Not a lot of people know this (well, I didn't)
« on: November 06, 2019, 09:58:36 AM »

Hi,

I found this out by myself, and wondered if there are others who didn't know. Short cut to wherever ...

Key 36iWYD IMAGES into the browser (?) bar at the top of your screen, and see pics of Barbara's old shopping trolley enjoying a happy retirement. It saves all that hastle of going via Google.

The problem is that I took some of those pictures ... what happened to "copywrite"? But I ain't complaining.

if I remember correctly, try "CLW100H IMAGES"  ... I haven't looked myself yet ... with luck there will be pics of Barbara's TVR Vixen taken during the Edmunds Rally of the Vales. Competitors were requested to dress according to the age of their car. Madam wore a floral dress, representing Flower Power ... and I dressed up as Mr Homepride. (Flour Power) She did the driving ... I think she came somewhere between 60th and 70th, with a lot of drivers behind her. Thr rally consisted of driving sedately to various places in South Wales, then playing silly b*****s round the straw bales and traffic cones.

I believe a Series was entered some years later. Anybody here?

Hi Martin,

Yep, that's Barbara in a previous existance. Let me see, married in 1965, so that's .. er .. 54 years ... and I still wake up screaming.

"The Aunt" was XUC173, her Reliant Sabre was 361WYD, and my last S1 was FEU254. I assume the photos have to be titled with a retrievable identity.

But the point I was trying to make was that I seldom log onto Google these days, at least, not directly. I just key my question/subject into the browser bar at the top of the screen.

Doesn't work for me, must be a UK thang! I tried my plate number and it wanted to show me 3D images of random stuff.
Not too much off topic, on my keyboard above the number 4 I have the $, do you have a ­£ sign? I have to do Alt-163 to make it.

We have the same $ above the number 4. We also have a £ above number 3.

As we have discovered US and UK keyboard layouts are different.

I recently bought a (new) Dell Laptop for next to nothing - it had a US keyboard.
Whilst I can manage, it was a pain as my other 6 computers have UK keyboard layouts.
So I replaced the US keyboard for a UK layout.

The differences are in the 2 - 3 - 4 keys on the top row and the 3 keys immediately to the left if the "return" or "enter" key.

... as seen here:-



Different makers will have slightly different variations on this.




PS
Anyone who wants a Dell US keyboard and palm rest I have new - going cheap!

Not a great deal of difference, but enough to make it matter.




PS, I don't need a US Keyboard.

Hi,

Apparently it is amusing to wait until a one-finger typist is out the room ... and swap the keys around.

I noticed two types of Data Input clerks at DVLA. Type One would almost caress the keys, hands just floating above theb keyboard.

The others used the KARATE method.

The girls were expected to maintain 13,000 keystrokes per hour, actually keying for 5 hours per day Try converting that to keystrokes per second. They were allowed one mistake per 1000ks. One girl maintained 36,000ks/h ... with zero errors.
