Mapmaking: A good day
Oct. 17th, 2023 11:23 pmI finally started to solve a puzzle I'd set up for myself in my Edge of Midnight project tonight. I'll try to share what I did tomorrow at some point.

NOT Solved My Firefox Problem
Feb. 2nd, 2021 07:22 pmDo not use Firefox Home. That feature was taking up too much bandwidth/processor time when I launched Firefox.
Apparently, I'm not alone in having the problem.

I've had enough of problems with this one after five years.
Where's a good place in Ottawa to offload a used OfficeJet 7612? Other than Staples?

PHOTOS: Slides
Aug. 2nd, 2020 03:24 pmNoting this for future reference. There's slides in my mother's place that can stand rescuing, hopefully. Another side effect of today's ByMUG meeting, this is.

My user group helped me find a workaround, and it's something the new WiFi modem/router is useful in setting up: Airprint.
I still think that DRM is malware by definition, though.

Someone else already solved it a few years ago, and I'm grateful for that. When file migration breaks Adobe CS4's licensing-ware, there's a problem that results when you try to launch any of those programs in the computer you migrated the files to.
Here's the support forum thread for that particular issue:

Some day, I'm likely going to have to give up using CS4 forever, but in the meantime, this fix gave me a couple of years' of additional usage time. And this doesn't mean I won't be using Serif Affinity and Inkscape and Clip Studio Paint and Krita as well alongside CS4...

About My Absence Yesterday
Jul. 22nd, 2020 03:37 pmMy MacBook Pro was developing weird symptoms after I swapped in my new modem yesterday, so it became a necessity to get the file migration to the new iMac underway. A couple of false starts, but everything seems to be getting into proper order now. A few updates to some software, others look to be useless now, which is all normal enough. But the file migration took all day and most of the night yesterday into way early this morning. So I've lost a full day's job search activity.
Back now, though.

CBC/WEB/TECH: An Improvement
Feb. 20th, 2020 08:25 amPages are loading more easily, as they used to before about two weeks ago. Someone got the word and figured out a fix, apparently.
Anyway, filing this under "good web-related news" about Canadian news services' websites.

Sudden update: I just got a request for documentation from their people, including screenshots, which I've been able to provide them. So I'm hoping that this will get rectified sooner than later.
Keep your fingers crossed.

The Patriotic Millionaires group has not disbanded or otherwise gone away. So they too will be another element in the solutions mix. I'm grateful for this, but that doesn't take away from my doing whatever my part ought to be.

My Flickr and Facebook Problems
Mar. 5th, 2019 08:56 pmUpdate on the Flickr issue: when I try to open the login page?
I've got a second-hand Macbook (not Pro) that's still somewhat upgradeable, but my Facebook problem remains, right? I can't log into this account using the "newer" machine.
- Opera: blank page
- Firefox: blank page
- Chrome: blank page
- Safari: unsupported browser

Sep. 5th, 2018 06:18 amI think I have a solution to getting the newspapers I want on my way to my current day job. This has been bugging me since the start of the contract last week.
Hoping it works.

Future stations and ships will, one suspects, have their own "sweet spots" for such projects.
