Nina Vaswani @weeneens.bsky.social · 08/05/2025One of (my) life's biggest disappointments is the inability to work in the garden when it's sunny. There's power and WiFi but I've never found a satisfactory resolution to the screen issue (and yes I've tried an umbrella, cardboard box etc). Good problem to have I guess ☀️! 040

Nina Vaswani @weeneens.bsky.social · 11/04/2025Plans for a solid morning concentrating on writing have been scuppered by a very large wasp in my workspace. In April? Why are there wasps in April? A bee would be fine, but a wasp might call for drastic action. Send help! 020

Nina Vaswani @weeneens.bsky.social · 20/12/2024Hi @dedoose.bsky.social or anyone here that uses #Dedoose When coding media I have this view on my screen. I have a lot of codes and it would be good to see more of them on screen. Is there a way to expand the code box on bottom right at all? Sorry for the basic question but I'm new to Dedoose! 120
