      The bubble notifications to MWEdit had grown to 41, and as that thread hadn’t been updated for a while, the notifications count was being stacked with notifications from other threads as it were.
      A solution was to purge the cache, delete all notifications on the user profile, go directly into Buddy Admin and disable notifications, purge cache again, re-enable notifications and they’re gone. For now at least. 🙂

        That’s using a new gui for the function, a much better idea than attempting to navigate Microsoft window acrobatics with their own software. 🙂
        Yeah, the disk floggings will continue unabated!
        That’s a shame, but, well it’s been a long haul. Still use it through Wrye Bash for this iteration of Oblivion, will the archived version still work with the last masterlist?
        Have you come across DxWnd – the idea of time stretching appeals. At the end of the comments there pops up our old compadre Hexaae, remember him? There was a big bust up at AFKMods back in 2013/14 when he departed in a huff, but now he has just returned to modding Oblivion Remastered. Well worth a look at some time. 🙂

          Yeah Corman’s The Masque of the Red Death is also worth a gander.
          The ending in Calvary is disturbing, the motivations of the antagonist (IT Crowd’s O’ Dowd) just don’t add up, setting the movie off on a rather lop-sided course. The recipe of character types doesn’t really mix in well with the screenplay, yet it’s watchable given a bent towards the genre.
          The twists and convolutions at the end of The Prestige didn’t agree with what had transpired, or no doubt something was missed from this viewpoint. A little heavy on story line elaborations, and something about the rhythm and delivery was off. And not enough Michael Caine!
          Offered through the state channel’s website Long Weekend is an odd affair. It’s possible I’m the only one who has seen it within the last ten years. 😛
          The channel also provides the screening of Irresistible, the bum RT ratings possibly due to a rather undigestible mix of morality and horror. A bit churned out, but the jumpy music and one or two good startles made it watchable. 🙂

            There’s also cropped up a recent issue (#2) with sndvol not going where it is supposed to.
            Credentials stolen from an employee caused a breach at iiNet, good thing the account with them (and ozemail) was closed I guess. Everybody hurts om these cases, massive mailouts and a bunch of most likely pwned email addresses (like one of mine has been for years). 😛

              Absolutely, it links onto others as well, the Abstract Bronze Seated Figure is striking.
              Good idea for our own gardens is something like the Oversized Paint Tube Garden Installation or the Wheelbarrow Farmer Sculpture. Equipped with defence mechanisms in case passersby become abusive. 😛
              The Lamp Post with an Umbrella idea has excellent practical purposes for rain, sunshine and dark, the Book-Shaped Benches may not accommodate for every posture though.
              No doubt Google Maps et al have all these marked as features of interest, extending the license on the descriptions to Galoshopoodle, Oarsome Highrise, The Building that won’t Zip Up etc.

                Was thinking about the the CS, and CK where there’s a good 3D view on the terrain from any angle just about. 🙂
                Don’t think I’ve attempted anything like a 500gb download, ever. They would have to split it wouldn’t they?
                Another pat on the back for another Tripeaks trophy:
                TriPeaks Adventure Win
                Funny, as the game froze early on and consequently lost around 1:20 – which might have been significant if LULU5796 had a better line of focus. Mind you, this is a fairly ordinary score, most of the speedy Gonzalezes come in at the late thirties – even early thirties for the challenge. There is yet some ground to cover!

                  Try The Jacket in Tubi, good cast including Craig, best to watch it without a clue of what it’s going to be about.
                  Same with Hard Eight really, it starts beautifully until the first shock, from which the film itself doesn’t quite recover.
                  I, Robot popped up again on FTA, the previous viewing had to be more than ten years so a recap was due. Rather surprised at the low RT rating, one gripe was the wooden acting. Well, not an issue here with Will Smith in fine fettle, providing more than enough pace and tension to compensate. And – er – what’s the issue with mechanical acting in a movie about robots? And a plotline made too intricate may detract from the point of the movie in any case. OTOH, it’s fair to say a rerun of the movie won’t be undertaken until most of the details have (again) left memory. 🙂
                  Quantum of Solace is fairly standard Bond fare, the upside is the action scenes play at warp speed. 🙂

                    The War of the Worlds radio broadcast was a hoot! 🙂
                    You want the side-on section as opposed the top-down?
                    Have you checked out arcGIS, although things probably won’t work all that well without an account/subscription, same with Intermap
                    There’s also this elevation model, Tangrams looks interesting, but couldn’t extract much detail from the zoomed sections. Sorry not much else, this or this may contain something useful.
                    The Give Yourself Goosebumps series had branching endings in different parts of the book, funny it was never tried before – or was it?

