In 2013, AGE Computer Consultancy (AGECOM) took over the sales and support of NotesTracker, up until 2021 when they ceased operations. Since NotesTracker offers unique value to the HCL Notes/Domino application development community, APCS has decided to resume sales and support of NotesTracker in order to fill this gap in application design tools. Progress will be careful, and steady in order to maintain our extremely high design, coding and usability standards. We are working towards making the NotesTracker's unique capabilities available again to the HCL Notes/Domino community. Watch this blog for news about NotesTracker version 7.

The animated GIF below shows how you carry out the relative positioning under Windows 10 (Windows 11 is similar, earlier versions of Windows looked slightly different). These days I use larger 1920x1200 (WUXGA) monitors, with the rightmost monitor in portrait mode (better for long lists and tall documents): <img src="https://asiapac.com.au/images/misc/Windows-rearrange-multiple-displays.gif" /> You use the &quot;Identify&quot; button to show the device number that Windows has given to each monitor. People seem to encounter trouble with using the mouse to drag-and-drop the rectangles during this relative positioning of displays, I can tell you that I did myself early on when I started using multiple monitors It can be a little tricky to get the relative positions to &quot;sticK&quot; (<a title="Oroblem when trying to rearrange multiple displays in Windows" href="https://www.bing.com/search?form=ISCHR1&amp;PC=IS45&amp;PTAG=SYS1000000&amp;q=problem+rearranging+displays+in+Windows" target="_blank">a web search like this</a> reveals the annoyance that it has caused some people). The key action, as demonstrated above, is to drag each rectangle right across the border of the adjoining rectangle and release the mouse button. After that the rectangle that was being dragged springs back and leaves a small visual gap between the two rectangles. It seems that his gap causes people to keep trying to get the two rectangles to touch each other, but you just have to get used to the fact that this is not how it works. The procedure often fails of you merely drag each rectangle near bit not right across the border of the adjacent rectangle. I hope the above tip resolves this annoying issue for you.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Purchase a copy of NotesTracker

There are some wonderful TV series and movies on Prime TV, Kindle Unlimited is an excellent source of e-books, and Amazon customer service is pretty good (for example, easy returns of unsatisfactory/faulty goods), all which lead me to remain a happy customer. When choosing and ordering items, there are a few things to consider, which I've tried to demonstrate via three screenshots, which are for my account on Amazon Prime AU (Australia), but should be applicable to other Amazon country websites. (1) Amazon Prime membership should offer you fast delivery <a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1z7RS3O8aoj6sZZiQORRB5R84CBZsb1JV"><img title="image" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" border="0" alt="image" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1_pXRFLnR1AigoWeHqGVLs1eXFydQMlSq" width="610" height="484" /></a> &#160; ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2) Seek out the best purchase/delivery options &#160; <a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1F3Q1QG4SjgO3hNBPwcELgKvs8vhe4D_t"><img title="image" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" border="0" alt="image" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1itC6eO6q7RVId-gxU41mUUrfbns-zihf" width="608" height="484" /></a> &#160; ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (3) Choose items carefully DO YOUR RESEARCH … Amazon items can usually be found at great prices, but not always the best. Be sure to compare with other online sources, such as eBay. Exactly the same item from different Amazon AU web pages (that is, different sellers) will usually be priced differently. Once you've decided on a particular item, be sure to search for the identical item on different Amazon web pages. Sometimes it's a matter of only a few cents or a few dollars. but occasionally the price difference can be huge, below being one glaring example: &#160; <a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1TuEsjf4di_7ndysNSFEx-_yjx17YpEvM"><img title="image" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" border="0" alt="image" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1lk1bP1jR8GCssjL5rPzu0-Q_GcrHauls" width="711" height="772" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer">Purchase a copy of NotesTracker

