There seems to be an unusually high number of ladybirds around this year. Which is nice. Always a welcome sight.

Had no idea of the best place to change our excess $US back to £GB, but a quick google (or should I say duckduck now?) offered NM Money as an interesting choice with a generous exchange rate. Simply set up the request online and pick up from Eurochange at Meadowhall the next morning. And they

Saw this recommendation in the latest edition of Webuser magazine. And misread it as Porno Timer… Now there’s an opportunity for a useful app!

Having been a long-time fan of Irfanview, I decided to give Faststone another look. It seems just as fast as Irfanview, has all the capabilities (and more), and is sufficiently customizable. So, looks like bye-bye Irfanview.

I’d heard previously about HP’s Instant Ink scheme, and thought that, although it made life easier, it probably worked out expensive because you were tied to HP’s cartridges.

Needed to print something for our forthcoming trip, and got hit by a U052 error on my Canon MG5250. Apparently, it means that the print head is the wrong type – yet it’s the one that came with the printer! A quick google showed that I am not alone, and this error has been happening
