I was about to say, where are the "open apple" and "closed apple" keys on the Apple II, but after doing a small amount research, the early models apparently didn't have those.

If anyone is looking for a game they can play with a buddy remotely, over text or voice chat, I'd like to suggest my play-by-paper version of the awesome game Codenames Duet:

I agree this is awesome, once the instructions are understood. My daughter and I read the instructions, watched a video about the original box game, I was ready to give up but then it all clicked for my daughter and this is one of our games now.

We've played about 4 so far, haven't won yet but we've gotten 14/15 at least one time and we learn something each time.

It seems to me that this would be useful for language learning too since it supports Unicode and you have game books of multiple languages and you can use custom word lists. Down the road I may give that a try as well.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Can FARR search Chrome bookmarks?
« on: April 25, 2020, 05:35 AM »
OK, I have a workaround but I'm embarrassed to say how much time I spent trying to get it to work.

There are 2 parts of it

1. Periodically i need to manually export Chrome bookmarks to a file from the Chrome bookmarks manager (Ctrl-Shift-O).

2. Configure the FarrFox plugin so that Search Firefox Bookmarks is checked and the path to the exported bookmark file is listed under Custom bookmark file locations (without quotes).

It still shows the Firefox icon though. Even if I extract the Chrome icon from Chrome, as soon as I rename the file to Firefox.ico to try and fool the plugin, the icon changes to a Firefox icon in Windows Explorer! Just from a rename! And FarrFox still shows the Firefox icon. But I'll live with it, this is close enough.

EDIT: Well, I just tried it again and it shows the Chrome icon now. Weird.

Never was a fan of the show but I thought this was cute.
