Today's weather forecast. Good thing I have a heavy coat. 
On March 18th I ordered a Miracast HDMI/wifi dongle from a company in Singapore. According to Singapore Post tracking online, the device arrived in Australia a week later. After a month of not having received the item, I opened a dispute case with PayPal. The reply email from the Singapore mob said to contact some person name eleven and be patient.
Be fucking patient! The damned thing's been somewhere here for a month & you want patience from me.
Before I could entern into further (hopefully not protracted negotiations with the seller & PayPal) the item was delivered yesterday morning.
One end connects to the TV's HDMI port, with a USB cable to supply power to the thing. This sets up a wifi network that my Lumia 1520 can use to connect to the TV via a companion app.
A little fiddling with the settings also had it connecting to the outside world via my home wifi setup.
I've also installed the companion app on my iOS devices & Macs.

No fucken shit, Apple? Dropbox was not responding, used Activity Monitor to force it to quit. The tried to reopen Dropbox app from the Applications folder only to be confronted with a totally STUPID popup message: "Dropbox app is no longer open."
Yes, I know. I want to open it now. Please let me do so. You CUNT.
Not without restarting the Mac.
In a mammoth effort, Mac User Group volunteers have indexed every issue of the group's monthly magazine from March 1980 to April 2017.
One volunteer has come up with a stand-alone app that uses FileMaker Pro and can theoretically directly open an individual article in the Magazine folder from the index' search feature.
But it's half-baked. Both the app originator & the chief indexers refuse to update past OS X 10.6.8 and their index doesn't work well with the version of FileMaker used (v9) when the end user is running Sierra.
Allegedly, the app wallah is working on updating the app to use a newer FileMaker runtime. Can't come soon enough.
