@matigo My Dad's just been told that they won’t cut out the small cancerous (not serious) growth on his temple. They say 'like everyone else, he’ll have to wait until things settle down'. Your nephew sounds like an urgent case but we’re living in Clown World now…
One of my aunts was due to have an operation for bowel cancer before the home imprisonment policy of recent months. It was put off…and now they’re saying it’s become inoperable and they can’t do anything but give her palliative care. I’m not sure if that comes under the hippocratic oath because technically they can say they did nothing, thus, did no harm…
@matigo Sounds like a great idea. Community efforts or combined efforts are good for the soul. By the way, I think your method of explaining what you’re doing verbosely is great too. Everyone should do it that way. It shows consideration. Even if consideration isn’t the motivation for doing it, it can make life a bit easier for other people.
@matigo The camera is just another string to my bow. Smaller, lighter and simpler than my Panny but takes the same lenses. I didn’t buy a portrait lens for taking portraits specifically. I just like that focal length (90mm equiv.) for general photography. The iPod is an experiment. Rather than use the laptop as a Swiss Army Knife for everything, I want to farm some things out to dedicated 'tools'.
Do you have anything you’re enthused about at the moment or are you anhedonic?
My secondhand eBay goodies arrived sooner than expected. 12MP Olympus PEN Mini camera, good prime portrait lens and iPod Nano. I was shocked when I pulled out the iPod. I didn’t realise they were that tiny. They look bigger in photos.
That’s a really nice way to move files between folders in MacOS: dragging selected files onto the tab of another open folder (assuming you’ve enabled Finder tabs). I shall try to use it more often.
