I sound my barbaric #yawp over the roofs of the world. This is by way of a test

Made it to the car battery shop. The battery I needed was out of stock. So they fitted one with narrower posts and special lead sleeves over the posts to make up the difference.

Last night at a Mac User group meeting I was giving the audience a run-down on the fnd.io website, which is an unofficial software search site for all Apple Stores. The next presentation was to be on Pages app on the Mac, so I chose to search for Pages.
The site quickly displayed the Apple app Pages for both iOS & Mac, plus several other apps with Pages in their names.
Then I went hunting for a particular book, which was found in very short order.
Some ratbag in the mob then drew my attention back to Pages with an inane question, so I searched for Pages again, but this time with the Books tab selected on the website.
Nothing was found, so I announced that there were limitations: You can't find Pages in Books.

Had a chat a few hours ago with the gentleman who bought my old 11-in MBA (2011 model) a year ago. His son who uses it at university reckons it's still pretty good and the only real problem, lack of decent battery life, is addressed via a HyperJuice external battery.

It's just after 1 am on Friday. Later today I'm headed off to a car battery place about 30 minutes away. Why choose them instead of a local place? Price, mostly. I've already bought & paid for the battery, free fitting was chosen. I just need to rock up with my printed receipt (sent via e-mail) & they'll do the job making sure no accessories lose their memorise settings.

Bought some unusual (but nice) cheeses today. A mild, pleasant cheddar-style cheese but with goats milk. Very easy-going & pleasant. Plus a regular cheddar flavoured with chunks of orange peel, lemon peel & ginger. Feisty & fruity with a nice mature cheddar bite to it.

Briefly nudge the phone.
"Hi, there! I'm Cortana!"

"Fuck off!"

No, you haven't lost the plot, baz. More like the whole frigging cemetery.

Oh dear. I fear old age isn't just creeping up on poor baz. It's galloping after him with a vengeance.
