Left Handed Mouse

To train my left hand again, I’ve switched the mouse to left-handed. I think I’ll keep things simple though.

I’m lucky though in that I can work a left-handed mouse with my right hand. I used to use someone’s computer who was left-handed.

Keep Taking the Tablets

I sometimes worry that I might miss a tablet as there are quite a few of them.

So I’ve set up a daily alert in Outlook. At least I’ll be nagged.

Too Many Thank You E-Mails

I’m having to write lots of these and was getting fed up entering, “Thanks, etc.” all the time and then just clicking Send.

So, I created Signature in Outlook called Thanks.

Now I just click Reply, Insert, Signature, Thanks, perhaps add a few words and then click Send.

Learn how to use signatures to save time and hassle.

I’ve also created one called Evil Empire for unwanted e-mails from countries that still use the death penalty.

Addenbrookes TV/Phone System

I suppose beggars can’t be choosers, but it is not good.  Cost is obviously an issue I don’t bother about, but whoever designed the system should be reducated.  Wires get entwined with each other  and the screens are distinctly user-unfriendly.

But my biggest gripe is that it doesn’t have BBC Radio 5 Live.  I could at least get that through the Internet in Hong Kong. But there is no wi-fi on wards here.  There should be!

Another point is that the Hong Kong system does the medical records too. But knowing a bit about computing in the NHS, I’m not surprised they got that one wrong.

An automated/instrumented body

As I lie here I’m connected to a heart monitor, that reports by radio to the central support unit. But they also take my blood pressure, pulse rate and temperature every hour or so.

How long will it be before I could wear a body suit, that did everything automatically, even if I was at home in bed?

This could take a complete map of everythung the wearer did.

In addition to medical treatment, it could have implications in the treatment of mental health and drug addition. especially if it contained a two-way communication link, so they could be informed when to take their medication.

Finger Friendly Packaging

If we want to see how a company in a small country can create a very large high-tech niche for themselves, you need look no further than Logitech, who are based in Switzerland.  Their products aren’t very cuckoo clock.

As I’ve bought myself a new laptop for the journey, I felt it would be a good idea to get a new mouse.  I hate those pads on laptops which never seem to work for me!  So as I’ve got several of their products, I looked no further than Logitech.

The mouse works well and has a very small transmitter, so I can leave it in all the time.  And the mouse works on just one battery.  In fact I’m using it now.

But what surprised me was the packaging.

Logitech's Finger Friendly Packaging

Note the red arrow at the top.  It points to a perforated area in the packaging, which you tear along in the age old fashion and hey presto, you get access to the contents.

No broken nails, knives or scissors.

This type of packaging should be compulsory!

10/10 to Logitech.
