Spastic Hamburger

Sorry, for some reason I thought you were trying to work with VGA – digital. Not sure how I got that out of there….

Yeah, used to happen with our cassette player and, less frequently, with the VCR. Had to take a knife and pry them open. Was never a good thing when that happened :/

Yep. We were unable to determine what was wrong with Linux so I had to reinstall it. Spent much of yesterday setting things back up (always been a bit slow with configuring software) so we should be able to rock and roll again in a few days 🙂

Is HDMI 2.1 not backwards compatible with 2.0?

Watched Maximum Overdrive and it was so bad that it was hilarious. Too many things to list about it but it opens to people sliding off a bridge (Wheeeee!) and slipping on watermelons like banana peels. Definitely worth watching! 😀

Finished up with support a few weeks ago. The only thing left was to restore the Windows bootloader, which went without a hitch. Just didn’t have time to do it before yesterday morning. Now I can go back and finish configuring everything again. 🙂

No surprise that the motherboard is proprietary. Do wish they’d use more standard parts, though, for…[Read more]

That was…surprisingly painless. Booted installation USB which sent me to the Install Windows area. At first, I was a bit confused. Thought it would give me a menu to select Install, Repair, etc. Hit Shift + F10 as instructed and that brought up a system command prompt. Tracked down the system drive letter with
diskpart
list volume
exit

Since the banning of Baronne a couple of months ago, I’ve been attempting to determine how else to protect me against the effects of Nibiru (will add in links later) as Blackwings are especially vulnerable to its effects, save for Full Armor Master.

Sales Ban is a good option and cheap. As discussed above, if I open with it I can stop the card in…[Read more]

Looks like Microsoft is beginning to deprecate VBScript. Out of curiosity, is there another language that can be used for “extensions” on Windows?

Does the UPS include a voltage regulator? Some of them do and that may help to some degree.

One of these may be helpful. Oftentimes, there are fewer issues when using analog – analog and digital – digital. Granted, I never had an issue with VGA – DVI in the past but that was ~2005 or so.

I do like that TV’s built-in DVD drive. Looks quite handy!…[Read more]

And got Seed of Chucky lined up for this weekend. 🙂

Going to plan to watch The Brain that wouldn’t Die again soon, too. That should be fun!

Turns out that Tubi has Classic Who in their library. Could be fun to watch the old ones! I do miss British comedies. PBS used to show them on weekend nights but stopped doing that about ten years ago. They…[Read more]

Attack of the 50 Foot Woman has been watched again. Just as much fun as last time! 😀

And Bride of Chucky has been watched. Absolutely hilarious. 😛

Yeah, just a basic syrup. The recipe said to stack the layers and then pour. It may work better to do the first layer, stack, then pour again.

Cool! Wasn’t aware she had a site. Good to know! And an updated version of the book is on the way. Awesome 🙂

Made a basic goat curry out of it with carrots, green peppers, and rice. Nothing fancy but it…[Read more]

Yep, you should make a pizza in it!

I do have a pizza stone but have never used it for pizza. I’ve only ever used it for bread 😛

Yep! The branch said everything must go so I took them at their word and got the sign 😀 Awesome! These days, most places are using LED imitation lights. I don’t think they look as cool and they lack the sound of the…[Read more]

Wasn’t aware that Nightmare Alley had an older version. Will definitely add it to the list. Been meaning to see the newer one, just haven’t gotten to it yet.

Watched Child’s Play 2 and 3 the other day. The second film was a lot of fun with Chucky taking revenge on Andy. 3, though, wasn’t that good. Most of the film focused on Andy’s plight in…[Read more]

Found a source! Our small, locally owned grocery store carries it! 🙂

I still see DOS used from time to time powering the checkout lanes at a store. Getting to be relatively rare when it wasn’t too long ago that I saw it everywhere (ten years). Saw it recently, too. Think it was last year sometime? Not sure where, didn’t think to make a note of it

Batch files are still very useful for performing repetitive tasks.…[Read more]

Saw The Crawlers yesterday and that was fun for its absurdity. In the beginning, they have a kid playing with a model of Aubrey II, which was cool. The final battle against the trees was pretty silly. One character uses an ax on a root only to leave it and everyone to get strangled. No one else picks it up. Take it with you! Seriously 😛

Will do!

And let’s not forget Surf Nazis Must Die! Sure, their films are pretty bad but that’s part of their charm! The thing is, they know they’re bad and run with it. They’re a lot of fun! 😀

Haven’t seen any of those yet. Murray can be good in semi-dramatic rolls, such as in Scrooged. Granted, he’s not in many though.

Looks like we lost…[Read more]

Yeah, work continues today on it but they called it “complete” twenty years ago. I remember my grandfather sent off a sample as part of the project. How can it be complete if they’re still analyzing it?

Sounds like something out of The Raven. 😛 I like calzone. Around here, they tend to fill it with a fluffy cheese making it taste very light.…[Read more]

And one of the characters from the book is a Time Lord himself. The book is pretty fun!

Not sure on the comic but will look! I still haven’t seen the Body Snatchers even though it’s been on the actual watchlist for years (not sure which version). I really need to change that 🙁

Will check it out! Been a while since I’ve watched some of the old…[Read more]

Great, thanks. I have an installation USB from where I installed Windows last year. Will that suffice or should I pick up another USB drive?

Thanks, will take a look! I was able to boot Linux without a working bootloader when I initially installed Windows from going directly to the UEFI so it may already be done but will look! 🙂
