      Although KitchenAid are certainly expanding their design templates to accommodate an aesthetical integration in the kitchen decor, the right choice really depends on how the kitchen and contents are intended to look in the initial design phase.
      Personally, all that is required from a mixer is reliability, efficiency and ease of use, – and a place to store it when done. Cleaning is also important, a self-cleaning mixer anyone?
      One thing that cannot be avoided is noise, a good mixer always makes a good racket. πŸ˜›
      Edit: It’s for making bread? Can it whip up a pumpernickel toast – as per Denzel?

        Looks like problems with their server mentioned here.

          It looks rather nice, so well worth testing at some stage, thanks. πŸ™‚
          Next? Were you interested at all in styling up some new Blog pages, possibly featuring some of the special interest themes in for discussion back at Teams like Dreams, Disney, PokΓ©mon or even Arduino. A light, pictorial critique of NMS is another option, too. πŸ™‚

            If that guy on the sax had all the moves, they were sure busting to break out – just had to call 00111Loverboy for a primer! πŸ™‚
            Fast Five was fun, and the soundtrack didn’t disappoint:

              In shelling the breeze, lets mention the collection of nice utilities on CodeProject, for example Intellifile is a shell replacement for explorer written in C.
              A little hiccup occurred after logging to the site- have you seen the error before?

                Had a look in the bug fixes for 6.6.2, nothing for the favicon, so hopefully scheduled for 6.7.
                Shall we take the plunge for 6.6.2?

                  Oh, Falk is terrific in Colombo, too. Pencil in the Spielberg directed premiΓ¨re classic “Murder By the Book” along with “Candidate for Crime” for superb entertainment. πŸ™‚
                  Problem was, the original b/w Village/Children of the Damned movies set the damned bar too high. πŸ˜›
                  Contrary to the criticisms of The Last Castle and a personal innate aversion to war flicks, it was entertaining enough not to invite any attention or even awareness to its flaws. Redford, despite many directorial flops directed himself rather well here and held the dynamism between the characters to keep the interest and tension alive. Point five of a recommendation. πŸ˜›

                    Is the knee a little better – there are sure to be some nice parks where it can be gently exercised, so much nicer than in house chores. Even a gym – there are a few here that do mainly group sessions as well as play host for the regular junkies, rowing is one I prefer. πŸ™‚

                      Oh my Zsh looks like a really friendly interface for terminal wrox, with the added bonus of batteries included, they say. πŸ™‚
                      Yeah, a spaceship simulator to navigate the wide open parsecs, guess that’s all in NMS – heaps of others around like Universe Sandbox for instance.

                        Received some birthday scratch lottery tickets upon which there was a note saying that either their website or the Android app could scan them for you, revealing the results that way. Good idea so thought, and to save a bunch of nails promptly went about doing so.
                        The durst scan window in the app was maximised, yet did not pick up any of the numbers or bar codes. Upon failure, it recommended a scan back at the website, tiny window, and unsurprisingly, same result. Lighting was not an issue, even post-eventide, so must be something with their OCR processing, who knows. No problems at all with the QR scanner btw.

                          Yes it was, and they included evidence of the battery having been vetted with an attached note entitled “Battery Qualification Test” revision “123”, tabulating Date, Time, Operator IDs, Model, Serial numbers, Voltage and Impedance all signed off. Quite weighty as well, so transit costs may prohibit any return if it turns out to be a dud.

                            Yeah, Scorsese’s yuppie nightmare cycle sounds like a fair addition to the burgeoning hamster wheel backlog over here. πŸ™‚
                            Pretty sure that version of Firecracker showed up on FTA about a year ago, she was good in the action scenes at least.
                            Hope they bring Lawnmower Man to FTA here, anything from a Stephen King story is worth a gander. πŸ™‚
                            Solace is a movie that got squinched by a meagre production schedule it seems. Just a bit more time in revisions and edits, even retakes to get it over the line, as it now stands, the pregnant pauses, bum lines, unexplainable or inconsequential events keep it at C grade. Still, Anthony Hopkins tells a joke. πŸ™‚

                                Yes, seems OK, now have to test the rig on it. πŸ™‚
                                Oh, and beneath the molded pulp packaging was, yes, the clear A3 sized instruction sheet for installation. Compare that to their Battery Cartridge Replacement Guide, being a tiny image that, despite taking a while to load in the browser, is still small enough to obscure the doc id (990-1603V) and date of publication (10/2005) at the top left. Directly under that are listed the model numbers followed by the visual instruction guides for the Back-UPS RS/XS units, which include the one in question here, fortunately.
                                Interestingly, the flip side of the hard-copy document also has a similar set of instructions for other models, for anyone wishing to download the unreadable and non-existent instructions for their legacy UPS’s, good luck with that. πŸ™‚
                                It can serve as a quasi-knowledge resource so long as the search facility is active, otherwise it’s either Google if the pages have been spidered, or trawling thread by vaulting thread in the forlorn hope of locating any trace of treasure!

                                  While searching through Dostips (mentioned previous page) came across this post:

                                  DOS is an old operating system. DISK OPERATING SYSTEM. What you mean is batch is old but in reality as far as scripting languages and shells go it is not even as old as CSH or TCSH or Korn for that matter.

                                  He forgot to mention Thompson on primordial Unix back in ’71. The only recollection of it now is the trusty Abort Retry Fail:
                                  Abort Retry Fail at Wikimedia
                                  Hilarious. In that case, the “Tips” in DosTips isn’t Tips at all, maybe stands for “Taken in Playful Sense” or something between pejorative and playful? It’s kind of existential, help them out please. πŸ˜›

                                      In Windows the only option provided is FAT32, could try an NFTS formatted flash for Recovery, could it be their program would actually query the file system?
                                      No recovery required yet, as everything is fine now, as the deck chairs on the Titanic are all aligned and looking very comfortable. πŸ™‚

                                      Just succumbed the urge to oscillate from the thread regarding the blessed UPS batteries, they have eventually arrived, yay, as there happened to a bit of a hold-up. So was prompted at receipt of delivery to submit a review to Google, which was done, and as it has turned out, now showing at Google Maps.

                                        Wait, was she a pedestrian when hit? How horrible, did they catch the perp and will there be any compensation due?
                                        Sure that’s fine, personally find exploration quite taxing – even if it’s just on a computer screen. Are they still updating NMS?

                                          Looking at the layout through the tablet, everything amazingly fits. The extract text in the Walrus categories is a little hard to see, that’s all. πŸ™‚

                                            They still don’t trust poor old Audacity. Go this email:

                                            Severity: ● Informational
                                            Time: 8/26/2024 12:45:00 AM (UTC)
                                            Activity: Entry will be removed from the Tenant Allow/Block List
                                            User: SecurityComplianceEvent
                                            Details: Mail from [no*****@au**********.org] will no longer be automatically allowed starting on 8/29/2024. To extend the expiration date for the allow entry, go to the Tenant Allow/Block List.

                                            You’d think it’s easy to extend, well nothing much to twiddle in the Allow/Block list, could be the admin level of account. This guy says

                                            Because block list entries (in general) cannot be updated, to amend the expiration date it’s necessary to remove the existing block list entry and replace it with a new version that has an expiration date of 90 days in the future (the maximum).

                                            Means having to wait for another email from Audacity, then re-submitting. πŸ™
