Random memory: many moons ago when I was in the market for a Blu-ray player, the store told me to buy a PS3 instead. Needless to say, I went to a different shop to get one. 😛

😀

Saw the Halloween remake yesterday. Haven’t seen the first one so I don’t have much to compare it to but it came off as a rather run of the mill slasher. We had to sit through a good half hour or so of build-up before the story actually started, showing Michael in the asylum. While it was good to give them a backstory, I felt they overdid it…[Read more]

Is it possible to set it up as a tree-view using something like graphviz? Would be a fun way to browse through the history 🙂

Hopefully it goes relatively smoothly. What really irks me is when a library deprecates a function but doesn’t provide a similar function for the task, keeping from being able to upgrade. Gets pretty annoying sometimes 😛

Yuck! No options in the account settings to limit the emails? Never used Ali’s sites before

The search section is pretty…[Read more]

And from Alaska:

“Kangaroos are not allowed in barber shops at any time.”

Some of them really make you wonder 😛

Yuck. Asbestos can be messy. 🙁

Awesome! Doing an image search shows a lot of them on a banana but what about a bus being enclosed in a banana? That could be fun!

Grampsweb is the first port of call, possible on Synology, and possible in hosting, no plugin based WP integration as such. There does happen to be Tangled Web at Github from late ’21.
For now, trying out the Narrated Website, the first blue was selecting the tar.gz in the export options, the backslashes turned borko in the tarball,…[Read more]

Definitely checking out the next codpiece, and oh yeah, Roddy Piper was a true artist! 😛

A first glimpse of the lead in Taxi Driver and Robert De Niro may not come to mind, from what we know of his later work. Scorcese wrung all the changes well from the shock ending revelations of the film, which,…[Read more]

You may not have an ice cream cone in your back pocket at any time

What if it’s just the wafer cone without the filling? Funny about Joe Biden’s ice cream Gaza ceasefire speech, if it was performed in Washington with a lollipop instead, illegal!

Had a recent scare involving asbestos in mulch in schools, much of it is bonded though. When…[Read more]

Probably the Libra. I quite like the form factor: it’s roughly the size of a hardback book so it feels quite natural in my hands when I’m reading it. 🙂

Really, my only complaints are some of the software bugs but they’re more annoyances than deal breakers. 🙂

Yeah, I’m a big fan of salvias. Here, they can stay around a few years before going…[Read more]

Oh, given your phone is 10 years old, and Samsung having announced it now supports 7 upgrades for Galaxy devices, yours now qualifies for the update? Wow, some shock factor in there for the phone, and apart from the OS sucking the life out of the unit, everything looks fine?
Admittedly, on 1080p, the tablet here has more grunt, and, compared to…[Read more]

Libra or Clara? 😛
Luckily the Mexican Petunias are susceptible to frost which keeps them away from here somewhat, there’s a handy Grow Me Instead for this locale, there’s sure to be similar your way.
Surprised about the elephants ears taking hold, again, they are frost tender, so don’t get them in the wild in these here parts.
Came across these…[Read more]

Finally! The next one I get in a few years will be a color model 🙂

Not sure about those stats but Constitution definitely does! 😛

Moving on to the Cult Films category 😀

Yeah, haven’t seen In the Heat of the Night either but I’ll add it to the list.

Yep, the Ray Bradbury theater is quite fun! All of those series are fun and let’s not forget Thriller with Boris Karloff!

Saw this gem yesterday that I’ve been…[Read more]

Whelp. I asked the smart speaker what was playing and it said, “Noise”. I figured that much out so I’m assuming it was the song name but it usually gives me a band name, too. This is what happens when you leave out the artist! 😛

Oh, we get Tubi here too, never knew they had all those slashers, though the question remains as to whether my personality and charisma receives a 100% boost after watching them all. 😛
The second series of Dark Winds was, at least as far as geography and plot went, more expansive than the first. The spooky swirling clouds were replaced in the…[Read more]

The the grid goes, it’s on battery alone, thus powered outlets are limited, when it occurs on cloudy days, apply extra frugality of the sake of the battery!
Yep, haven’t attempted it yet, and from community feedback to current conversion tools, considerable intervention is still required.
Copilot popped up on the Android, funny that, as the device…[Read more]
