* Oh, cheers, Olga: I’ll have a read of those, later. I notice the e-waste chap’s got in trouble for giving away Windows install discs with computers he’d repaired. Which is silly, from where I’m sitting! Saying that? The first Mac I got was a second hand one from a recycler, who put a version of Linux called Ubuntu on the Macs and PCs he sold: as it was a) free, and b) had no associated copyright issues^. They write that into the license.
† Morning, Anne! How was the weekend … ?
‡ Ah HA! The technical stuff! That’s done it now, Debbi: I’ve got this image of you rolling up your sleeves, and waving a spanner about!
^ The license for open source software — including Linux distributions like Ubuntu — means the makers can give it away for free … and that we can pass it on for free: so long as we tell people where we got it from. So if I want to sell you a second hand computer, I can sell it too you with Ubuntu, without getting sued: so long as I tell you where I got it, and what changes I’ve made.

So had to ring back get the rice, he had charged us so was annoying. So sat for half an hour wondering whether to eat first half or wait &heat it back up which felt annoying. Chilled out rest weekend watching Years and Years, back to back loved it

He claims he went to all those companies with suggestions but, of course, they're only interested in selling new models and making more money... Good news about your inheritance.
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
