      Yeah, might be worth a poke in the forums, the changelog hasn’t been updated in years either.
      There is a johnjamesjacoby on trac seemingly responsible to commits on recent minor releases, doesn’t look like he frequents the forums much, thus potentially favouring a response to ticketed enquiries at trac, who knows?

        Kuiper belts on sale for extra comfort, if taking a companion pet along the journey, we recommend Pluto!

          That’s fine, let our designer fancies run amok – even if they end up running a muck. 😀
          We have to make a decision about the categories though, do we want them, if so, and how can they be used to enhance navigability, otherwise can they be ditched altogether?
          However, the welcome category is used in Writing,

          Perhaps a name change is possible – Walrus anyone?

            Sorry, only thing done was to remove the static pages, so the front/home page is just the one with the latest post.
            This layout uses the front page template, so that’s the one itching for a fiddle, noting the editor replaces the author avatar with robohash courtesy of our old friends from gravatar. 😛
            This means we can forget about pages in this instance, as there’s only one page with posts including this stickied one. In fact this and this can be removed from pages altogether for housekeeping. 🙂

              Pretty nifty if it charges up without a dock, but from the air alone, making it truly “wireless.” 😛
              Yeah, still using the Stupid Factory mousemat, for which the NIP number in the description might suggest the item hails from around 2003, enough to warrant a candidate relic at least. 😛
              Wow, up to ten years of use out of the Ecoflow makes it very desirable, and excellent relic potential for tomorrow and beyond, she’ll love it! 🙂
              Ordered the battery for the APC Back-UPS RS 900G mentioned a couple of posts back, hope it works as the UPS itself was discontinued last year, making it a relatively recent relic.
              Some local resellers offer cheaper batteries like this, maintaining they are compatible with the original, funny thing is, they differ visually, the installed battery is a side-by-side pair, and if they offer singles only, the purchase of two would cost more in any case.

                Have they changed the scaling for Pizza Planet, the only one available here is the original, which, as you know has a rather strong resemblance to the one at Tomorrowland.
                Don’t have the A/C on every day then? Over here on hot summer days, it gets tuned on from around 2pm to 6pm, really does make a difference in the evening.
                The Soga trollies purchased a couple of years back (MS Teams has the saga of the transaction) are doing fine, however the screws do loosen from usage, so having to tighten them all up again is an unexpected ordeal.
                David Wengrow was on a replayed chat show the other day outlining The Dawn of Everything, very engaging, and a book worth reading.
                It’s about time these scam camps have to be brought to account, hard to believe some folks get to be so rotten in their dealings with others.

                  It may be able to choose in which direction to send out solar flares or coronal mass ejections.

                  The same argument might apply to earth and other planets, where to place those unruly hotspots for best results in achieving mayhem (ahem) peace on earth! 😛

                    Have to explore Tubi again.
                    Never knew Stephen King tried his hand at directing, bad luck with an Italian crew, should have just stuck with fixing the script though.
                    The idea of Mansion of the Doomed could have been extended to animals, a real hoot if the vision was restored with the eyes of a regular barn owl, for instance.
                    Yeah, those kinds of movies can be scary too, especially when your favourite comic actor turns out to be a spookaloo psycho. 😛
                    The lead in the Disaster Artist carried around with him an aura of irritation, which adds weight to the journey of the film. Things pick up towards the end though, which transforms the arduous exercise into uproarious hilarity.
                    Found Snatch rather entertaining with lively one-liners and nicely paced changes. An all star cast endows it with a feel good crowd pleaser vibe in such a way the blend and interactive mix of characters comes out with a streak of bland. The director knows it, but doesn’t care, thus we don’t either. 😛

                      Are they going to be taking sides re election? Probably not a good idea, although ultimately it ends up as or the other, or nothing. Somewhat of a Hobsons choice really. 🙂
                      For the Nature eds, the old format is best: keep the main articles free of politicians, and have a user feed banging section at the end, just before the comics, so no-one leaves with hacked off taste buds.

                        Logged in there today, all looks fine, weird how they have “Loading transfer data…”” which times out, and re-appears if the url box at top is just clicked on (no refresh). Edge here, same in Chrome?

                          Doesn’t sound good at all, might be worth running it by the doctor, a scan wouldn’t harm.

                            This explains it: hunt for ratings = runt for hatings!
                            Yeah, stay in there, and, as someone should have said: may any coming distractions be worth the while!
                            Sorry, been out of the loop a little as per RL on farm, and of late digging up personal info on the OAP rollover coming up in August. It’s very time consuming. 🙁

                              Can’t connect through the browser, gone from Windows, and unreachable on ping in Terminal today, funny, because in the router diagnostics the ping and trace route succeed for IPV4, fail for IPV6.
                              First time it’s happened, will check the unit tomorrow. 🙁
                              Edit: Hope it isn’t this. :P’
                              Edit2: Powered off as the UPS it’s connected to has no lights, so now we have to determine whether it’s the batteries, UPS, or both. Gave the dust coated artifact a zhuzh up as well. 🙂

                                Classic takes, forgot all about Agatha Clouseau’s inspired script. 😀
                                Right now, streaming Screw, a series based on the comings and goings of staff in a UK prison. In one episode, the head of the wing decides to install an amnesty box for the prisoners to voluntarily relinquish various items of contraband:
                                Picture of an amnesty box
                                Nothing too hilarious there, until one of the inmates adjusts the sign on the box: AMNASTY.

                                  WP has barfed the urls again, those links are interesting though, especially the colour text on the MTG site.
                                  For hardcore PHP TCG integration there’s Energy Search, the site and creator have moved on it seems, could be fun getting it to run with the latest. Is VS any good for plugin development?

                                    Great, well now, we all will know to take backups before upgrades of various flavours – firmware, infirmware, brainrackware. 😛
                                    The last two apply here as a result of not going to specsavers (not in your country though). Thought the second DP was an HDMI, no wonder it didn’t fit, and the second screen on the TV works of course! 🙂
                                    Tried out the new HDR test with this on the new (non HDR) monitor, three errors in the optional passes, everything else seemed clear. No report though, so requested one.
                                    The specs for the rig at HP are nicely presented, not much on the mobo or components thereof, score from Geekbench.

                                      It’s got AVR, which doesn’t help, the new downstairs PC works fine on it, will investigate further.
                                      The old monitors here don’t have DP ports unfortunately, the good news is the Alogic DP => DVI adapter worked, so the VS248h can be used as a fallback monitor. 🙂
                                      Definitely, watch for dust though if there is no cover, the drive on the old Palsonic tftv6650LED (in storage) packed up when a disk got stuck inside. It’s still there. 🙁

                                        Absolutely, a blog post for design too, there’s even a subreddit for it:
                                        https://www.reddit.com/r/tcgdesign/
                                        What does this mean, on their getting started section:

                                        To access the TCGplayer.com REST API, you must have:

                                        1. An API Developer Key

                                        We are no longer granting new API access at this time. Existing users must adhere to the terms of service that govern the use of our API, including, but not limited to important restrictions and attributions required by you.

                                        Can we request a stay of leniency?

                                          Yep, let’s move right out of static pages and into a blog landing/front page. We can still have the links up top, and the welcome post as a stickie:

                                          How the other blog posts are to be indexed is for later, an interesting option is now Disqus, as it will now (allegedly) work for comments. 🙂
