Getting this error on the Mac when I attempt to login to Droplr: Received message from server: Unknown Login Error: 502
Anyone have an idea wot's going on? Also doesn't work on iOS.

Sounds like my DisplayLink problem. I couldn't play purchased TV shows with DRM until I uninstalled the DisplayLink drivers.

Seems like a display error I once had, caused by out-of-date DisplayLink USB graphics card drivers.

This happens with the mouse less than a foot away from the Mac. It happened again just before I took that dizzy turn on Thursday last week. The effects of stress & irritation get amplified by anaemia. I was fighting the world and losing.

What am I doing this fine day? Laying back in bed reading Mike Lunnon-Wood's wonderful novel "Let Not The Deep."

Had another tasty serve of iron-boosting rump steak with lunch today. This time I cooked it with an electric sandwich press. Tonight's will be done in the top of the fan-forced electric oven: it has a separate grill at the top.

An enormously irritating thing the Men's Shed iMac likes to do is, for no discernible reason, drop Bluetooth connection to its Magic Mouse then regain it. I've had enough. As the person responsible for the computer I'm going to get a $15 Logitech M100 wired mouse as a replacement. The USB ports on the aluminium keyboard aren't used, so it's not going to tie up one of the four USB 3.0 ports.

The last person who owned this place planted three orange trees. Two have survived, still quite small although they have plenty of fruit on them.

@kdfrawg There's a soil & garden supply company not far away that still runs 6 1950s & 1960s Chev tipper trucks in amongst their more modern gear. The reason is simple: modern small trucks are forward control/cabover jobs and can be too tall for some demolition sites. The Chevs are at least 2 feet lower in height and are quite popular with such site managers. Often they'll request the Chevs for that reason.

@kdfrawg A big national rubbish removal company started out rather smaller in these parts 40-something years ago. Their trucks had two messages painted on the sides: "Our business is picking up" and "Satisfaction guaranteed or double your rubbish back."
