Got a text message 9 hours ago, someone had left a voicemail message on the home phone. I contacted home voicemail on the iPhone, it was my mother saying she needed a driver on Monday to take her to her shoulder surgeon and be there at 2:50 pm. She was relieved when I said I'd made that day free ever since the specialist's clerk had made the Monday appointment back in May.

No. My hands shake too much to be able to do such fine work.

Bought the 4G pocket WiFi modem as approved by the Men's Shed group committee last week. Comes with 4 GB of data which expires in two weeks, no chance of using all of that. I've attached it with cable ties to the foot/stand of the Shed's iMac, so it'll be harder to lose & be in close proximity to a USB port for charging. Tomorrow I hope to change the connection to double-sided mounting tape, if I can find any.
I estimate the best data recharge for our usage to be 4GB for $40 with a 60 day expiry. It's a prepaid service, so if we run out, we just renew on the spot.
Doesn't tie us into any contracts.

Feeling for an ADN follower in the west of the state: he's been evacuating relatives from potentiality flood-affected areas. A temporary levee bank may or may not give way. Says he's worn out & chilled to the core. He's dealing with it in a jacuzzi with some friends.

The iPad update was totally straightforward though.

Here's something: 10C works fine on PPC Macs via the newly-updated TenFourFox version 45.4. Prior attempts on such Macs failed due to browser problems.

With all the kerfuffle & hoo-har involved in getting the iPhone Se to download its updates, I expected a similar problem when it came to the iPad. So naturally, nothing went wrong.

Started updating iPad Mini 2 to iOS 10.

Pissed off with DigiDNA. They set an email telling me I qualified for a free upgrade to iMazing 2 on my Mac. Duly downloaded it and now the slimy pricks are refusing to email the activation code despite claiming they would. #Turds
