He was quite curious (no-one's living in the house at present) as to why a frozen meal was out on the bench & the kettle had recently boiled as it was still warm. Told him it wasn't me, try our other brother who'd probably realised there was no milk for his coffee & gone to get some.

You need to get the text out of an image or from anywhere on your screen? With picatext this is as easy as selecting a file or a screen area. So now you can get the text you need in almost no time. No need to tediously typewrite everything again. picatext is OCR made simple. We included just the functionality you need. Nothing that might distract you. That helps focusing
on the important things and saves you a lot of time.
These are the awesome features of picatext:
get text from images
extract text from your screen
You can also upload files to the app.
The MAS entry displayed picatext as all lower-case. This is not an error.
I was wondering why the USB 3·0 ext drive wasn't mounting on the desktop. Duh! it has a power switch at the back. All good now.
Got the USB/Thunderbolt ports on the new iMac sorted. One USB 3·0 is used to connect an unpowered USB 3·0 4-port hub that's clamped to the side, all ports face forward.
The other USB 3·0 port feeds the Logitech 15-watt 2.1 subwoofer stereo speaker/soundcard/powered USB 2·0 3-port hub thingie. One of its USB 2·0 ports is free, the others are used by the scanner & Apple DVD drive.
Nothing is currently connected to the front-facing USB 3·0 hub, they're for backup drives as needed & USB thumb drives. One of the two Thunderbolt 3 ports is used, connecting via T/Bolt 3-T/Bolt 2 adaptor then a T/Bolt 1 to FW 800 adaptor/FW800 cable to an external HD that's for storage.
Four USB 3·0 ports were not adequate. The SuperDrive & three ext HDs, one connected, the other waiting their turn all sit to the right of the old camera case that's used to elevate the foot of the iMac to bring it up to proper working height. The Fraudband* router/modem is on the wall behind the USB drives as is the AirPort Express which makes the USB laser printer into a networked one.
The cordless phone system plugged into the router/modem has its base station on the left, between the iMac stand and the scanner.
Trump's anti-Obama eclipse meme doesn't make scientific sense. http://time.com/4914037/donald-trump-barack-obama-eclipse-meme/
@sumudu Which part is that? Cos at the time of posting, it was still Thursday in eastern Australia.
Got thru another hard night that needed the influence of six dual-purpose antacid tablets. Normally only two are necessary when so afflicted.