Today I'd like to emphasize how easy Allavsoft is to use. STEP A: Once you launch this downloader, you simply go to the Web page for a particular video and copy that page's URL (or copy the link of a video from within that page) to the system's clipboard. A second or two later the link should appear automatically (or else, just click the &quot;Paste URL&quot; button): <a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=12SxJQ-pel4rqzfj_AYUZabvH0KQg8s6r"><img title="image" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" border="0" alt="image" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1gvV_N3mmgZzRgmDrk1VOsSoB-_PwaHmz" width="640" height="484" /></a> Then click the big blue button (with a white arrow) in the bottom right corner of the window. STEP B: If multiple videos are found on the Web page, you are given the option to download just the first video or all of the videos on that page: <a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1lljxhpwVQpf7Zo8VQVxcLea4GRnCJ4AV"><img title="image" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" border="0" alt="image" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1hfLtSWvNtaJODLj6-F7jVkxWaq11I1sZ" width="644" height="309" /></a> This is especially convenient for downloading complete seasons of TV episodes. STEP C: The videos are downloaded, and you can easily monitor the download status of each video: <a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1VFGg3PWoBalvdvN8CGQrIXTArKSOnYkD"><img title="image" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" border="0" alt="image" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1Y06qFY3UwlihRNc_IPFBbKSOTKb4x7DY" width="509" height="484" /></a> You can play a video, as shown in screenshot (D), either by right-clicking it and selecting &quot;Play Downloaded File…&quot; or by right-clicking and choosing &quot;Locate Downloaded File…&quot; to go to the download folder on your system and then playing it with some other player such as VLC media player: <a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1x8MIzX2FYUJZv8M0RHcLf04p6e1CjyZ-"><img title="image" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" border="0" alt="image" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1jp7tbvfTKrUVFLfFDNRildY7x_VX0wT3" width="530" height="484" /></a> It couldn't be easier. <a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1sKepP1Drbylg4W3wscvE194FRXbOHCna"><img title="image" style="margin: 5px 0px 5px 5px; float: right; display: inline; background-image: none;" border="0" alt="image" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1d1cHc2XU5r0Zo1C4yfnbb-xOYPo3_E8n" width="129" align="right" height="214" /></a> ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Allavsoft doesn't just download each video as single file, in a long-running single download stream, but does it in a smart and efficient fashion by the parallel downloading of small chunks (segments), followed by a short burst of activity at the end of the download to recombine those chunks into a single video file. The screenshot on the right of the CPU Usage gadget (in Windows) with all 16 threads on my AMD Ryzen 7 processor close to being maxed out for a couple of seconds while this merging of chunks occurs. You can use Option &gt; Preference… as shown in screenshot (1) to do things like altering the download directory, and to tinker with things like the number of concurrent downloads, as shown by screenshot (2): <a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1q9OrQppYGN2rjiloglYzVc3pZswDlVUr"><img title="image" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" border="0" alt="image" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1myjnhAT8rK3QhDN7OA54Z7rmX5fI6E7d" width="244" height="135" /></a> A useful tip is that you can hold down the Ctrl key (or the Mac equivalent) to enable access to some additional/expanded settings. For example, normally you cannot choose more that 7 video files being simultaneously down loaded: <a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1YN0p8DHZCSKMYWhKTGonJfX3_r25FTgD"><img title="image" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" border="0" alt="image" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1ulMiM4DtwK7-VnJ0snL-xNjgSDaaXV_C" width="366" height="105" /></a> However, the hidden/extended preferences allow you to choose up to 30 concurrent downloads (screenshot 3): <a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1ZqYtgc47_tth4g9tKLOMASoI4KI97b83"><img title="SNAGHTML27a13dd2" style="display: inline; background-image: none;" border="0" alt="SNAGHTML27a13dd2" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1z-EuePWOPz3sEyBZT32UPJ_QXamXNANR" width="364" height="172" /></a> My empirical testing indicates that you would have to have an extremely powerful system to even consider going beyond about 10 concurrent downloads, otherwise your system will surely grind to a halt. Most users will not need to do any such tinkering. ALLAVSOFT CUSTOMER SUPPORT: I started in the IT industry when I joined IBM Australia in 1970, and have decades of experience in dealing with software developers/vendors and the degree to which they support (or fail to support) their customers. I can assure you that, as a paying customer, I have been quite impressed with the responsiveness and thoroughness of Allavsoft's customer support team. They have always replied quickly to any matters that I have raised, often with a few hours, which is a rare thing in the software industry. In my case they have fixed issues quickly, usually within a day or two (even the same day, in some cases), so you can be sure that they will look after you. Often this may not be any sort of problem with the Allavsoft program itself, but the websites holding videos sometimes change the way that their videos are presented (say, when a video hosting website undergoes a sweeping design change), and Allavsoft have always been able to decipher the website changes and adjust the downloader to handle the changes.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Purchase a copy of NotesTracker

