My leak is contained on the inside. I still have all the buckets &

If I get a break in the rain, I've already got scaffolding in place, so

Re: OT: Tablets or Pads

2016-10-08 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi 
And iPad is my most used computer nowadays. I use it for almost everything that 
isn't my main image processing system. I'm typing this note on it right now. 

- Screens inevitably get dirty; you clean them. 
- The iPad Pro's keyboard cover is an excellent keyboard. 
- There are many different ways to get data into and out of it. 
- There's no need to use cellular data if you don't want to. 

The iPad Pro has the best screen quality for photographs of any tablet on the 
market today. It's more reliable, and there are more apps for it, than any 
other tablet on the market today. I wouldn't consider buying any other tablet 
computer unless it was for some odd specific purpose that required it. 

But I hesitate to recommend it to you, John, because you seem to complain about 
anything and everything regardless of how good or bad it might be.

Those of us around in the 1970s would also think you might be referring
to the two female members of your party ...

"The Liver Birds" was a very popular (and long-running) British sitcom
built around the premise of two young women sharing a flat (apartment...)
purportedly on Huskisson Street in Liverpool.

I recognise the Royal Liver building on Liverpool Pier Head, but the
strange tubular glass edifice in your picture is new to me - back when
I was visiting friends in Liverpool almost every weekend the newest bit
of controversial architecture was the Roman Catholic cathedral (or, as
it was colloquially known, "Paddy's wigwam") built in 1967.

My friends lived closer to the Anglican cathedral (in fact one lived on
Hope street), which is also where Huskisson Street can be found.

The them tune for "The Liver Birds" was performed by The Scaffold, a
Liverpool group also know for "Thank U Very Much", "Lily the Pink", 
I rather like "In My Liverpool Home", which mentions the two cathedrals.

Re: OT: Tablets or Pads

2016-10-08 Thread Bruce Walker 
I like my Apple iPad Air well enough. I share your distaste for
touchscreens, but Apple has managed to make them tolerable.

Touchscreens in general suffer from so many issues like failing to
notice a touch (eg when typing on the virtual keyboard), reacting to a
touch as if your finger was positioned in a different screen location
(eg launches the wrong app), being too sensitive and registering when
you didn't intend it (especially when trying to use the builtin camera
camera).

All these issues plague any non-Apple screen I've ever tried, mostly
Android smartphones, but three generations of iPads I have used are
much less prone to them. iPads never mislocate your finger touch.

You don't need a phone SIM or account. WiFi is all I use.

You can get a simple little SDXC adapter, though I haven't got one. I
use my desktop and transfer stuff over.

It charges from anything you plug its USB cable into.

It's easy to clean the screen with a wipe. Even the back of your hand
a shirt sleeve will do. Best to clean it with eyeglass cleaner and a
microfiber cloth now and then.

I use my iPad actively for tethering while shooting (instant live
previews), showing folks my portfolio, and also surfing email and the
web around the house. I have a few specialized apps like Nest (control
the smart thermostat). I even read some ebooks and magazines on it.
And I use it to stream music to a Bluetooth adapter attached to the
stereo.

Interesting. I thought Liverbirds were something else. Presumably you tried 
to blast them with that bazooka thing in the background?

Those are the green things on top of the building. Pronounced lie-ver. Part
eagle and part - wait for it - cormorant. Carrying a sprig of seaweed;
liver apparantly being an Anglo Saxon word for seaweed. In the foreground
are PDMLers Lisa, Mark, Karin and me.

Re: OT: This makes so much sense!

2016-10-08 Thread John 

I will add this about using the web to find weather information this
morning.

Hurricane Matthew, or at least its fringes is HERE. It's raining hard as
f**k.

I've got another damn leak! I'd like to figure out how soon I'm going to
be able to risk getting up there to rig a patch.

I can't find a decent weather map (radar type) that shows where the
heavy rain is & which way the heavy rain is moving.

I just got a robo-call from my electric utility to warn me there might
be a "storm" in this area in the next few days, and that I should
consider in advance what to do if the power goes off.

One of the things they suggested was that if it DOES go off, I should
consult their web site to find out the extent of the outage. I'll make
sure to check, JUST AS SOON AS THE POWER COMES BACK ON!

Sometimes all you can do is laugh & cry at the same time.
