When "new and improved" software is so much more convoluted than the older version. In this case, I'm working with a document storage system and want to get all published documents in folder 1234.

In version 7:

docs = Content.GetById(1234).Children;

In version 8:

if (Content.HasChildren(1234))
{
docs = Content.GetPagedChildren(1234, 0, Content.CountChildren(1234), out _).Where(x => x.Published);
}

The fact that every type of less-unhealthy toast that doesn't look or taste like it's made with birdseed has gone: Tip Top The One, Top Top High Fibre... well OK there weren't that many to begin with, but you either get recycled-cardboard toast or birdseed toast with nothing in between.

Replaced the noisy fan in my PC with a much better quality Noctua. It's so quiet that the previously "quiet" fan can now be heard. I should have just bought two of the new fans and saved myself the delusion that I wouldn't end up upgrading the other one anyway.

Vogel's Original Mixed Grain toast all the way. Lightly toasted, just the best.!!!!!

That looks suspiciously birdseedy... it's also relatively low fibre for what it is, the Tip Top ones are 7.3 or 7.1g/100g fibre, this is 4.5g/100g while even the recycled cardboard brands are 2.5-3g/100g.

I release it's being a bit nitpicky but it's annoying that some of the least unhealthy breads seem to have gone while the only-good-for-breadcrumb-ingredients ones stick around.

Tried Crumpet Toast? I need to get some more of that... but then I'll eat half the bag in one sitting.

Somehow I think crumpet toast is going in the opposite direction to the one I was aiming for...

I misread "less-unhealthy" :)

Why not pick plain wholemeal? I realise the better choices like organic and stoneground are largely unavailable here, but plain wholemeal is.

It's actually got less fibre than the high-fibre ones I mentioned have. I'll try the Vogels that someone suggested and see how it goes...

I really like the Vogel's, but you need to be sure not to toast it for too long. It's quite a dense bread compared to most so it takes longer than many breads to toast, but only toast it till it's slightly toasted. My gauge is when you hear the toast start to make a spitting noise it's done. Once you have done it once or twice you'll get to know where to set the toaster. Some toasters may require two goes as the timer won't be long enough the first time.

Microwave Vogel’s briefly before putting it in the toaster. Saves a long wait.

Two news articles you want to read. You go and read one, click back to read the other one and its just disappeared.

Might just possibly have mentioned this before...

Open in new tab I find best to prevent this - then I just meander through the tabs once I've opened everything that catches my eye.

Very true. But you have to be organised enough to do that. Or at least remember to do ctrl-click or whatever it is...