My attempt to influence this poor design were unsuccessful, so for the last couple of years titles have been displayed as non-transparent areas with a solid white background superimposed on the image that appears at the top of each article, like this one: <a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1PRkRpB0cGR7tQBC24XW3hupEvJG31pOo"><img title="image" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" border="0" alt="image" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1pMMUE_JZQ8Aq8l9gGQ7MCpkirrPsbyMG" width="644" height="373" /></a> Just like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed_captioning" target="_blank">Closed captioning (CC)</a> on free-to-air television the solid background is very ugly, and it hides sections of the underlying image (which can block out major parts of TV broadcasts such as charts and weather maps). In my opinion, the captions should (perhaps selectively) be presented with transparent backgrounds, like the subtitling used by Netflix and Amazon Prime TV. (You may have to use configuration options to change from solid to transparent background.) It is bizarre that on the home page of The Conversation titles utilise transparent text, such as: <a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1Dkzt8w9p_XMXmwI6ZLcBdxejLaGhesxx"><img title="image" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" border="0" alt="image" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=116kg_AUIe28KkZ0HGKR_pmSMDIx5JEJ6" width="644" height="455" /></a> Obviously they could use transparent title text everywhere, not just on the home page, and I remain puzzled why they don't. I notice that both the&#160; &quot;Africa&quot; and the &quot;Global Perspectives&quot; editions of The Conversation use the original layout, for example: <a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1NyvnuWCY60LLxiEkI91Ji_DiX6yiYWLC"><img title="image" style="margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" border="0" alt="image" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1xDfnNfRgu3RhSGvrQgG_F_1UFxxjcvf4" width="512" height="484" /></a> &#160; This is a weird inconsistency. I promised myself that when once I became an octogenarian (which happened in early July this year) I would try to stress out and stop being annoyed by such things, and try to live a calmer life. But it seems that I can't. Every time that I read an article in The Conversation I still have the same reaction. C'est la vie!<div class="blogger-post-footer">Purchase a copy of NotesTracker

Do a search <a href="https://www.bing.com/search?q=MouseMonitorEscapeSpeed" target="_blank">such as this one</a> to see some of the history. There are solutions involving editing Windows registry settings (or using an app called NSM – Non Sticky Mouse to do the editing for you). I tried these suggestions, to no avail, and the mouse pointer still kept sticking at the edge of the monitor. I had almost given up when, fortunately, I saw a comment by one person recommending that you go to Display Settings and jiggle the rectangles representing the monitors as close together as possible: <a href="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1qaAD8_1LMlPsobk0WYBJ2nfJplT9CYvM"><img title="image" style="border: 0px currentcolor; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; float: none; display: block; background-image: none;" border="0" alt="image" src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1Vu-xs1oqc-VYyEIyBaWjLBclC3wHjGsl" width="575" height="366" /></a> There may still seem to be a gap between monitors, but the action of moving the edges of the rectangles so that they slightly overlap seems to have the desired effect. A reminder that you may have to log off and sign in again (or restart Windows) before&#160; this remedy takes effect. As mentioned, this seems to work -- but we all know that Windows can be rather quirky (and Microsoft keeps tinkering with these things, so a fix like this may stop working at some pint in time). Only time will tell.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Purchase a copy of NotesTracker

