RE: New computer woes.

[jcoyle]

Forgive my asking the obvious - and I know you're very experienced!
USB or hard-wired mouse?
If USB - mouse battery Ok?  USB port functions correctly with other devices?
If hard-wired - will it work on another PC?

In either case - drivers up-to-date?
No particles blocking the optical sensor?

In either case, if you have another mouse, remove it from devices in the system 
and install an old one and test.

Subject: OT: New computer woes.

I've started having a problem where the mouse pointer just disappears & won't 
come back.

Windoze10 (came preinstalled on the new computer I bought when my old computer 
died).

I've done the two things Micro$oft recommends - ♦ UNCHECKED the box that says 
"Hide the mouse pointer while typing", and ♦ CHECKED the box that says "Show 
the location of the pointer when I press the CTRL key.

When the pointer disappears pressing CTRL causes an expanding circle to flash 
momentarily on the scree showing where the mouse pointer is supposed to be.

But at the same time I can't move the pointer with the mouse. No matter how I 
move the mouse, the pointer is frozen in the same position.

The only way I've found to bring the mouse pointer back when it malfunctions 
this way is use keyboard commands CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up a log off screen 
(using the tab key to move the focus to the appropriate
box) and then powering off the computer.

Not very satisfactory.

Re: PESO Putative Aloe Buds

[Alan C]

Thanks, Dan. That's sort of what I was trying for!
I see I made a boo-boo in the subject line - It should gave read 
"Putative Aloe Flowers".

Thanks, Ann and Alan!

They are much bigger and fatter now than when I took that image.  It is a
real mess in the cage though.

Re: PESO: Free as a Bird

[ann sanfedele]

Dan, in terms of your intent (re Santa fe) it worked for me - I thought 
of that shot immediately ... but  building is too pretty from what we 
see as audience
for your symbolism to go beyond your own contemplation.  For me the 
contrail spoils the shot geometically.

I was to some extent trying to make this a parallel image to my Beige and

Memorial Day is a big deal in Somerville.  Pre-COVID there was always a

big

parade early in the morning, followed by several bike races through the
streets of downtown, culminating in The Tour of Somerville, a
prestigious 50 mile race for professional and top international ameteur
riders.

This year the weather was absolutely beautiful, if a bit hot, as I walked
through town on my way to watch the big race.  As I passed the Somerset
County Jail, two blocks east of the race course, I noticed a contrail high
above in the clear blue sky, heading out of Liberty International Airport,
24 miles to the Northeast.  The contrast between the prisoners behind

those

windowless walls and the passengers high above in the westbound airliner
seemed symbolic of something, perhaps the value of freedom.

Little marvels of Nature. Well done, Dan. They are so well fed I hope 
you don't end up obese butterflies unable to fly!

PESO Putative Aloe Buds

[Alan C]

Aloes are Winter flowering, mostly in June/July out here, but a few as 
early as April & others as late as Sept. The flowers last 2-3 weeks. 
These buds are on a plant grown from a cutting I "gleaned" last year.
