A console application would be fun, and as we are dealing with file/folder names – (after Bill Gates) one line should be more than enough. ๐
Another milestone in either case is knowing what the filesystem is, thus not providing support for FAT volumes under Windows which contain only upper case file/folder names.
And detect UNC paths, as renaming files or running batch files from such media will require leaping through more hoops:call :isUncPath C:
if %errorlevel% == 0 echo C: is on UNC
exit /b:IsUncPath
::: param1 – drive letter with colon, ex Y:
::: @return exitcode 0 – drive is network mapped
net use %~1 >nul 2>&1
EXIT /B %errorlevel%A welcome invitation to any players of a lightly modded Fallout NV install that wish to try out how the game performs on Linux, exists to sample delights of the lower case filename and xEdit rename utilities at the first opportunity. ๐
Well, morality kicks in a bit when you know how hungry the coyotes are. If they are moderately hungry, they would all be happy to share one deer, so in a chase, the slowest deer will lose, as it happens in un-biased settings. If they are ravenous, probably the same thing, as they may not be in good enough health to digest the meat properly, and if they are not so hungry, do nothing,. as the coyotes will probably do as well.
And so it happened, AI infrastructure begins with a bang and a crunch. The owners of Nvidia may not be too happy with the 17% drop, or not too surprised either, as they knew it had to happen. Even AMD shares went down 6.4%.
Leech season over here, as opposed to further north, down here the “anรฆsthetic” isn’t so strong, so can be felt earlier. The shortfall might be related to the recent extended drought, in which the poor critters exist mostly as a relatively dry withered bit of tube. ๐It’s amazing, the first thing that comes up on Google search for AI Suite is the cleaner. ๐
Hmmm, thought the driver updates were turned off, everything is switched off, still got the Logitech 11.55.3120 successfully installed, as all the other updates in the other categories are. Seems the GP settings for driver updates were nixed in the W11 24H2 updates, oh well, it’s all explained at Intune, so why worry?
Oh, and just in case we were wondering:
You won’t be able to uninstall some updates. Uninstalling updates may put your PC at risk.
Of the hundreds of updates successfully installed on this rig, there’s an option to uninstall only three, same with Linux?
Yep, not so much of a risk on the managed desktops, as they are vetted, tested and ratified as per schema. Not so with the Ryzen, did however make the move of un-installing the Armoury Crate as some of the associated background processes seem to chew up a few cycles of mhz. Uninstallation using the Armoury_Crate_Uninstall_Tool mentioned here went without hitch. Hardly used it, however there is an alternative setup utility which is worth a try at some stage. ๐
Oh nice, wonder if for those, anyone is good enough for a screenplay near enough as good as it was for (at least the first season of) WayWard Pines.
Funny thing about cold shock in some plants, for many it can be a delayed effect, they remain seemingly okay until early spring, and then fade. 25ยฐ is certainly about the limit for subtropicals.
Heard this guy on the radio today, what he says boils down to everything we say, write, or do is geared ultimately toward harm minimisation. As one reviewer put it:Our sense of morality is rooted in avoiding harm.
A bit depressing actually, mostly on account of the fact it all boils down to reveal a hard kernel of truth. ๐
Ah yes, a fairly positive reader reaction at Goodreads. Having completed Wayward Pines, Dark Matter is next?
The hourly could mean 80% chance of the 20% weekly happening in the next hour, or could the weekly mean there’s a 20% chance of 80% happening each and every hour, as opposed to a random hour. ๐
Bunker up though, any plants in pots are best kept close to a brick wall for best results.For the sheer delight of everyone, they played the Double BongCloud Attack, but hey wouldn’t that go down super well in the rapid tournaments. The game would be over even before the players had settled in their chairs!

How odd, the dates for expiry on the certs (excluding the mail related) were set for the 13th of February. Looks like they have been manually regenerated then, still no confirmation from the providers. The full WHM access allows for some AutoSSL tweakage, not sure if it would have helped us here though.
Edit: They came back with:This may be considered as a slight glitch as Auto SSL is being renewed automatically.
Despite the overly technical overtones given in the explanation, we will also happily note the mention of Bethesda Softworks in Wikipedia’s Video game glitches. ๐
Happened again at the day of this posting, AutoSSL times out, the internal cPanel error with the certificates was:
The installed certificate does not cover this domain
All of a sudden, three hours later, the certificates are fine. No word from the providers as yet, so just in case they missed it, requested a reason for the outage. The certificates are to expire in two weeks time, wonder if this is some kind of “nudge” to make preparations for their renewal, or just another bog standard glitchy software stall.
All right, went and suggested it. They do that over here, a continual succession of James Bond, Lara Croft, Harry Potter, Night at the Museum, Indiana Jones etc. etc. reboots. Fair to say that most JB movies are worth a second look. ๐
Kiel was truly a giant of television, this guy is a monster! ๐
For fans of movies with female heroines, Haywire is a slick piece, David Holmes’ score has a clangy sixties feel and the direction necessitates tight action sequences and cool chases. Stellar cast. It’s also viewable on YouTube. ๐Nice list from the other thread, hovercraft were all the rage in the 60s and 70s, not so much in the later Bond movies. The Griffon 2000TD operated by Brosnan in Die Another Day wasn’t listed, wonder why.
About an hour into The Voyeurs, changing the channel was very tempting, so equipped with the desire for absolute martyrdom persisted with it, and, well, was somewhat rewarded with the inclusion of this fable. The FTA described had the film as a drama, so expected a mild, yet interesting convolution in the plot. Wikipedia has it as erotic thriller, so not surprisingly, spoiler alert yet unbelievably a death.
The critics are right about the characters, they want a lot more oomph if you like, could be an issue with the script as well. Someone from RT called it “Gussied up smut,” wouldn’t go that far. The redeeming features were the easy pace, some of the characterizations, that warm “B” grade feel, and the revelations at the end. 6.5/10 here.LAA flag is just a setting for the linker in the 32 executable code, PrgLnch will set it for sure.
There was another site derived from GeoCities with numbers in the name, 777 or 888, Los Angeles? based, not listed as a free home page like these:

