Try this thing, you can import Sudoku puzzles directly from graphics images, amongst other things. http://d.pr/f/26yGYz

And cheat by getting the app to solve it for you.

There's another I posted 5 hours ago, did you see that one? The original was a 4k video, done with the Lumia 1520, it was 443 MB, the Hyperlapse version is "just" 80 MB & irons out the twitches.

Annoyed. The non-official Flickr app that works on W10 mobile has been killed off for WP 8.1 so I can't put it onto the Lumia 1520.

Another Flickr steam train video, this time done with the Lumia 1020 camera. https://flic.kr/p/Wmj11N

Used Microsoft Hyperlapse Mobile app on the Lumia 1520 (available on Android, W10M & WP 8.1) to enhance an existing video that was 443 MB and rather shaky. The Hyperlapse version has removed the shake & shrunk the video down to 80 MB, now uploaded to Flickr. See https://flic.kr/p/XmNbQN. I overcompensated with the exposure on the day, however.

As usual. Nothing worth watching on TV. Cup of tea then bedtime. With a good book.

New Zealand's greatest export: Whittaker's Peanut Slab. A small chocolate bar filled with whole peanuts. Just enough chocolate to hold the nuts together. Magnificent!

The new iMac will have four USB 3·0 ports & two Thunderbolt 3/USB-C ports. I plan to connect three external HDs, (clone, Time Machine & general storage) plus a USB scanner, USB laser printer (although that can use Ethernet) and a USB external 2.1 channel sound card/speaker system. Only one HD will use the USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 connection via Thunderbolt 2 & FireWire 800 adaptors.

I've bought a clamp-on unpowered 4-port USB 3·0 hub that uses one rear USB port to direct four USB 3·0 ports to the front of the Mac & the Logitech 2.1 channel speaker incorporates a powered USB 2·0 hub, so I'll have no trouble with needing additional USB ports.

It's still going. I gave up on the 3-pass overwrite & settled on a one-pass arrangement.
