desperate last resort
 
If you are desperately bored, for instance if you’ve been locked
accidentally in a public toilet over the weekend by a deaf council
worker, and you’ve read almost the whole internet on your little phone
gadget, you might as a desperate last resort like to have a look at

http://www.wrightsaerials.tv/articles/index.shtml

where I have posted several new magazine articles.

Most useful Bill. Much more comprehendible that all the textbook on the
subject.

Fantastic! Thanks, Bill, much appreciated.

A little request?! Could you pdf every article for easy downloading -
some are links to html pages - and maybe do a zip file of the lot?

Took me ages to save them all off into my little folder that's called
Bill's musings......

This is something that needs to be done. In fact some of the earlier
ones need to be re-done completely, because the chap that did those
pages didn't really know what he was doing. The other problem is, a
lot of the earlier ones are badly out of date, and in truth should
probably be removed.

If only life could be extended sufficiently that all these things
could be done.

Thanks for that.

Ironically a young lady who is a large-budget decision maker at a
housing association complained in an email last week that my
explanation of the situation regarding a TV distribution system was
'incomprehensible to a normal person'. I asked an 80 year old female
and a 14 year old male to read it, and both seemed to understand it
perfectly.

Get this little utility: http://www.magicpdf.com/

Enables you to make a PDF of anything shown in a programme that has a Print
option.

Also useful for bank account transfer pages and online purchases.

It's good, but actually I find PrimoPDF to be even better if you just want
to "Print to PDF" (fewer glitches in the output, especially with diagrams,
and ESPECIALLY especially with gradient fills - albeit still not perfect).
It's free, of course.

Well, Bill, these articles (amongst other things, obviously) are your
contribution to society and your legacy to the world of broadcasting. They
are tremendously valuable and helpful.

So, I do hope that you will be sufficiently inspired and motivated to
de-prioritise some of the unimportant trivia in life (like interacting with
your grandchildren, going out with your wife, securing an income) and use
the time for the PDF-ing and updating!
