On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

Coming back to this topic at the moment, as I'm visiting with a Meetup group called "DrupalYOW" (because Ottawa-based Drupal users), I want to refresh my memory: who in my circles here on Dreamwidth is already familiar with this software?

So I'll be doing a presentation over Zoom this upcoming Sunday.

Bracing for some more medical stuff, a change-up of computer gear as well (having been gifted some newer second-hand gear this week), and enjoyed Picard tonight.

More later.

Trying to figure out how to rescue a job search diary created in Numbers (iWork '09) without using Numbers to re-open the file...because when I try, the program stalls.

Looks like downloading and using LibreOffice solves the immediate problem. I can then save it as *.xls, and then re-import the file back to Numbers, it seems.

A bit more progress on this sketch...

The shoulder pain from Sunday's vaccination booster went away yesterday. I wasn't thrilled with having that ache renew with each keystroke at my current day job, but that's over now.

(Two more months on this contract, FYI.)

Getting a tablet computer through Air Miles points. Seems like a good idea at this point for several reasons.

Not a fan of the extreme cold situation in Ottawa-Gatineau right now this morning.

Didn't win the lottery last night. *sigh*

More later...

Things that got done today:

• Kept up the job search.
• Tried to push onward with CPAP acquisition paperwork.
• Mowed the front lawn.
• Got some sketchbook time in.
• Got walking exercise.
• Updated my Affinity design software.
• Returned an overdue book to the library without drama.
• Stayed in touch with family.
• Stayed in touch with friends.

Adding tonight:

• Watching an interview of a respected author of political satire (Terry Fallis).

Not much to mention today.

ByMUG meeting via Zoom tomorrow.

The bird-feeder hanging in the back yard is getting business. Squirrels are running this way and that, up and down tree branches and across the yards, front and back. At least one cat per month on average is getting the attention that requires "Missing" posters being taped onto community mailboxes. I've got a follow-up dental appointment tomorrow, and probably one more day of data entry work to finish after that's done. Also, I need to talk with my CPAP machine supplier about paperwork I believe I should have signed by now. The job search continues. This afternoon, ByMUG has a Zoom meeting for me to be part of.

Meantime, I have compression socks to take out of the wash to air-dry.

I started looking at the training videos available via Skillport for that version.

I see from their website that the development teams have already moved onto v. 9 as a stable release, and I suppose I'm going to be playing catch-up for some months if I really want to understand what I can do with this and how to do it...?
