Working Wednesday...
Jun. 29th, 2011 04:49 pmIn prize-winning piece of back-asswardness, after completing the work, I finally got MaxiVista to work between my PC and the iPad. The app basically turns the iPad into a "second screen" by creating a network connection between the two devices, but I was not able to get the software to work correctly while we were in the apartment in Paris, and it was only after I was spinning down my work engine that I thought to give it a try here.
There is a stamp store in Cavaillon. I stopped by last week, only to find out the proprietor will be in Avignon today and tomorrow at an auction. I had wanted to go today and take a look, but between work and being lazy, I figure I can still go tomorrow morning to examine the lots and—who knows?—maybe sign up to be a bidder. (As I wrote that, little alarm bells went off in the back of my head, wondering about terms of sale, auctioneer's fees, and all that, in the context of "How does all that work here?") Still, it should be interesting, if I do go.
The SFR support on my iPad appears to have evaporated. I suspect that, somehow, I managed to run through the 100 MB I had bought, which—if that's the case—is pretty surprising, as "ordinary" use of AT&T service for a month only resulted in a transfer of 25 MB or so over the cellular network.
Cheers...
