Windows tip – sleep mode
SLEEP MODE: in all versions of Windows has been unreliable for me. Avoid it.
How?
- Open Control Panel
- Open Display Properties
- Click on Screen Saver and then Power Save
- Change the Sleep mode to Never (on laptops do it in both columns)
- Click Save or OK until you get back to the Windows Desktop
Leave a comment if there is insufficient information in the instructions.
On to SF
Time continues to hurry by. At this rate it will all soon be over.
Today, I have, potentially, two appointments in San Francisco. The first is dependent on a phone call. The second is fixed.
San Francisco has lost all attraction for me. I used to go there on a daily basis, almost. Now I do not look forward to visiting. I wonder what has changed? Is it me or is it the city?

About an hour later
Spent a little time sprucing up the design. Chose an excellent layout from the themes tab in design. Changed the banner image for a picture taken in Yosemite Valley in 2007.
It seems quite straightforward to use. The options seem to be limited – or they may be limited to free blog owners. I found a three column design I like but there is no indication that I can upload it and use it to replace my existing theme. I have much more exploration to do before I will know the extent of customization available.
Help files here I come – but not until I’ve slept. Goodnight.

Hello, everyone. By everyone, I mean me. I no longer know very many people. Life has been rather overwhelming in the last few years and I have spent most of my time at home. That has led to neglecting the few good friends I had. Since I feel overwhelmed there hasn’t been much energy for dealing with “borderline” friends. That meant they got left behind.
This is an exercise in how blogs work and what they can be made to do. First post is always the best.
