Busy,Busy!!

A couple of things have come up only today and yesterday. Today I booked tickets for Chinese New Year and Holi, the India Festival of Colours.

The Chinese New Year takes place on Sunday, 31st January and the Lion Dance is one of my favourite things to video and it will provide me with good footage for the Adobe Premiere editing course. The Festival of Colours takes place in April (they hadn't enough money to put it on last year).

The other thing which is not part of the degree is I was asked to give some talks on computers and the Internet to some Alzheimer's groups my mother and I go to because I was at one yesterday and was showing one older volunteer gentleman my tablet (Google Nexus 10) and the organisers noticed and were very impressed. So back at home I did a lot of research on the best way to hook up a computer to a TV or projector and I have decided to try a Miracast dongle for the back of the tv/projector and my tablet rather than the laptop because I like the way you type on the tablet screen and then it disappears. Also, Miracast is wireless. On the tablet I use an app called Swiftkey for typing - it learns your favourite words.

If people could pray for the happy repose of the son of a neighbour who died young.
