Bugger. Reflux. 3:40 am. No antacids available, found some chewable mint-flavoured calcium carnonate tablets. Chewed two, washed down with yogurt thinned out with milk. Most antacids contain calcium carbonate.
At Mum's place, looking for some earbuds, thought I had some with the MBP that lives here. Nope. But out in my car, the almost-forgotten earbuds from the Lumia 1020. Perfect. They fit well & sound great plugged into the 6th gen iPod Nano.
Just spotted, on Twitter, an unfortunate fellow with a touchbar MBP. In the short video, the touchbar is blank but about ⅓ of the way down from the top of the screen, the touchbar contents are displayed all in a row. None respond to clicking, not even the X that's supposed to dismiss it.
I cannot believe that only two days ago the temperature was 38°C. Right now, according to various weather apps, it's 8.5° and feels like 6°C. At 4:30 pm. One week away from summer. It's pissing with rain, windy as all fuck and I hate it.
Now here’s a find! A webkit-based web browser called Roccat. It’s system requirements are OS 10.5 or newer, PPC or Intel processor. It’s being actively developed, in fact, on my Sierra MacBook Air, it’s hosting Cappuccino. Security issues prevent it from accessing 10C on PPC Macs, plus when such Macs try to work with nice.social, the browser ignores the Upload Files button. No such problems in Sierra, though. Unlike TenFourFox on PPC Macs, it does support Flash. Plus, it is a fast browser to load. It could be the answer to 10.6.8 Mac users who don’t have access to a modern secure web browser.
10 years ago a popular tourist attraction at a seaside town closed for safety reasons: it was a chairlift from partway up a hill to the top of the highest point on that stretch of land. It had been operational since the 1960s and closed after a pylon collapsed injuring 18 riders and stranding the rest for hours. A friend and his then ten-yr-old daughter were among those stuck in midair.
I've just learned that it will be reopening on Dec 3rd as a Swiss-designed gondola cable-car system. This is great news, I recall riding the original in the late 1970s and enjoying it greatly.
@JeremyCherfas A line I'm known to use is this: "You want sympathy? It's in the dictionary: between Sin & Syphilis."