                      One giant leap for a cone – and 1.5 tonnes would make for some serious vibrations!
                      Strange happenings described as resulting from no other than a psychogenic effect. The spelling of busses led onto Mrs. Steven’s Classroom Blog. 😛

                        Just FTR Stearnvault has passed, only just though with 55/100 – according to sitechecker. The criticals:

                        Description check: Description tag not found
                        Trailing slash: Both URL versions (with a slash and with no slash at the end) work and return the same content
                        HTTP & HTTPS: There is no redirect from HTTP to HTTPS. Both protocols work and return the same content.
                        WWW and non-WWW: WWW and non-WWW work as separate websites

                        No doubt it’s the parting of coin for a more verbose and perhaps even an empathetic description of the bloopers. 🙂

                          Only For the home cinema then? In that case models for larger auditoriums and theatres were to be massive in the least, and concerns for anything glass in structure will be loudly voiced. And forget about the champagne! 😛
                          How are things going in your local government – over here there is quite a calling for the Golden Turd, and last year’s winner is the council just north of here. 😛

                            That DPP list was once a faint memory – good thing it’s all over now. The Evil Dead was also dropped, but still banned in some countries. Have you seen Inseminoid – should be given an A rating on the terrific name alone!
                            FTA are playing the complete Bond – a couple missed – or forgotten were A View to a Kill and The Living Daylights. Timothy Dalton seemed to be a better fit for the role than previous. Wasn’t aware the original Casino Royale was in the Non-Eon section – well there you go.
                            Although Patience can turn out to be an acquired taste for some – here it’s hooked and looking forward to the second series. 🙂

                              The back of the truck would twitch a few nostrils. 😛 Great idea with the P65 warnings – is that passed on by the manufacturers I wonder?

                                Definitely a while as each episode is 24 minutes long, AI tells us more than 5.5 days of continuous viewing!
                                Revenge was on Tubi, could have seen bits of it before on FTA, not hot on the dialogue but great if learning French. The critics thought it was a bit “tropy”, thought so here as well. Nice, but a single viewing was enough.
                                Saw The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith for the first time on the State streaming service. Bruce Smeaton’s music was fabulous, more for an epic war flick than for poor old Jimmie. The hard edges of the events in the novelwere smoothly burred over in the film, to such a degree the whys and wherefores of Jimmies downfall came over as a bit unrealistic.
                                Completed the solitary series of Prime Suspect 1973, bad luck about the follow ups not happening.

                                  The testing of the die rolling has some interesting suggestions in the video. 🙂
                                  Agreed, the main issues with the walkways would be upkeep and vandalism, neanderpoids breaking stuff to prove a point which isn’t lost on the rest of us. 🙁

                                    🙁 What I’d do is have a chat (preferably face to face) with someone at HoA as it sounds like the crew are being specifically asked to do it. Try to investigate the reasoning for such an action, and why so soon.
                                    Some good ideas there. Do have barriers, obviously nowhere nearly good enough. The human hair idea isn’t bad either in an area sheltered from dry winds, especially as hair takes so long to biodegrade. The barbers here may be coaxed with a small sum of money for collection … hmmm. 🙂

                                      btw the real teaser in the A Boy and His Dog is the dog gone AWOL (taken prisoner) in the middle of the movie without later clues or mentions until he turns up all of a sudden. The re-appearance was a great relief!
                                      Do recall seeing Interstellar some time back on FTA, an awesome movie of epic length.
                                      Absolutely convinced Smile was broadcast on FTA some time ago, couldn’t have been too long as it was only released in 2022. The scary sequences are constructed with considerable imagination!
                                      Could find anything too out of place with Money_Monster except for the strongly expressed opinion of the scam victim’s female partner. The title should have also been Money Monsters as we all should know and expect – but kept singular after Mammon.
                                      Little Disasters is an intriguing piece. 🙂

                                        Yes, the hospital white version also has its charms – pretty much out of stock over here though. Have you used any of their other models?
                                        Here’s an interesting read for short story lovers, Cosmicomics, on the list for the coffe table here. His Invisible Cities leads on to more contemporary works as Ghost Cities which of course brings in to play the ghost cities of China. Places for lovers of solitude! 🙂

Losing money, apparently as the margins could not compete with costs. A great pity as it was setup well for operation in recent times, 17 years in its current location, after 23 in the previous.

                                            The differing number of items in each array element definitely has to be checked so the functions using them have the right fields. if they check out, doesn’t harm to add a NULL to the end of each of the following 5 items.
                                            The Return 0 looks like a booboo left from a debug, yeah it’ll want to be checked for sure. 🙂
