At home, watching some double-glazing being fitted to my house. I thought I’d scan some old papers into PDF’s with my portable Fujitsu Scansnap S300. In the process I managed to break off some small but crucial bit. Oh well. It has served me well. So I ordered another — turns out to be an S1300, at nearly double the price. The original S300 was a good buy, it seems. In the meantime those papers can sit there.
I’ve had several emails. One chap wrote asking if I would translate for him a 10 page Syriac letter from the French translation to English. I suggested he create an electronic version and try Google translate. I then found a PDF of it and scanned it myself and emailed him a .doc. No reply to any of the last three emails, including that.
Back to watching workmen engaged in working slowly…