I have a feeling that, to some extent, we all will die &quot;alone&quot; -- even in the presence of other(s) -- but my choice certainly would be to have the other(s) present. I haven't yet been present at a human death, my only direct experience with death being with a lovely dog Clyde, who had been very ill, and finally took one last look into my eyes before suddenly expiring on my lap. Dogs are very expressive creatures, aren't they, and I think he realised that something drastically different was happening to him I wasn't present for my father's death, which might have been alone in a hospital cancer ward (his earlier smoking caught up with him), and I thank that my mother was alone when she died at a nursing home in Frankston. - - - - - - - - - - - - -&#160; For those without access to Australian newspapers&#160; - - - - - - - - - - <dl><dd><a href="https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/these-conversations-are-among-the-hardest-i-have-had-as-a-doctor-20200826-p55phh.html"> <h3></h3> </a> <h3><a href="https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/these-conversations-are-among-the-hardest-i-have-had-as-a-doctor-20200826-p55phh.html">These conversations are among the hardest I have had as a doctor</a></h3> </dd><dd>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; Dr. Julia Corfield (The Age - 26 August 2020)&#160; </dd><dd>&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160;&#160; <a href="https://subscribe.theage.com.au/" target="_blank">Become a subscriber to The Age</a></dd><dd>&#160;</dd><dd>It's a cold Saturday morning in Melbourne and I am a doctor at work in a palliative care unit. I have just reviewed one of my patients, whose body is beginning to reveal some of the tell-tale signs of dying.</dd><dd>His son stands over him and sadly remarks that “this is a bad time to die”.</dd><dd>&#160;</dd><dd>With strict visiting restrictions firmly in place across Melbourne, there is a very real chance that his father will die alone and he knows it. This is the new normal.</dd><dd>In a state of disaster, there are a set of rules and visiting restrictions for families and friends of those dying in a hospital setting. These restrictions vary slightly between health services, but the message is the same: as few visitors as possible, for as short a time period as is reasonable. </dd><dd>&#160;</dd><dd>For months now, hospital staff (myself included) have been chanting the mantra of seemingly arbitrary visiting windows, maximum numbers of visitors per patient and numbers of visitors permitted at the bedside.</dd><dd>In recent times, I have found myself asking questions such as “do all six of your siblings need to visit?” or “could your grandchildren say their goodbyes via FaceTime?”. These conversations are among the hardest I have had as a doctor.</dd><dd>&#160;</dd><dd>Many find these new rules unacceptable, and with good reason. Few people want to die alone, and even fewer want their loved one to be alone in the final weeks, days and hours of their life.</dd><dd>However, these are not normal times, and a balance must be struck between compassion and safety. Across the world, and now in Victoria, we know that many people with COVID-19 are dying alone; but so are those without COVID-19. Both are tragic realities.</dd><dd>&#160;</dd><dd>Under normal circumstances, achieving “a good death” is laden with obstacles, let alone in a pandemic. An inherent challenge is that a good death is an individualised experience, reflecting the diversity of the human person.</dd><dd>&#160;</dd><dd>There are some commonalities across what constitutes a good death, and the company of friends and family features almost universally.</dd><dd>&#160;</dd><dd>A current patient comes to mind a woman in her 70s dying of lung cancer who tells me almost daily that her breathing is bad but the feeling of loneliness even worse. She would like to see her grandchildren, but no children are allowed in the hospital.</dd><dd>&#160;</dd><dd>Her brother visits, but the allocated two-hour visiting window is not long enough to fill the void created when faced with one’s own mortality. And so on. Her story is not unique.</dd><dd>&#160;</dd><dd>Dying in a pandemic has brought with it new and more challenging obstacles, ones that make us question what it means to be human. Death is normal, but dying alone is not. So, frankly, when I hear my patients and their relatives say that it is a bad time to die, I can't help but agree.</dd><dd>&#160;</dd><dd>Ultimately, how we live and how we die tells us about society as a whole. Today, people die alone to protect society and this at least may be a small source of solace. Their strength and determination to push forward and adapt to this strange new world is a testament to the human spirit.</dd><dd>&#160;</dd><dd>I hope, though, that those dying in this COVID-19 world know that their sacrifice has not gone unnoticed. Every day, their struggles are seen and felt. Many have had to forgo the so-called good death, and that is the undeniable truth.</dd><dd>&#160;</dd><dd>Julia Corfield is a doctor working in palliative care in Melbourne.</dd></dl> - - - - - - - - - - - - As for me, I'd like to die with a pungent, witty observation on my lips!

