Today I discovered Firefox Synch and enabled it for both the Dell G5 and the MacBook Pro.
This will make updating bookmarks and passwords a lot easier!

macOS Big Sur was updated today:
Camtasia 2021 was installed on both the Dell G5 and the Macbook Pro.
I was working on another martial arts page having to do with chishi (not yet completed) and decided to start migrating non-work-related bibliography items to the PC.
This meant installing Zotero and the Firefox connector, and GIMP so I can process images for this website.
I installed a copy of the Microsoft Office version 18.2008.12711.0 through the Wilfrid Laurier University connect site.
Downloaded and installed the most recent DLC Builder (2021-04-24) for Rocksmith.1)Note that this software is still in early phases, so updates are fairly frequent.
This tool requires that WWise also be installed and run at least once, which, in turn, requested the installation of the Microsoft .NET framework (the appropriate link being provided at that time).
A how-to discussion regarding DLC Builder was hosted by Alfonso De La Guardia with presenter Cédric Schneider on Saturday, 25 April 2021 through Google Meet. A link to myrecording of the session will be made available soon.

Yesterday I had my university password reset. It had been a while, and my Mac informed me that there had been a data leak. Better be safe than sorry, right?
Well, the reset protocol didn’t work, and it was a major ordeal to get help with that on a Sunday, but it got done in the end. I now ‘enjoy’ a macOS-generated high security password.
I discovered this morning that for whatever reason, it hadn’t propagated to my iPhone, despite the iCloud synchronization being turned on. No idea why. So when Outlook asked me to do an Office365 sign-in, I dutifully obliged.
But … the old password did not work. The new password did not work. The iCloud password did not work. My computer’s administrator password did not work ….
Then I had an idea. When attempting to enter the password on the iPhone, of course the input turned to bullets; expected, but there was no ‘show’ option to see that I’d got it right, though it looked right as I typed it. So finally, I typed it into the body of an email, verified it against the Keychain password on my Mac, and copied and pasted it in. Presto!
Apparently the iPhone was either capitalizing or performing some other idiotic ‘correction’ which I could not see!
This morning I updated macOS to Big Sur. My initial impression is that the default wallpaper would be nice if I were on LSD and/or enjoyed the art of Peter Max, neither of which applies.
I also updated GarageBand (not that I use it, really) and Safari.
