Seems my jiggling of the dodgy switch on the LED bedlamp has been constructive. It works sometimes now.

So in about ten hours I'm co-hosting a presentation on Preview on the Mac & PDF Editing on iOS. The incredibly busy Mac User Group Magazine Editor/Secretary also (somehow) finds the time to write ebooks with iBooks Author. She recently released a basic book on Preview. I should take a look at that very soon, methinks!

There's been a major update to an iOS backgammon app that I've had for years: the game play speed is now faster on the second of three settings than it ever was previously on the fastest setting. Most noticeable with the iPhone SE. Yet to try the iPad Mini or the 5th gen iPod Touch.

I could possibly justify the price but I know I'd lose one or the other or both or the storage case at some stage.

Most interesting. $300, though.

Reminds me of the Nissan 910 wagon I used to gave. I carried a dozen 0.6 m square concrete pavers in it with all the weight over the folded rear seat area. It was a hairy trip back to Mum's place where a garden shed was being erected, the pavers were to form the concrete base. The steering was incredibly light & I wasn't game to exceed 60 km/h because up to that speed I still had some control.

Partially dismantled a 9 volt LED reading lamp to see if the switch was fixable: it won't lock in the on position. Needs a new switch. There are 6 removable screws and I sacrificed one to the Hairy Carpet Gods Under The Bed. Then I noticed three screws inside that weren't securing anything in place. Yay! Spares!

Irony can be pretty dammed ironic at times.

I fiddled it a bit for you.