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent virus threat and have therefore raised their threat level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” Soon, though, level may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.”&nbsp; The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out.
The virus has been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.” The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.
The Scots have raised their threat level from “Pissed Off” to “Let's Get the Bastard.” They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its alert level from “Run” to “Hide.” The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.” The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.
Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.” Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”
The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.” They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbour” and “Lose.”
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
Australia, meanwhile, has raised its alert level from “No worries” to “She'll be alright, Mate.” Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.” So far, no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.
The Russians issued their standard reply: “It’s not us."<div class="blogger-post-footer">Purchase a copy of NotesTracker

Several online dictionaries use the same definition: The 15th day of March, May, July, or October or the 13th day of the other months in the ancient Roman calendar. Curious about why it wasn’t the 15th of the month that was always used, I found a good discussion you can investigate under <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ides_of_March">Ides of March</a> <a title="A day in the Roman calendar that corresponds to 15 March" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ides_of_March">in Wikipedia</a><dl><dd>… a day in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_calendar">Roman calendar</a> that corresponds to 15 March. It was marked by several <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religion_in_ancient_Rome">religious observances</a> and was notable for the Romans as a deadline for settling debts. In 44 BC, it became notorious as the date of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_of_Julius_Caesar">assassination of Julius Caesar</a> which made the Ides of March a turning point in Roman history. <dd><img width="640" height="360" src="http://notestracker.net/images/misc/et-tu-brutus-01.jpg"></dd></dl>and
<dl><dd>The Romans did not number days of a month from the first to the last day. Instead, they counted back from three fixed points of the month: the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nones_(calendar)">Nones</a> (the 5th or 7th, nine days inclusive before the Ides), the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ides_(calendar)">Ides</a> (the 13th for most months, but the 15th in March, May, July, and October), and the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalends">Kalends</a> (1st of the following month). Originally the Ides were supposed to be determined by the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_moon">full moon</a>, reflecting the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_calendar">lunar origin of the Roman calendar</a>. In the earliest calendar, the Ides of March would have been the first full moon of the new year. </dd></dl> However there's the following alternative scenario: &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <img style="display: inline;" src="http://notestracker.net/images/misc/et-tu-brutus-02.jpg">

If you are worried about your vitamin D levels, it's best to speak to your doctor who can help ensure you are not deficient." </dd></dl> I'm not a pill-popper but intend to keep taking these vitamin D tablets until my GP tells me to stop, and even probably after that (one tablet per day, anyway).<div class="blogger-post-footer">Purchase a copy of NotesTracker

Some of the omissions have been major items, while others have been small things, irritations and inconveniences. Indeed there have been entire books, such as <a href="http://shop.oreilly.com/product/9780596157630.do" target="_blank">Windows 7 Annoyances</a>, devoted to listing Windows deficiencies and where possible providing solutions or workarounds. 
 
 
One such annoyance, for example, used to be in File Explorer, or Windows Explorer as it was called until fairly recently. When you opened large directories or directories on a low device, you often got the angst-laden message “This folder is empty” when in fact it was perfectly healthy and all the folder’s contents were intact. That message of doom would sit there for a few seconds while you wondered what had gone wrong and how you would get back all of the missing contents. 
 
 
Thankfully that message was improved recently, with the advent of Windows 10, was it? Thankfully the message now&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; says “Working on it” and I suspect this simple enhancement has averted many a heart attack. 
 
 
These days, under the product name Windows 10, we are getting minor u[dates/fixes all the time, with major updates or “builds” being released every year or so. The latest on is the “10 May 2019” update with the build number being 1903 (year plus month, it was originally expected to be released in March 2019). Last year’s u[date was build 1809 (nominally for September&nbsp; 2018). 
 
 
there’s no simple straightforward way to display the current build number. Users have no one-click, in-your-face option for knowing if their system is still on build 1809 or for confirming that it has been updated automatically to build 1903. 
 
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" data-original-height="636" data-original-width="872" height="464" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrpbIT7Pkv71zCB4K5ei_fggy60k9Wpy3WEIHMF93O6KrxPwrcllzVRN99zSP8SkBDrW46KoEj78NDvEz_9805IbaathOmcykyBXuhkzxZzMTdhtZgNvTC1nze1IYDeqw7cUKu/s640/build-number-on-windows10-properties-dialog.png" width="640" /> </div>
 
Therefore I’m asking Microsoft to make a simple enhancement to the System properties dialog to include the build number something like in the above screenshot. 
 
Easy to implement, Microsoft, so do it yesterday!
