my Polar V800 and where to …
Its watch strap has 21 holes. I usually wear it at the 12th hole.
Whenever I have to charge its battery via USB, I ask myself: at which hole will I wear if for now?

installing Microsoft Office for OS X from office.com
Double-clicking on the “.pkg” (1.6GB) resulted in a window that popped up saying this:
Verifying “Microsoft_Office_2016_15.35.17061000_Installer.pkg”…
This “never” ended in my case. And I waited for more than 30 minutes. And I tried more than once. Then I turned to “Microsoft Office Online”.

MediaWiki: how to extract the wiki text (only) from an article?
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1625162/get-text-content-from-mediawiki-page-via-api
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33844207/how-to-get-wikipedia-content-as-text-by-api
- https://www.mediawiki.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=query
The above articles (Stack Overflow) do not exactly answer my question, but they are rather close.
The key is using api.php and action=query.
Purpose: I want to compare articles of two rather close wikis, and the articles have a common ancestor.

dmoztools.net “is an independently created static mirror of dmoz.org”
- http://dmoztools.net
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMOZ – as of 2017-04-21 does not mention the life of the DMOZ.org content after the closedown on 2017-03-17
- https://www.resource-zone.com – “visit resource-zone to stay in touch with the community”
I have no idea, whether dmoztools.net is being maintained actively, but I (still) find DMOZ’s “hierarchical ontology scheme for organizing site listings” very useful. I am happy to use dmoztools.net from now on.
Update 2017-09-11: Maybe curlie.org is the site to go for, because it will be maintained, not just a static mirror.
