April Fool's Day

Today proves that April Fool's Day doesn't discriminate that much. Tradition says we'll be challenged on the first day of April. This year, the second of April is it for me.

1. Woke up late.
2. Had bloody nose while brushing my teeth...eeew!
3. Blood test scheduled at the hospital.
4. Pickup truck got a flat.
5. It had rained, and it took over 20 minutes on my back on the wet cement to just get the spare free from under the back of the pickup.
6. The "Check Engine Soon" light is on so I've left the pickup for service and new tires. $$$
7. Started grilling steak for lunch and the gas ran out.
8. Went to use the family station wagon, and it wouldn't start.
9. Tomorrow should be better, right?

Pyroom 0.4.0

There is good news about Pyroom version 0.4. It lets me use the Alt-Tab key combination to switch between Pyroom and the other open programs I have running (and thereby, can get access to information which I may want to copy for pasting into my Pyroom document.

I honestly don't remember if I tried the keypress combination earlier, but if not, I am glad to have found the combination works. Pyroom, like any other word processor needs to make it easy for copy/paste operations. They are one of the core features that make a computer word processor the highly functional writing tool that it has become.

The screen remains mostly blank with its rectangular workspace and green text as the standard. I am, therefore, able to benefit from the reduction of distractions from notifications, for example.
