A fair bit of tech/maker stuff.
Apologies now following Women's Football as well. Kids!

Why can't schools put the announcement in the email.
You know email. A tool to provide messages.
No need to link to a site you have to log into.
No need to make the message a PDF so it has to be opened separately.

It's an email.
Have the message in the email.

I've moved from Google Drive to OneDrive for work and I don't like it.

Simple things.
OneDrive is slower to navigate and sync.

When I open a file and want to save a copy it saves it by default in the last folder I saved a file to not the folder the original file came from.

When exporting a PDF in Word it again defaults to the last place I saved a PDF, but even worse because of the sync speed, even if the PDF is created it won't open as it's not ready to be opened and silently fails.

#ZX81 Game development for Orphion Seven (or Zevious or ZXevious): Got the First Level finalised and 4 to 6 to go depending on space. Added some gun overheating, and a few bug fixes. The game seems to play really well after the bug fixes (I can't stop playing at least).

A feature I'd love in Outlook (for work).
When I add an Out of Office thing to my calendar that it prompts me there and then to add an Out of Office message that is setup for exactly when I'm out.

Would love to have multiple OOO queued up in Outlook that are triggered when the time off happens.

Unless I'm wrong you can only have one at the moment.

Scenario
Summer holidays booked for July, bank holiday on Monday and taking a day off in June.

I can't add OOO messages for all only for one.

Been doing some sim racing on Project Motor Racing. So much better after the recent update and if you’re on PC is free to play for the weekend.

If you use Sage be aware scammers are now using it saying they’re on the wrong version.
