Nope, not silent! And in color, too!

Alice was a combination of both books but mostly the first one. It was really fun! Of course, my mom has always hated it as she never thought that it made any sense 😛

I bring you the Mad Tea Party segment:

Lasers! The base stations emit a laser beam on a motor and the headset uses it for positioning. A lot of other headsets use cameras, which are cheaper but don’t have the same kind of accuracy (and can’t be used in the dark). 🙂 The accuracy is much better since I elevated them by mounting them on the wall, which is nice 🙂

Yuck! You’re not using…[Read more]

How do the VR base station work- is it just audio/visual or something else?
Nothing like a cool change, after a very dry year, we are also receiving some much needed rain.
Funny thing happened with hibernate resume, pressing escape out of the W11 lockscreen (which wants to be turned off) the screen looked like a still version of the sea in this…[Read more]

Haven’t seen any of those, was the early one silent? Did any of those movies ever “do justice” to the book, as with Through the Looking Glass, a priceless masterpiece.

Did happen to see the original Piranha the other day, funny thing is, do now faintly recall seeing it many years ago. Nice one, with plenty of thrills, with respect to such the…[Read more]

Finally got around to watching Snow White even though it’s almost 100 years old. I’m late! 😛

Anyways! It was rather odd. They made the faces of the two main characters a lot less detailed than any of the secondary ones. Wasn’t much my cup of tea but I also watched the 1951 version of Alice in Wonderland again, which is right up my alley. 🙂

Just generally upgrading my surge protection. I had quite a few outlets that I use frequently that not only didn’t have surge protection but didn’t have enough places to plug things in so I was constantly juggling plugs as I needed them 🙂

I usually get the model that handles up to 4000 J while the one they sent me is the 4150 J model (difference…[Read more]

Nice. What’s it for?

We’ve been having some icky weather lately. It’s been about 65 – 70ish with extremely high humidity lately so the humidity inside is around 75% and has been 100% outside. Not fun! The next project around here for the handyman is to replace the weatherstripping. That should help! Due to the temperature range, running the air…

Yay! We’re back! Just wanted to get a post in! 😛

Ordered another surge protector the other day and they sent me the upgraded model instead of the one I had ordered but I’m not complaining!

Lovely! Been wondering where that music was from!

Here’s an old classic:

Been reading up online about cleaning up electrical contacts for my workshop’s toolkit and it sounds like DeOxIt is a well regarded go-to for reviving old electricals.

Still need to order some more tools and tool storage but I’ll get there!

Oh, bugger, will repost. As being an issue, raised a request at WP if for no other reason than to put it out there!
A graveyard smash indeed- now it’s time for a holiday!

Demonic Toys was fun if you like them silly and bad. 😛

Ah, okay. I’ve been playing a lot of No Man’s Sky the past couple of weeks. Been working on building out the power grid for my starter base. Once I get everything unlocked, I’ll make one on a nice lush planet I have access to. Of course, it’ll take a lot of asteroid mining to get the gold I need for the solar arrays 😛

Sounds good 🙂

It’d be…[Read more]

Ugh! Have you tried lossless compression? Not sure which formats YouTube takes, though. I know little about video files. :/

Yeah, upload speeds are historically pretty low. I think the logic is that home users shouldn’t need to upload a lot of large files unless they’re working. In which case, the providers would rather you get on a more…[Read more]

On the shiny new SSE machine now, so won’t get back to Baldur’s until April. Do remember a large number of quests popping up once the team has passed Wyrm’s Crossing though. 🙂

The support team for Smeg didn’t want the 100 mb video file created and edited with Clipchamp. So, the easiest thing to do was use Youtube filtering to get the thing down to just under 12mb, at the same resolution.

It’s shockingly bad!
Speedtest provide reasonable results for this connection, the upload…[Read more]

Anymore updates? 🙂

Sorry, all of these outages have really thrown me off!

I did try zooming in but I still had a bit of a hard time figuring out some bits. Will take another look! 🙂

Yikes! Hopefully it’s an easy fix! Always liked the design of their appliances. Really like the retro look 🙂

Cool!

Yeah, ADHD can be tough on you!

Got all the surge protectors…[Read more]

Cool! Good thing the Spongebob universe avoided them. Who knows how that would have worked out otherwise 😛

I think part of it is that it needs to start all the drivers and things. All my systems have started off at 100% fan speed until everything is fully loaded, for example. I know there’s a bug in Windows that’s existed forever where it…[Read more]
