As we approach the most tiddlery of times I wondered what would be filling your tiddlerstocking hanging over your nice regex fire? Don't forget to leave out some nice scotch for Jeremy.

I am hoping to have the multi-user wiki plugin set up so that it can server multiple wikis. Right now it is stable enough that I am using it on my wikis so that may be my christmas present.

A present to us all,

I think I may package some of my solutions and give a gift to the tiddlywiki community too.

I'm looking forward to the Christmas movies... including ... 

   Tiddler On The Roof

   Batman v. The Tiddler

   Wicki und die starken Männer


... And many, many more.

Ho, ho, hoooo ...

I delivered my christmas present today. It is something you can play with: A collection of bricks for twizzards and twiches who have everything else.

Let me share an unsolicited Christmas gift I received yesterday, Some of you my be very surprised.

I am not so sure who gave it to me, was in HP or Microsoft on my Windows 10 laptop?

I needed to upgrade my laptop a few months ago, I was inclined to get a touch screen model, but balked at the price, and most of the time I use it as a desktop replacement with two additional large screens.

I took the cheaper option without the touch screen but 16GB RAM, 256 SSD, I have being very happy with this laptop. Of note is if you spend more you can get a HDD/SSD combination model. However I discovered in the cheaper model I got there is a HDD slot I can move a 1TB SSD I have into, in time that is my only upgrade option remaining. 

Yesterday I had some urgent work and was delayed 40 minutes with various windows updates, which was seriously annoying.

Once all the updates completed I received my unexpected Christmas Gift, it was unwrapped, but I only discovered it accidentally.

I got a touch screen on my existing laptop.

No, I am not joking, I reviewed the computer specifications to check, this laptop did not come with a touch screen. But there it is, it is now a touch screen.

For the nostalgic amongst you, it is like an update reactivated the co-processor in my cheaper CPU. In the days where intel nobbled the co-processor unless you payed more.

Regards

:D this is interesting!

how can one imagine this miraculous metamorphosis?

the day before touching your screen did nothing and after this pre-christmas-wonder you have touch?

[TonyM]

Yup,

I would not believe it but for precidents elsewhere. EMC the storage manufacturer once delivered twice the storage we ordered and paid for but only gave us access to what we paid for. They called it preprovising, because they new we would eventually pay and the second order would be delivered with a software update. I expect it could be a substandard screen, or they may have decided it was easier to manage one screen standard.

I am still not sure I am not going mad.
