It’s one of the few remaining unknown references. It pre dates the First World War and first appeared in print in the US referring to a baseball game. Officially there isn’t a true definition but I like to think it comes from the sailing ship days of the navy. There is another variant with...

I was in a hotel in China a few weeks back and there was a delivery robot there doing food delivery’s from the street to the rooms. It used two different elevators to get to the various floors. It was on the go pretty much continuously. A little disconcerting to be waiting for the elevator with...

Received and panic set in.

Unless you are very lucky it’s going to split or at least crack. The other caution is that if they are using it as a chopping board that’s actually what they might finish up doing, chopping, and split the log. End grain chopping blocks tend to be laminated from lots of small blocks with the...

Normal in Germany…

That’s the beauty of OwnCloud. It uses your own storage. I have raid storage with two redundant backups, one offsite in my shed 😀. I won’t use third party cloud storage for anything I want to keep. I got bit by apple with their original .Mac cloud. I had all my images there. I shifted them to...

If you want to synchronise your computers grab a copy of OwnCloud. It’s FOS and very reliable. I run the cloud server in a VM on one of my computers. I have full cloud sync across all my computers and access to the files on other devices. The main reason I have it is for synchronising my photo...

You could make it a real challenge and do a gift for everyone 😜

The image from that site with Josip Broz Toto prefers Myford Might work

This popped up in my YouTube list today. It might interest your niece.

That’s a nice idea. Looks great too

I’m jealous already. But welcome 😀
