Yeah, I know, it’s a long time between drinks hey! I’ve uploaded Version 5 of my screen designs for OziExplorer for Android. The major change is the addition of a toggle button for Night Vision (red screen). This has been available in the PC version of OziExplorer forever, and in the default screen designs that are installed with Ozi for Android, but hasn’t been available for third parties like me to build into our own screen designs until just now (thanks Des!).…

I’ve been looking for the user manual for my trusty old McCulloch 2214AV chainsaw for a while to get some specs. I need to get a spare chain – the current one is missing a couple of cutters & getting pretty worn – and I want to give it the once-over. Couldn’t find the original manual so I went searching on the internet.…

My screen design for OziExplorer for Android has been updated to version 4. The original design was configured for 1200×800 resolution screens which was a bit weird; version 2 uploaded 7 June 2020 was designed for 1280×800 screens (eg Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0).

Sadly, the genealogy pages on davoweb.net have been languishing without updates for several years, not least because the media links were in a mess and some add-ons I was using were broken after updates to WordPress or PHP, the computer language that drives this (and many other) websites. Over the last couple of months I bit the bullet and updated TNG, the excellent software package that davoweb.net…

Lightroom 6 has been announced, and (finally!) it does facial recognition and tagging! Hooray! It does mean a lot of work I’ve done in migrating face data from Picasa to Lightroom might now be redundant… although if I have to re-tag thousands of photos I’ll still be writing a utility to migrate the data for me.…

OK, I’m sick and damn tired of deleting rogue user account requests on this site. Why do you scumbags even bother? To all you real people out there, I sincerely do apologise, but I’m not prepared to put up with up to 6 or more phantom user account requests (every single one of them from a xxx.web.de…
