Saw The Crawlers yesterday and that was fun for its absurdity. In the beginning, they have a kid playing with a model of Aubrey II, which was cool. The final battle against the trees was pretty silly. One character uses an ax on a root only to leave it and everyone to get strangled. No one else picks it up. Take it with you! Seriously 😛

Will do!

And let’s not forget Surf Nazis Must Die! Sure, their films are pretty bad but that’s part of their charm! The thing is, they know they’re bad and run with it. They’re a lot of fun! 😀

Haven’t seen any of those yet. Murray can be good in semi-dramatic rolls, such as in Scrooged. Granted, he’s not in many though.

Looks like we lost…[Read more]

Ooh, you have a neon sign? Don’t have Blockbuster over here so a sign like this might look out of place. 😛

The following would be a worthy addition to a shopfront – or even a residence, even if it adds a little to light pollution.

Put White Heat on the list, it’s a classic!

Saw Poultrygeist some years ago, memories of fun but copious amounts of eggsplosive diarrhea were insufficient to warrant a second viewing. Love the Troma titles:

• Poultry in Motion: Truth Is Stranger Than Chicken
• Vegas in Space
• A Nymphoid Barbarian in Dinosaur Hell
• Dolphinman Battles the Sex…

Yeah, work continues today on it but they called it “complete” twenty years ago. I remember my grandfather sent off a sample as part of the project. How can it be complete if they’re still analyzing it?

Sounds like something out of The Raven. 😛 I like calzone. Around here, they tend to fill it with a fluffy cheese making it taste very light.…[Read more]

And one of the characters from the book is a Time Lord himself. The book is pretty fun!

Not sure on the comic but will look! I still haven’t seen the Body Snatchers even though it’s been on the actual watchlist for years (not sure which version). I really need to change that 🙁

Will check it out! Been a while since I’ve watched some of the old…[Read more]

Great, thanks. I have an installation USB from where I installed Windows last year. Will that suffice or should I pick up another USB drive?

Thanks, will take a look! I was able to boot Linux without a working bootloader when I initially installed Windows from going directly to the UEFI so it may already be done but will look! 🙂

The activity on Dostips has slowed down over time, no doubt due to being less a part of the Windows boot process than it was back in the day, except when it comes to dual booting. List C for preboot file management is sure to help. 🙂
The bugbear of youtube video restricted countries has resurfaced, fairly sure its doable here, so on the to-do…[Read more]

There’s also Windows PE, handy if you want to fix the Windows first. GRUB is certainly an option, here’s a guide on the UEFI usage. 🙂

So far, The Cake Bible has been a big success. Haven’t had a single failure thus far. Sometime soon, I plan on getting a decorating plunger so that I can look at more involved aspects. 🙂

That said, the chickens are laying again! 😀

Going to see if I can get a good source of goat meat. Had it in soup a decade ago and it was wonderful! Went to an…[Read more]

Yeah, I really wish Microsoft wasn’t so hostile towards other operating systems. Running multiple versions of windows isn’t exactly a very popular scenario! 😛

It does sort of follow what I’m reading in most places, that BCDBoot should be able to just fix things. Going to need to get my courage up: brain surgery is always a difficult business.…[Read more]

Have you tried a different outlet on a different circuit? It could be that leg isn’t getting enough current

Would you have another device to test the UPS with?

Yeah, I have some not so fond memories of doing that ages ago with my Nvidia GTX 780s. Wasn’t a fun experience 🙁

So does that mean it’s time for the system to be reincarnated as a…[Read more]

Those are fine, what there is from the horse’s mouth is next to useless:

Visual BCDEdit would be terrific if it could show gui forms when run from a recovery disk, indeed something like XTGold from early DOS would be a blast. 😛

A good idea might have been a sister site, STI@Home, the search for terrestrial intelligence. At this moment, as well as other moments past and present, Computational Biology looks to be beyond mine, curiously the timeline chart of the Genome project ends abruptly at 2003.

Do those look reasonable? Definitely looks straight forward even if it also has the feel of brain surgery to it

Hope this all works out with minimum fuss. Glad to have Support on board, they should pitch in with something solid. All that could be trawled from Bing was this:

Yeah, we have nettles too but not sure which variety. They mostly grow in sandy scrublands here. Often see them near prickly pears (a form of cactus), which are quite tasty. Haven’t seen them in a while, though, but I haven’t been to many sandy woodlands in a while.

I really need to get a book on wild edibles one day. The bookstore up the street…[Read more]

Okay, just did a cursory search and looks like I can simply copy the files from the Windows USB and then run the bootloader repair command to link everything back up. Will need to do some more thorough reading of the articles on the computer to make sure but it looks like it shouldn’t be a difficult fix. Of course, we know how that goes. Curse you…[Read more]

Blech. Had to reinstall Linux but that only fixed some of the issues. So the firmware upgrade has caused the device drivers to act slow in the UEFI menu now and in the bootloader. In addition, reinstalling Linux seems to have broken the Windows bootloader. That doesn’t even make sense. Guess I need to boot up the Windows USB and see if I can run a…[Read more]

I can access the underlying system using chroot from the Live USB. I did take a look at the config files and backed up some of them but not all. Grabbed .config but not .local, probably should go back and do that maybe…

We’re all just space dust, after all!

They did experiment with cloud connected Furbies so the fears weren’t unwarranted, just…[Read more]
