Bookmaking books!!

Okay, so, I did promise to put books from the university libraries up here for anyone who is interested and I am actually able to go on my computer for five minutes today as I'm at home looking after a child with suspected mumps! She is in quarantine at my house until Wednesday and Public Health are sending a swab kit round to confirm if mass hysteria at her school will outbreak or not.
Anyway, the books;

Preparing for the micro lesson has forced me to learn how to to take a snippet screen shot on a mac...

CMD + SHIFT + 4 then outline with your mouse and hey presto you have it saved to your desktop. Just make sure you rename it or you will be confused by all of the screenshot titled icons/pictures floating before you on your desktop!

Explain Everything

Here is an attempt at making an Explain Everything about silicon mould making. It is very basic but I can see the potential for this app. The one below was created very quickly in uni but if I had this at home with access to all of my photos, etc I could make something much better.
