For some reasons of personal preference, not interested in getting email involved, hence the reliance on bubbles. That may change though. 😛

Updated the style pack as there was only one change for blocks, will leave BP for you, the changes seem benign enough. 🙂

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. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

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, stable interface, and 100% proven reliability of service. The good times will not last, as it will be unceremoniously decommissioned by the provider, the cheapest replacement being is a Fetch mini.
The old TTV box will not remain a relic on these premises because the providers are accepting returns, which shows they care, in a roundabout Roki kind of way. 🙂

Is it happening to the same pattern and frequency as before? If there is underground optical fibre to the house, something en route is causing the interference. As the co-tenants in the block experience the same, the service providers should have come back with a report on the first outage at least.
Get TD-LTE 4G from a nearby tower, if the tower goes, there’s sure to be a delay, so it’s back to setting up the phone line again with the old modem for Broadband, or even back to dial-up with another provider. 😛

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 misfired events had to be made in a comical context, in light of the argument that comedy is defined as the whole not being the sum of the parts.
• It was comedy enough for the creators of the movie to even conceive of the notion others would even be discussing this dilemma.

Barbershop: The Next Cut is a no-nonsense movie with a no-nonsense and fast paced dialogue, so very much a comedy. Lots of fun, not all quite to the sweet spot this way. 🙂
Almost to the end of Dark Winds (series 1), disappointed with the scripted decision making of some of the characters, particularly the FBI agent, so the whole thing comes off as a bit hokey. Plenty of Navajo lore in there, and the ominous cloud sequence is a plus.

After they installed it, there are now two entries in Installed Apps, Microsoft Teams (Work and School) and Microsoft Teams Classic (as before), after choosing an account in the opening gui of new MS Teams, we get:

We’re sorry – We’ve run into an issue.

The program restarts, and reselecting the account still gets the same.
Verification of the above-mentioned curtains with running the old Teams C:\Users\ME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\current\Teams.exe as we get the same message as before, this time however, still signed in with the defunct lm******@oz*****.au though.
Disabled the new from running at startup by removing the link to Update.exe in:

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

There is perhaps a glimmer of hope on the old conversations returning to the gui next run. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

The final curtain has been drawn on TC:

The new Teams is installed and ready to use
You can switch now or later. If you do nothing, we’ll switch you the next time Teams is idle.

They installed it without asking, and the “later” means next time the program is run, the same nag prompt comes up with no way ray back into the old conversations. 🙁

Just a little niggle that was thought to be mentioned here previously,- apparently not.
Created an extra FTP account in cPanel, lmstearnTPP just to try instead of the horrible account name xzjkv5sl.
Came back access denied, so submitted a ticket. Good news on the stuff missed, the ticket was updated with the following:

Resolved, the settings are:

FTP Username: lm*********@st*********.com
FTP server: http://ftp.stearnvault.com
FTP & explicit FTPS port: 21

The /home/xzjkv5sl/stearnvault.com/lmstearnTPP directory was added by default in cPanel. Didn’t exist, so should have been just /home/xzjkv5sl.
Also WinSCP (or I) somehow ended up using the lower case lmstearntpp instead of lmstearnTPP. The lower case login never worked, so all of the above things contributed to the access denied error.

There is still an issue getting onto:
http://www.stearnvault.com/webmail
This was mentioned in their welcoming letter:

Log in using the full email address and associated password. Note: Webmail should be used when accessing email away from your main computer, such as when on vacation. It is not designed to be used for day to day email access.

And there is a current kerfuffle regarding their zendesk interface where I cannot login to view the entire content of this godforsaken ticket.
Oh what fun. 🙂

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, so waiting with bated breath for more developments at portals such as BeachBum Comics, which hopefully turn up commingled with streamlined prices at the checkout. 🙂
Have you ever borrowed a book from a library, and not returned it yet? How about this fellow not returning Psychedelics for 37 years! A candidate ripe for The Book of Alternative Records no doubt. 😛
Have Californian geraniums your way? Quite a handsome looking plant naturalising further north of here as an not too unpleasant escapee from gardens. 🙂

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 Tarot journalling for Pokémon sounds like a great idea for a mod.
Can’t go past the Dungeons & Dragons Tarot Deck, and for those in tropical places lucky enough to grow delicious taro, Taro Cards is the go to deck, unfortunately no preview as it is WIP, the upside is a mailbox on provided on that page for expressions of interest. 🙂
Go Taro! 😛

Answered at threadit. 🙂
Once I get some fangs into AHK v2, it might be possible to extend the simple bind for OpenCV. 🙂
Yeah, diagram required first, an animated gif even, most welcome on the site. 🙂

Got a link? Most of the folks that inhabit these forums expect one who asks a question to know the answer already, and in the event of not being able to provide a constructive, positive and meaningful response, blame the grammar.
In any case, malicious links have to be reported, Google have a form for that, reaching out to a subreddit moderator might help. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Thanks, thought as much, will keep an eye on it – as with other things, the eyes of Argos will be handy as reserve. 😛
Console is a very good idea, there’s even a plugin for it. 🙂
Yes, she was then converted into a goddess before the marriage, and they lived happily ever after. Allegedly. 😛

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. 😛

Went ahead and swapped the SIMS, now the new SIM functions in the new tablet. H’ray. The old tablet and SIM Device Info won’t recognize the old SIM – it is surely inserted correctly, aw welp.
Now we can turn to other performance issues, the first thing that stands out is all these Office365_like apps requiring complex key input combinations installed. The tablet keyboard might accommodate for tiny hands and fingers, here it’s pretty much a one finger ding dong affair with a tendency to slow down the pace.
Haven’t really tried out anything with complex game engines yet – are there some providing “simple” keyboard (“pad”) interaction?

[DeVaultSetter]

Did they come through yet – don’t forget a multimeter, get one with a friendly interface. For your average meter newbie, gear like the DT830B Digital Multimeter used recently is a bit clunky, if not finicky. 🙂
Have an old piano in the recess underneath the house, a Rosenkranz beauty which, despite a broken leg, lusts for a restorer’s touch and a good old tune up.

It’s similar in design to the piano in the cover image, and the following restoration:

Once had a socket wrench to assist with tuning, a tool of considerable utility now suspected as having done a bunk, so it’s turned out to be a heart wrencher instead. 😛

Walrus has them!
As I don’t trust Google all that much (yet still use their password manager), keep all the sensitive stuff in FPM, there may be better around, but works well enough here. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

Bender is amazing! 😀
Think the rabbit hole of transparent images in the cover image slot was traversed at some stage last year – in any case the background is not Cosmic Reef but the well known cardboard grey translucent effect. There is a really nice BP article on cover images involving a bit of code.
So replaced with this:

Will be updating the Thread on these. 🙂

Yes, legal teams championing work related injuries big over here along with pet/funeral insurance, discount furniture and sports betting apps, and who cannot sample the delights of loud and frequent promotions of reality programs – what else is new? 😛
Great concept in the evolution of theatre, around the time of Weiss the Adams Family was like unto the Munsters, Smellovision was like unto Aromarama it seemed. All that is left now of Aromarama is Da Bomb. 🙂
Quite an interesting choice for artists, is it not reasonable to use AI in situations where some repetition can be avoided? The AI robot “knows” the artist’s style, and will generate forms in a similar manner to him, and if the result looks too artificial, he just touches it up a little. Who will notice?
$55 is surely a hefty price for the comic book, no doubt a sizable portion of the proceeds will be returned to the artist’s industrious AI developers. 😛