Ah the nineties, this is a precis, the best websites, and all the things we miss.
Boing-Boing don’t like the host listings, so up goes a blocker/wall without a booiiing sound effect. Luckily, you can clear the cache and cookies, then, in reloading the page, quickly hit the handy stop/pause button before the wall comes up again. Yes, its hilarious, sort of thing one would find in TikTok. ๐
Haven’t seen many – if any – of those in this country, not to say they aren’t here of course:
https://historicvehicles.com.au/historic-car-restorations/1936-delahaye-135s
Tread lighly with those dealers! Like with most brands, the real cost of a vehicle comes with all the extras, addons and fries with that. ๐
If in short supply of eye opening forms of transport, look no further than a hobby horse!

Do remember seeing that, Laurie chucked in a few goodies like the familiar Also sprach Zarathustra, pinched later by Kubrick and his gang:
The Two Faces of January (film) is a classy production around a rather mean plot line. The sets, the acting, the scenes and the music are all to die for! ๐
The Green Veil is an oddball bang/crash glim/glam venture into the 1950s world of the Navajo stolen generations. Episodes are only 20 minutes which adds to the novelty. Another eyecatcher is the UFO diner in the final episode – should grab a piccy of it sometime.One fine orchestrator for film scores is Alberto Iglesias – here’s the main titles from The Two Faces of January:
Here’s one from Broken Embraces with cool still-image warping visuals on the change:
Another composer of movie music who knocks us over and round like roly poly dolls is Silvestri – here’s the theme for Father of the Bride:
He also scored for a fabulous bunch of movies like Lara Croft, Judge Dredd and the Avengers. Amazing! ๐Can contact Nimrod if you like, although we’re not sure whether he received explicit permission in the first place, see the post. The project is so old, there’s a good chance no-one will be worried about it all that much. Does Nimrod’s licence permit a third party copying his code, and then attributing his work in the updated project?
Just curious, from the other thread, does PrgLnch help any with the monitors? Using the Lnchpad isn’t a bad idea as suggested at NexusMods listing, of course PrgLnch has its own LAA facility. ๐
Edit: Also check OS compatibility, might go better in W7 mode, for instance.
Haven’t been with Lycos.com for a while now, it’s quite nice, and Tripod still offers web publishing. Signed up to htmlGear in 2002, retired some years later, the 404 page suggests Tripod, naturally. ๐
Looking over some other old accounts, signed up to Sourceforge in 2003, believe it or not. ๐
Couple of other items of interest, editing the thumbs.db as per this helped, but you still had to twiddle some of the other options before they bin.
Besides a caveat or three, the Win + P can be useful with windows lost in monitors. ๐This Catch Me a Killer series is quite engrossing in the detail of the considerable number and scale of serial killings in South Africa at the time. It stars Charlotte Hope, a seasoned actor notable from Bancroft season 2, as the lead investigative psychologist, Micki Pistorius.
In the episode The Phoenix Strangler: Part II, she relates to her companion an old story of persistence and determination related to her many years ago by an elderly relative. It’s encapsulated in the following video, 1932 USS Akron Floats Away Navy Men Cling to Rope for Life:
Amazing. ๐Cool, going to watch for that, yeah it’s Amazon Prime, so could do it on the 30 day free trial.
Back to slashers briefly, Scream VI on FTA presented plenty of excitement, thrills and spills, the violence is rampant, as expected for the franchise. Watching this through and after dinner is not recommended for the squeamish, could also be this viewer is getting too long in thedaggertooth for this kind of stuff. ๐I’d leave Dave’s for the moment, Nimrod actually has the solution, however conversion of the vcproj to vcxproj is the first port of call. All the included files will be in there – have you got to that stage yet?
Re-arranging the dir structure is critical, as you know.Note to self, the protective familiar spirit (what’s the word?) of HP is wanton to prohibit the usage of the Intelยฎ Driver & Support Assistant outside of the HP Support Assistant, so, uninstalled, and hands off in future!
