Twenty-four hours ago I had an anti-shingles vaccination and was told to expect pain in the jab site for a couple of days afterwards. Frankly, I’m over it, I’ve hardly had any sleep because of the pain and discomfort.
Although, as one of my sisters said, it beats the pain of actual shingles .
Once you get past my foul mouth, anxiety, dark sense of humour, awkwardness and sarcasm, I really am fun to hang out with…
@matigo I bought the original Apple Magic trackpad to use with my 21.5 4k iMac because of the positive experience I'd had with MacBook trackpads. I could never get used to it. Eventually I bought an app that included three different adhesive numpad stickers and software to remap the touch surface to operate as a numpad with or without a smaller trackpad surface, depending on my preference.
@hazardwarning Back in 2012 I bought a Logitech K760 solar-powered keyboard, it's still going strong. I paid A$89 for it which had one of my UK contacts who'd (recommended the device) somewhat annoyed as he'd paid £99 for his. The exchange rate in those days was almost A$2 to £1.
Rather impressed with my new mouse, it's a Logitech MX Master 3S multi-button mouse that has 5 programmable buttons and a sideways scroll wheel that can also be set to different functions. It's of ergonomic design, fits the hand well and different apps can have different functions allocated to them.
The attachment shows the functions I have set for general use, Safari-specific and Zoom-specific usage cases.
I have found a USB hub that can allow the Apple SuperDrive (DL DVD burner) to connect successfully with a Mac. It uses a 1-metre long Thunderbolt 3 cable to connect to the Mac. This is not, however, a cheap item.
I refer to my Apple Studio Display. Any one of the three 10Gbps downstream USB-C ports will do the job.
A Little Poem Regarding Computer Spell Checkers…
Eye halve eh spelling chequer;
It came with my pea sea.
It plane lee marques four my revue
Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.
Aye strike a quay and type a word
And weight fore it two say
Weather eye am write oar wrong.
It shows me strait aweigh.
As soon as eh mist ache is maid
It nose bee fore two long,
And eye can put the era rite
Its rare lea ever wrong.
Aye halve run this poem threw it,
I am shore yaw pleas two no.
It's letter perfect awl the weigh –
My chequer tolled me sew.
Seeing my GP tomorrow afternoon. I had a fall at home yesterday morning and suffered a headache and sore back for most of yesterday. Those conditions have passed but I have soreness across the lower part of my stomach, it hurts when I cough or make twisting movements. Likely a strain of some kind. We shall see. My GP is an old-fashioned one: prefers poking and prodding to automatically getting imaging services involved. Getting up from a sitting position has its moments,too.
TIL the rear entrance to a bar and gaming establishment is on Stumblers Lane. How appropriate.
