@kdfrawg I only have to do three days.
Musing. The lord mayor of the Victorian capital city Melbourne from 1988-1989 was Winsome McCaughey (pronounced McCacky). It didn't take long at all for a radio satire group to refer to her as Pensive McTacky.
Trying a limited edition brew from a local brewery. Fig & ginger ale.
Organic figs, ginger & coriander seeds in a low-alcohol ale. Mighty refreshing.
HandBrake, popular open source video transcoder, has finally hit version 1.0.0 affter spending roughly more than 13 years in development. HandBrake 1.0.0 brings tons of new presets and support for more devices and file types. From a report:
HandBrake 1.0.0 comes with new web and MKV presets. The official presets from HandBrake 0.10.x can be found under 'Legacy.' New Jason-based preset system, including command line support, has been added. The additional features of HandBrake are title/chapter selection, queuing up multiple encodes, chapter markers, subtitles, different video filters, and video preview. Just in case you have a compatible Skylake or later CPU, Intel QuickSync Video H.265/HEVC encoder support brings performance improvements. HandBrake 1.0.0 also brings along new online documentation beta. It's written in a simple and easy-to-understand language.

Bought an electric food slicer today, had to visit three outlets of a particular chain of electrical stores to find the thing. The first shop was boarded up & closed, the second had no stock & at the third they had to get one from out the back.
Very impressed with the safety & ease of use &cleaning. Just finished slicing some cheese, done at 2mm thin.
Been reading the Dec 2016 issue of Macworld. I hadn't realised that Apple had retained 2015 13 & 15-in MacBook Pros as entry-level devices. Handy to know if you want Magsafe & multiple expansion ports.
