Microsoft Word — wonder how I can do … …
… …
… … I want a block of text in two places in a document and “live”.
Meaning if I update either, then the change is reflected in both places.
Any one have an idea how to do it?

APPLICATION: SNAPCHAT on iPhone7+
Tuesday, April 18, 2017
Interesting.
A younster was surprised that a fat old white guy retired injineer, who’s just a poor old senior citizen on a fixed income, would have SNAPCHAT on his phone.
I told her: “I don’t like it. I don’t use it that much. I don’t understand the UI.”
Or something like that, because of course, the messages disappear. Argh!
I like to see what I said. And mull it over. See what the other person is responding to.
Also, it doesn’t save pictures. Even on my local “cameral roll”. YELP does that for me.
AND, it doesn’t allow you to use an existing bitmoji easily. But it can be done if you understand that “create” doesn’t mean what I thought it did— from scratch.
P.S. Feel free to give me your insight.

RECOMMENDED: Google’s PhotoScan app
Monday, April 17, 2017https://www.google.com/photos/scan/
7. Search Scanned Photos
Google recently released a new free app called PhotoScan with the aim of letting you digitize all your old photos. If you’ve installed the app, you can access it by clicking the three lines at the top left of Google Photos, then clicking “Scan photos”. Going forward, simply search for scans whenever you want to see all the photos you digitized.

TECHNOLOGY: Small developers get “Sherlocked”; that’s one word for it.
Sunday, March 19, 2017https://www.howtogeek.com/297651/what-does-it-mean-when-a-company-sherlocks-an-app/
What Does It Mean When Apple “Sherlocks” an App?
*** begin quote ***
Perhaps you’ve read that F.lux, which reduces eye strain and helps you sleep, is being “Sherlocked” later this month. What does that mean? In short, “Sherlocked” means that macOS will soon offer features that make installing the popular third-party tool F.lux unnecessary. When macOS 10.11.4—the latest update for Sierra—comes out, the “Displays” panel in System Preferences will offer the Night Shift feature that debuted on iPhones last year. For lifelong Apple fans, this term barely needs explanation, but recent converts might feel confused. So, let’s take a look at where the term “Sherlocked” comes from.
*** and ***
In a blog post, Wood said Steve Jobs told him Apple can and will do this to developers on the platform. Here’s Wood paraphrasing a phone call from Jobs himself:
“You know those handcars, the little machines that people stand on and pump to move along on the train tracks? That’s Karelia. Apple is the steam train that owns the tracks.”
*** end quote ***
Well, it’s better to be quick and nimble than slow and stiff.
That’s Apple “slow and swift”. Independent developers aren’t the only one getting <synonym for the past tense of the procreation act.> by Apple. Look at their planned obsolesce strategy and no thought of the Customer when pulling products. (I was particularly “frosted” when they pulled iWeb!)
So be warned and don’t trust anyone (i.e., MicroSloth; RottenApple; even Google) long term.

Another example of why you should not trust any ISP with your email address.
May I suggest that you have your own domain? The common wisdom, or is that common whizdumb, is to own your own name as a domain name. I own “reinke.cc”. (I like saying “sea sea me at reinke.cc”! me@reinke.cc will actually work!) I gives one quite a bit of control. And, it’s very cheap. I know three solutions at 15$/year using wordpressdotcom with gmail, 25$/year email only with 1and1, and 60$/year for domain+email+webspace also at 1and1. My point is not that you should use 1and1. http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=9113251 I could care less which one you use. It’s that getting on to your own domain with email is cheap and easy. And, it’s not hotmail, yahoo, or gmail. It IS your own “personal brand”.

TECHNOLOGY: Testing WordPress for Google Docs
Friday, March 10, 20172017-Mar-08
Now this is a most interesting “feature”.
If it works, then it could make blogging even easier and more “fun”.
We’ll have to test and see.
It claims to carry over everything.
INLINE_DRAWING: InlineDrawing
Well, the inline drawing didn’t come over.
Nor the change in font size. Needs some more “testing” but I like it.

SOFTWARE: Google’s PhotoScan app RECOMMENDED
Wednesday, December 28, 2016https://www.google.com/photos/scan/
“Get the photo scanner from the future”
# – # – # – # – #
OK, I’m a sucker for apps, phones, and all technology gadgets and tchotchkes (NB: I’ve been criticized all to often for using big and or strange words so now I am linking to their meaning. OK?) (NB: A “gadget” becomes a “tchotchke” when it: (a) doesn’t work as advertised; (b) breaks; (c) gets purplanted by a better gadget; or (d) I lose a part of it — usually the power supply. I have an old digital video camera waiting for me to find the power cord to it.)
I read about the app somewhere — I’d have thought Google would let me know about it … … personally — and downloaded it BECAUSE I have a ton of old framed pictures that I was considering HOW to digitize. It’d be a lot work to take them out of the frame — if they’d survive that — scan them and put them back.
So this holiday, I tried it on two framed pictures.
Judge for yourself the results.
and
Very impressive, no?
Anyway, I’m impressed.

RANT: Kvetch from long ago and far away
Friday, December 23, 2016Sorry to say, I haven’t written this. It was of interest to me at the disinterest in my power problems by employees of the various companies to who I turned to for help. (I was paying and not asking for charity.) Special excoriation for Dell, Sams Club, WalMark, OfficeDepot, Staples, the two 24 hour laptop repair firms in Vegas, and the pawn shop (it advertised computers, but had none). The only bright spot was Brookstones. Their EWR employee sold me something he thought would work (it didn’t) but correctly told me of their return policy. Their LAS employee accepted the return with no problem and showed me what I should have been sold. She made an interesting observation that the if the EWR site didn’t have the CORRECT one, he could have checked with the LAS site and they would have had it for me when I arrived. I intended to compliment them on that idea. The young women in Vegas is a gem. Sigh, now I have to try to make the midnight deadline for Jasper Jottings.

I found this on my old phone. I don’t know when I wrote it, but I thought it was worth sharing.
