Yeah, it’ll be a big job for sure. I suppose I could start by checking public record and going from there. Have to start somewhere!

Are you clicking the icon in the window border that also gives you the drop down options for Minimize or maximize or the File menu? It’s usually in the former if available 🙂

Suggest you get a start on it, by the sheer size it’ll be yonks before lineage, roots, and bloodlines resolve from the blur. 😛

Thanks, it’s Windows Terminal 1.19 they use in Gramps, surprisingly no copy as such in the TL menu, but an export text function which could be handy. In Settings>Actions you can redefine the keys as well. In the…[Read more]

Cool! At the cemetery that a lot of family uses, some of the graves for the oldest relations are so old (by Florida standards, at least) that it’s very hard to identify them, especially with them being around the time the Civil War was heating up. The records from that period are pretty poor so we’ve only got a general idea of who they belong to.…[Read more]

Lovely, could work in a terrarium too. 🙂
Fetch box is on the way, so once activated, there’s no going back to the TTV. The service operator said they were fine, any temerity for riposting “fine, for landfill?” was in short supply. 😛
Digital clocks are passé, and so are the keys that wind them, and if anything gets lost in clockland, the keys go…[Read more]

Wow, made more more than 20 years ago, and those skeletons are sure to be still dancing!
A cracking recent rendition of an old song. 🙂

It’s nothing special, just a long rectangle about four inches wide and two feet long and an inch high. Think it was scrap from something. Not sure what! I’m using it as a pedestal for my miniature rock garden 😛

Hopefully the new one isn’t as finicky! Still enjoying my Roku Ultra. Absolutely no problems with it and it’s a lot more responsive than…[Read more]

Lucky you! If undamaged, might be worth something, especially to those who reported it missing from their art deco dungeon floor traps collection yonks ago. 😛
The Telstra TV3 Roki box, for all its shortcomings, has now found itself in perfect condition with a friendly, table interface, and 100% proven reliability of service. The good times will…[Read more]

Great! Weird issue with the old SIM but at least the new one is up and running 🙂

Not sure on game compatibility with physical keyboards as I haven’t played a mobile game in, oh, twelve years? Something like that, anyways!

Yeah, I dislike onscreen keyboards too. Granted, I haven’t picked up a physical one but I probably will one day.

I took a…[Read more]

Haven’t had a chance to read it yet but had an interesting article come in related to what we were discussing: https://futurism.com/the-byte/biologist-says-sun-conscious

The categorization of comedy is funny in many of these type of movies, funny in that

• It was either too tragic or not tragic enough not to be tragic, so it had to be comedy.
• As attempts by the movie-makers of light heartedness or jollity in each dramatic event of the movie failed to fire, a critique of the resulting concatenation of the…

Grading and cover pricing are relatively recent developments in comic pubs, there’s thread on grading and Cvr pricing over at Reddit. Back in the day, comic syndication was the province of newspaper editors, as a replacements these on first spec come across as an elaborate way of increasing revenue for Mr. Middleman!

There’s obviously more to it,…[Read more]

A big (TCG) welcome to the public arena! 🙂
There’s mention here of the differences of Master Duel with TCG and OCG, is it aligned to one more than the other, or indeed enough for a separate MDCG category?
In expanding the discussion a little, while (not really) a follower of Tarot, this one has a very nice thematic set, in fact something like Taro…[Read more]

Over the course of the last few months, it looks like the seed for the random number generator in Master Duel is set on load instead of being randomized before each round. Could be wrong and just be incredibly unlucky but I have had days where I get awesome hands each round for the session and other days where I get zilch each time. Generally,…[Read more]

Went ahead and moved this thread to the public area 🙂

Yeah, he will be missed 🙁

😀

Just realized that I haven’t shared Hammerfall in close to a decade. Need to fix that!

Saw The Driller Killer yesterday and it was pretty ho hum. I disagree with the reception on that and the categorization as a black comedy. The slasher aspects and the basic plot were only loosely linked together and there was no fanfare at all with the slasher bits, just people getting drilled up for no apparent rhyme or reason. They also overdid…[Read more]

Tardigrades are near indestructible! 😀

Yep, many different possibilities that definitely need consideration. Take Venus, for instance. There are some theories that microbial life could be living in its clouds. Fortunately, this is a planned mission but by a private party. We need more publicly funded missions to keep the private sectors from…[Read more]

I’ve seen a variety of flavored soaps, too! Used to be pretty popular but that trend seems to have waned 😛

About half the cost is for the grading and cover price. The grading service is 15 – 20 USD depending on outfit and the cover price is 6 – 7 USD. Looks like it’s also signed so that adds additional value. Personally, though, I wouldn’t pay…[Read more]

Yep! Got them the other week 🙂 Haven’t had the opportunity to do much with them yet, though. It’s either been pouring rain or too humid 🙁

Yep, got a multimeter but I may need a new one. This one is ten years old and was a freebie from a discount store so I’ll need to test it and even then its accuracy may be rather questionable 😛

Cool! I’d…[Read more]

Had the Lithium Battery feed in grid solar system installed a while back, didn’t get the monitoring with Redback Technologies going until recently because of an account schmozzle. Basic interface, nice bar charts though. 🙂
EOL for AHK V1, thus urging us on to make some headway with the new. How time flies. 😛
