MacOS
Just wanted to share how you can get a free copy of this virtualization software to run Windows 10 on your Intel Mac (Windows license sold separately). Keep in mind that you can’t run Windows x86 on those Apple Silicon Macs that you purchase in the future.
Just finished scanning another set of long notes. Had a lot of trouble scanning these notes.
I always add some water to my fountain pens to prevent them drying out in the Malaysian climate. It seems that I’ve added too much water as the brown and grey colors become too light when scanned. Sorry for that.
I’ve finally installed MacOS Big Sur on my working laptop (my previous Retina 2012 MacBook Pro, acting as a home server, can’t have it installed). Since I’m on the Developer Program, it’s on the 11.1 version. However, there are still some significant bugs. It seems that the drivers for my dedicated scanner, the many years old HP Deskjet 46460 (that produces the best scans I’ve seen), has gotten screwed. All shading from fountain pen inks become lost as my writing become something like pastel ink. In the same line a green ink suddenly becomes black. Apparently many also have the same problem, on both HP and Apple forums; I don’t know who is responsible. As a workaround, I used my “server” laptop to scan the new set of notes.
It’s the time of year again when I get my email notifying that Squarespace is going to charge me again for hosting this website. This website has been running at a loss since its beginning. As much as those occasional thanks and compliments motivate me, this website has not been financially sustainable, and I’ve always searched for ways to make some money to pay off at least the bills for hosting this. Recently Squarespace has introduced Member Areas, and is along many measures I’m thinking about. Maybe an ad-free site for a fee? In the meantime, I’ve added a PayPal link if you’re interested in giving donations. Much thanks.
Quick tip here as I deal with real work.
You know how it is when you meet with titles where the capitalization isn’t what you wanted for use? It might be what the particular source wanted for their style, but certainly not consistent with yours. You don’t want to retype things over and over, especially if your bibliography is large.
Woah, all caps there
And here a title in all lowercase
Just right click on the selected text…
And select the scenario you want
Now if you want to keep certain words lowercased, you’re still gonna have to do it manually, but you can easily jump forward by using the Option + Arrow Key to jump to the beginning of the next/previous word, then forward delete by using Fn + Delete on a Mac. But it’s still time (and joint) saving.
