This is what a split second looks looks from several different perspectives. https://www.dropbox.com/s/g1jkzgnpd607u70/SplitSecond.pdf

The Mac User Group's FirstClass BBS server will be shut down tonight, in about 25 minutes in order to copy everything across to the 'new*' Mac Mini server. Then tomorrow the administrators will set up, install & test the new arrangement. They expect to be finished by 3 pm tomorrow (Monday). So, this time tomorrow, hopefully the new server will be operational.

*new to the group. It's actually a pre-owned one a generous member let go at rather less than its true value.

I remembered almost everything. Except the car keys. Had to go back inside for them.

I wonder what I'm going to leave behind at Mum's place today? Two weeks ago it was a multi-meter with a variety of test keads and a precision screwdriver set.

Mum's loungeroom reading lamp failed. My brother & sister found a loose fitting and when they put it back together & tried a new globe, it didn't work so it was thrown out.
Mum asked me to give it a final look over. Turns out the globe was a dud. All fixed.

Popping pills to try to get rid of this gout, it's really slowing me down.

Bummer. Looks like a favourite tea brand is no longer available in the supermarkets. Seems I have to buy online but there are still some tea shops to check first.

I buy small tubs of egg fried rice which I reheat in the microwave for a simple lunch but while tasty enough with basmati rice, carrot, peas & chopped egg omelette pieces, it lacks something. That is rectified by the inclusion of slices of Chinese lap cheong pork sausages. They really lift the flavour.

Yay for you both!

Aaaanndd, just as I start recovering from the twinge in my back that made walking so difficult, I developed gout in my left ankle overnight. Which makes walking even more awkward. Trying to favour one ankle without stressing the hip/back area on the other side is nigh on impossible. Ergo, I'm housebound today, I had hoped to visit my mother some 25 minutes away by car.
