Cool! Do you receive Boing Boing’s Newsletter? Would be nice if they had archived versions of it just in case new subscribers missed anything – and – should one worry too much re Mailchimp?
What about governments of the world getting together with the manufacture and distribution of Hogwarts brooms and mounts to aid in the cleanup of the world’s…[Read more]

On the rainy day watchlist, a handy thing to have in case of regular watchlist going all sparse of a sudden, unlikely right now as the favourite FTA channel is offering plenty of “new” content. Like this one, Don’t Look Now with Donald Sutherland. The stories by Daphne Du Maurier were very trendy back in the day, this one even gets a mention with…[Read more]

Good to know, the study itself is some years back, yet the 18/12/2023 youtube video has clocked up millions in the first day or so. Wow.
Do appreciate his use of Shutterstock image, most bloggers tend to avoid printing the attribution, as to some readers, it may come off as detracting from the message of the article. From the bloggers perspective,…[Read more]

Rootsweb is going down the gurgler, Ancestry is just too big, for no more reason than having gobbled up RW and others. It does a have a good search, mind you, the best bits therewith unlocked after coins have been inserted in the slot. 😛

Missed that one, so a few good laughs in it is worth a watch. 🙂
Licence to Kill starts off by kicking the rather worn looking plot down the road with gusto, and makes like a standard C grade action film for the first 30 minutes at least. Does improve a bit, and some of the stunts are…[Read more]

Watched Valérian et la Cité des mille planètes (excuse the French) the other night.

Should we ever mention that word “uneven”, some spectacular visuals, the basic plot line worked, but wanted beefing up, ditto for the leads, enjoyable enough not to turn it off half way through, as one would in the ca…[Read more]

Funny thing about this, we say nothing if things are fine, and become very loud if they are not.
Yep, video drivers updates used to be weird, MS preferred to handle them “automatically”, the video driver folk were always wont find something to complain about WU, and in many cases, justifiably so. Things have settled somewhat since then. 🙂

Tried a LiteSpeed modification, the above would work for a local setup, as corrected at BBPress.

Who wouldn’t climb a mountain to see Benny Hill? There are plenty of memories here, this compilation came up first in Google.
The Phantom was on FTA tonight, not really worth watching twice, notwithstanding it’s been that long, and it flunks out in a rather fun way.
On Portlandia, there’s a diagnosis of Early Onset…[Read more]

The larger crabs can double as mummies for extra effect – to be captured a youtube video, no less! 🙂
Do you journey east or west for the best beaches?
Yay, Codeproject feed has returned, heralded by a marvellous gripe about Stupid Editor Lines & Symbols courtesy MS no less. 😛

🙂 Yep, the EM waves make for a dial-up moondem on eternal handshake!
The Broodx are getting through to the DAS in the fibre-optic cables! Let’s check with them:

Well tonight the bubble on the forums landing page was at least a minute slower than the one in this forum topic. Hmmm, don’t think there was this particular problem with Cache enabler, assuming the memory is reliable.
Can say with certainty there were no issues before the caching plugins bubbled up. 🙂

The “read” bubble dissipating within the forum thread, but not in the main or root forums page points to an indication that at least something in there is off. 😛

Happening very often since the move to TPP, there is a thread here which offers a code fix:

Luckily, it’s a very quick and easy fix to get around this error.  Simply open up your active themes function.php file and paste in the following:

add_filter( 'bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 'my_bbp_verify_nonce_request_url', 999, 1 );…

Not of the top, there’s a list of movie candidates at this forum, and here’s a bonus horror gag, try and coax ChatGPT et al to come up with a close match!
At present streaming Vienna Blood, had the impression it was released earlier than it was, very watchable, nothing in it to bowl over the critics, unfortunately.

Speaking of farts, one came up on the FTA news show regarding John Kerry at Dubai on Sunday:

The good articles are most likely behind a paywall, which means signing up to a subscription somewhere. Happy enough over here to pick up a mag in the newsagents and follow up on Google regarding anything that…[Read more]

😛 Considering the density of the atmosphere, it’s amazing one can hear anything at all! They also have the sound of a meteoroid striking the planet’s surface and breaking up, … to this ear not quite as expected – wonder how big it was?

Good to know, how many base stations are there?
No, hoping it’s just a glitcho with hibernate, repeat occurrences will not be savoured at all!
Sounds like something on the contacts, can be a bit of moisture, or even insects or spiders, over here the old Sherwood RX-5502 has a bit of leakage which causes a crackle every time the TRS cord is pulled.…[Read more]

Only a minute this time, so just doing nothing makes it get better? The object cache is supposed to boost BP some, if this is the cost, the surefire way to troubleshoot would be to inactivate BP before reading an incoming reply. Should be safe to do (as with Cleantalk) as plugin settings are usually preserved.

Down to about 3-5 minutes now, the change used to be immediate- perhaps something else broke.
