Customising text in Acrobat
The Touchup Text tool in Acrobat is useful for correcting a typo, but if you want to replace a block, it’s better to use the Tools > Comment and Markup > Text Box tool.

Update 231030: A new update adding “∞” I live in France but communicate mainly in English. However, I do need to write in French on a regular basis and so to get the accents French requires like ç, è, û and à, along with non-French characters like ß, °,©, ®, ñ, ¿ and ¡ alongContinue reading “Editing your keyboard, Windows (10)”
Ace in the Pi-hole
I’ve had a Raspberry Pi sitting on the shelf since the Pi Zero W came out. It was only a tenner and I thought it would come in useful at some point… Using it on the TV with Scratch was short-lived and it’s not pokey enough to be a Plex server so on the shelfContinue reading “Ace in the Pi-hole”

Skype goodies
Just a quick post (I still need to do reviews of the Harmony 700 universal remote, Picross 3D and the Philips BDP-3100 Blu-Ray player).
