The fellow in the Men's Shed who looks after the tea, coffee & biscuit supply shattered his hip in a fall a few weeks ago. Today we ran out of milk & biscuits, on the day he made his first visit after having an artificial hip fitted.
@matigo I have a few HDs lacking cases, so they've been fitted with these things. No need now to use a SATA/USB 3 interface originally intended for use with certain Seagate drives.
Just had a pair of these delivered from Amazon. No-tool USB 3 cases to convert bare HDs into proper external HDs. http://d.pr/i/4dCT
Ordered an iPad Smart Cover with the iOS Apple Store app. Bank declined the transaction according to email from Apple. I found out why: I had used the app to check the specifications of a MacBook Pro and had accidentally hit the "Buy" button. When I added the Smart Cover, the purchase process was finalised. Repeated attempts to reauthorise the credit card failed, this was when I spotted the MBP on the transaction list. I removed the offending item as its price exceeded my daily credit limit by over 50%.
Apple has confirmed the update of the order.
#Phew.
Took tablets for my pain. I'm in bed with a hot water bottle on the lumbar region of my sore back. I have had a nice bowl of spaghetti & meatballs. The bedroom heater is on its lowest setting. Now I need time for things to work.
Cold & windy outside, just after 3 pm. I am stiff, sore & tired & there's no logical reason for any of that. Verrryyy tiiiiired.
Tried to buy a Smart Cover for the iPad today. Not in stock yet, they said in the nearest Apple Store. Yet if I order online by 2pm I can pick it up at the same store. Today. Go figure.
The family's Easter plans have been thrown into disarray. We had planned on celebrating at my brother's new home in the western suburbs but Mum had another fall last week and damaged her repaired shoulder. She's visiting the surgeon today, so another operation may be needed.
