We had the annual home-owners Body Corporate meeting yesterday. It was decided, for the first time since the units were built in 1980, to form a committee of interested owners. One item the cropped up was the overall colour scheme: the seven dwellings are in red brick, with burgundy window trims, cream garage doors & Mission Brown guttering. We resolved to come up with a modern alternative for those owners contemplating renovations.
I suggested rather than relying just on colour swatches from a paint store that we go digital, take photos and use some app to replace various colours as a more representative process. Swatches in isolation are only an indication, not reliable over larger areas.
I have found Pixelmator on my Macs to have an easy & effective colour replacement capability, so I've been practicing with it.
@streakmachine I'm 100% with you re that keyboard. That's one of the reasons I upgraded the 2008 (pre-Unibody) MBP from HDD to SSD: so it would be more responsive & easier/ more fun to use, it also has the same keyboard but with backlighting.

@streakmachine Just realised I have two top-spec Apple laptops in my collection. One is the last 2005 12-inch G4 PowerBook (1.5 GHz/1.25 GB RAM/80 GB HD). The other is my August 2014 MacBook Air that used to belong to Apple (1.7 GHz i7/8 GB RAM/512 GB SSD).
My first iPhone was (briefly) a top-spec unit: a used 32 GB white 3GS that I bought from a friend 8 days before the iPhone 4 came out. Plus the 128 GB iPod Touch I recently bought.

@thrrgilag In the admin panel you can grab the right side of the window and drag it slowly to the left until the left column vanishes. At this stage the window is a bit over ½ screen width. A 'hamburger menu' then appears in the top left of the window & the left-side column can be toggled on & off at will.

@kdfrawg That's pretty much the same state of affairs with my 2011 MBP. It's sitting at around 91% capacity having completed 113 charge cycles. On the other hand, the 2014 MBA currently shows 89% after 415 cycles, although the percentage is subject to change as a side-effect of the FruitJuice battery management app.

Just tried a couple of different bath soaps, both with almond oil & vitamin E base. One also had sandalwood oil, the other used manuka honey & kelp. I prefer the sandalwood though.
Note to self: despite packaging similarities, shaving cream is not a toothpaste substitute.
