Fly us to the moon, but please don’t leave us there, and all those hard working roadies for Nightwish end up totally Finnished!
Nina Hagen is quite a versatile performer when it comes to styles, for one there’s Flying Saucers:

Some others include Auf´m Bahnhof Zoo, Der Spinner and Alright Tonight, there…[Read more]

They have a few other locations around the country as well, each with a completely different theme! Looks like they poopooed a Florida location at some point so, sadly, I’m not sure I’ll be able to experience them any time soon. Looks like a blast, though. 🙂

Also a good way to have your spices go missing if a wicked witch visits for the day.…[Read more]

Yeah, that’s strange. I’ve never had an issue like that when switching out the display. I’ve gone from HDMI to DisplayPort without anything amiss. Gremlins, maybe?

Nope, never came across that issue. Bit odd if it’s just testing it through a system call.

Cool! Could be quite handy!

Yep, can concur! A couple of my friends just started playing FO 1 and 2 again due to all the hype. Still need to play them myself… That and I never did make much progress in New Vegas. Not sure why when I quite enjoyed Fallout 3

Had a quick but fruitless trawl for “playable” TCG WP plugins, the most attractive looking one is the octgndev at wordpress.com, but of course we’re at least 12 years late, and things have changed considerably since then. Is there any chance at all with the Pokémon TCG SDK?
As for databases, wpdatatables is sure to do the job, though rather big,…[Read more]

Well, for sci-fi reality, we want REAL flying saucers please! 🙂 The Syfy Wire site is updated frequently with what you might say middle of the road content spiced up a little for a target audience of upper middle nerds. 😛

Yep, for some movies and remakes like that Halloween where you know exactly where things are going to be in 30 minutes,…[Read more]

If Omega Mart is the future of shopping, Vegas here we come:

Occasionally get themed jars through donations over here, haven’t come across anything quite like the Amazon set yet. And the deadly nightshade jar is first choice for the safe and secure storage of extremely valuable comestibles in deterring…[Read more]

Here’s a somewhat somber article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lost_inventions

Incomplete as it doesn’t mention the Antikythera mechanism and probably others but an interesting read all the same.

Important tip for Master Duel: focus on acquiring the staples after assembling a decent deck in the beginning. It’ll let you quickly upgrade things. Don’t do like I did and wait five months to start getting them. I would have had a much easier time if I had gotten them early on… 😛

Nightwish is great. Haven’t listened to them much lately (been many many years) but I’m changing that 🙂

Yes, the mysterious dostips never had a feedback or announcement mechanism, so we’ll never know what happened on the day. 😛
Have you ever experienced browser burko with msftconnecttest.com? Happened on w11 Chrome with new browser tabs opening in succession to that address. If it was NCSI, how do the browser pages help I wonder?
Ahk’s cert has…[Read more]

There’s … still a few imps dancing round and round, as firing up the old W10 Ob machine got a blank screen, rinse and repeat, couldn’t hear any obvious signs of disk activity. No sign of activity on the TV (primary monitor connected through HDMI.) The repair shop might have used a DVI connection for the monitor, however the dual monitor info was…[Read more]

I’ve also noticed that sometimes the sites ignore your email settings altogether until you click the unsubscribe links at the bottom of the offer emails. Gets pretty annoying 😛

Looks like it’s back up now!

Yeah, the comments look like they’ve had a database puke, blending comments together from several different entries. The result is…[Read more]

Great! Hopefully that old issue with the power plans is resolved now. 🙂

Speaking of, I’ve noticed that Windows doesn’t always want to go to sleep after a period of time. The fix? Usually to click somewhere on the desktop before leaving it. I think it’s just a side-effect of Windows being weird in general 😛

Huh, weird about the Skyrim one. Glad…[Read more]

Quite a few commercial sites do that now, rather than set the spam in the settings, find and use the unsubscribe link in the spam. Wonder if that’s the same in Woocommerce and the rest?
Dostips have been down a couple of weeks at least, the comments at the end of this page are somewhat off-piste as they actually refer to other downed sites. 😛

The Ob desktop is back from the repairer. He’s pretty good, and looks like he might have identified the issue with the drives configuration referenced by software using certain core libraries, like Oblivion.
Did ask him if I could have solved it with a recovery disk (DVD probably, the old BIOS/UEFI doesn’t handle USB sticks all that well), he said…[Read more]

Yep, Windows works fine partly due it it having its own bootloader. Doesn’t hurt that it’s isolated on another drive, either 🙂

Think I’ve got the live image flashed to the USB drive but I still need to test it before I pester support. Just been a bit tired the last few days 😛

Yerk, firmware upgrades are such that there is limited support for rollback, good luck if S76 can organize a quick fix. Can you get into Windows without issue?

Lots of stuff involved in genealogy research! Not sure I would pick up on all the differences, honestly. 🙂

Great!

Started watching Red Dwarf the other day and it’s wonderful!
