Frog Up or Down

As part of my move to Google Drive and all it entails, I have been wondering how I might get on with my brother Printer Scanner . The printing side is just not a problem, but and here is the usual BUT, I at present have no way of connecting my Chrome browser to the scanner, I have to use the Apple interface and scan in that way save and then use the imported pdf file. But there is a work around that seems to work. that is to use the scan button on the printer and set the destination to either mail or file. Here's how it works. for mail, I have my printer connected via   USB link, so the Brother printer can see mac mail and uses that to link up, I send that to Gmail  and all as before. Why it picks mac mail when I have it set up for Gmail is beyond me, yet this works so not a problem, although I managed to correct this simple by going into Mac mail and setting the default mail to Google Chrome. The other method, and the one I shall use in the future, is to save to fi...

Have you had chance to play with my.sketchup.com lately, I should if I were you, its suddenly becoming a very useful tool. I have left it alone for a month or two, and today I thought lets have a peep and see whats been added, well to my surprise, most of the major tools are there and working well.

The two main menu pallets are simple to use, but not movable, but they work well and as so small they fold away without taking up to much Realestate. As for up...

For so long, and I have written about it her and in other places, but my todo list have gone through so many different formats, and for a long time this been a series of paper lists that were rewritten as new item appeared and old items completed. It beat electronic versions, in as much as I just like the feel of pencil and they are always there, as I use my Moleskin to keep the lists with a sort of yellow sticky note -it as a label for the current page that had the latest list. I even went as far as copying the page to Evernote , my goto place for all storage for a while, well a long time,,,,,, that is till I found Google.Keep. And keep for so many reasons has transformed a lot of my note keeping and todo lists ot tasks or as Keep describes their version, a Reminder. So its so Keep that I moved, not so much as a complete goodby to Evernote, but more a trial, and I just clicked with the whole thing, ok so I am a big Google fan, and use Gmail and all it offers, Drive plus a ...
