    This will probably be worth waiting until the move to determine but do we know what the RAM and CPU allocation for the site will be? It’ll help us determine how many and what kind of plugins we can install without running into issues.

    But they still need to worry about getting punched in the face! Most uncomfortable! 😛

    Superheroes seem to cause a lot of collateral damage, even when they’re just combatting the forces of nature 😛

    I remember getting a card for free game time, I think it was for three months, with a computer of mine twenty years ago for the second game. Never used it for some reason, even though I did try WoW (wasn’t my cup of tea: too much grinding). I’m really surprised that they’re both still online. They definitely don’t do a whole lot of advertising so it makes me wonder how people find out about the games.

    Speaking of games, I’m still trying to determine what I like now. Been so long that I’m not really sure what kinds of games interest me. 😛

    If the bag is pure plastic, then it can usually be dropped off at a grocery store. I always wash out the recyclables with soap and water first to reduce contamination at the plant.

    Old fashioned candy stores can be fun! We don’t have any where I live but other cities in the state do. Really brings a feal of nostalgia!

    😀 Have you thought about setting up a dog bed for him there? He sure seems to enjoy that spot!

    I really should watch Flash Gordon again. It’s a lot of fun!

    Making progress. Slow but the research is going well. Just having a bit of a difficult time transitioning back into work mode is all.

    The Serial class lets us pass the port name to the constructor that we want to connect to. In order to find it, we’ll need to check it against the device’s identifier. I haven’t found a table yet for the IDs but there should be one somewhere.

    Additionally, it may make more sense to start out with the Wi-Fi module as this process will probably different. Something to think about!

    Long term, we’ll want to come up a long-range way of communication. RF is the obvious choice but that’s always rife with issues such as interference.

    Sounds good. 🙂

    I’m kind of waiting for the BuddyPress update to land before I start playing around with groups as the next major version changes some of the permissions so things may work differently in a few weeks

    Three of them and what I did was use the daisy-chaining feature of DisplayPort to clean up the mess of cables. Nice and tidy! 🙂

    Yep, that’s the one!

    in reply to: Random #1126

    Huh, looks like EverQuest is still online. Don’t know why I thought of it last night as I never did play it

    in reply to: Hardware Relics #1125

    Weird. I can understand keyboards doing that if they’re a membrane but a mouse shouldn’t be affected unless it’s got a pad under the button!

    Yep. I get the lights overhead flickering if I also run the microwave! 😛

    One laptop has W10 and cannot be upgraded to 11 for being too old while the other one is currently on W11. I haven’t had the chance to check the video ports since the new monitor was setup but will do so! The newest laptop may only support USB-C monitors, I’d need to check. The new monitor doesn’t use it and likes DisplayPort for access to all of its features. 🙂

    in reply to: Gramps #1123

    The biggest change to Gramps on *nix has to do with the paths. For user files, you’ll find them in ~/.gramps. Additionally, you can change the database type in settings (don’t know if it’s the same in Windows).

    Everything else, as near as I can tell, should be the same as on Windows other than a few UI differences to account for differences in platform features.

    Sorry that it took so long!

    in reply to: Random #1122

    There we go! Always found it useful!

    Cool! Never tried a horror game before but it does look like a good concept. I do have some horror games I got for free, I really should give them a whirl!

    It’s never a good idea to live in a town with superheroes. The insurance premiums, disruption, and constant property damage would not be fun at all, especially on a daily basis!

    in reply to: Hardware Relics #1120

    Things working any better?

    in reply to: Random #1117

    It’s on the list! Going to wait for a sale, though. 🙂

    I do quite enjoy the freedom of NMS and how it doesn’t have a story or anything. It does have rudimentary quests but they’re mostly designed to introduce you to the game elements. It’s not exactly an RPG, mostly a survival and space exploration game 🙂

    Probably not. Now, Discworld would make a fun anime series. Surprised they haven’t done an adaption yet!

    Strange! I wonder if some of the fumes have neutralized the odor?

    Yay! He is missing many of the older ones from the pre-Geforce days. They may have been removed by the original author, though. I lost track of the site around 2013 :/

    In particular, his article analyzing the visual effects various graphical settings had were quite beneficial!

    in reply to: Samsung Tablets #1116

    Rooting does give you more access to the underlying Linux system and lets you do things you wouldn’t otherwise be able to do, such as interface with your computer. It’s mostly for tinkerers and not all devices are easily rootable. In order to continue to update the software, you’ll need to unlock the bootloader and then install a custom ROM which will wipe the system. I’m not sure if that requires rooting or not, though.

    Yeah, e-waste is a big problem. Fortunately, there are recycling programs that exist (not too widespread, sadly). Generally, it’s recommended to contact the manufacturer to see what their recycling recommendations are. Often, you need to send them off somewhere which isn’t always practical.

    It’s best to keep the old device online until you transfer all the credentials over. Newer devices do have a data transfer tool that will copy most things over but you’ll still need to set up some of the accounts afterwards 🙂

    Air handler is fixed. The original installation people didn’t do it properly and left the cap on the emergency shutoff valve. /sigh

    in reply to: Plugins #1112

    Could be useful! He also has a lot of other plugins that look beneficial, it may be worth considering some of them at some point 🙂

    in reply to: Films & TV Shows #1111

    Yep, I highly recommend it if you’re up for something campy!

    Haven’t seen it myself but I have been wanting to see it for a while. It is somewhat famous, though, for slapping a ton of makeup on Tim Curry!

    Could be!

    Haven’t had much chance to watch much lately with everything going on but I am enjoying Midsomer Murders. 🙂

    Oh, yes, amazing music!

    So I read the first book in the Wheel of Time series and it wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. I found it way too similar to Lord of the Rings for my tastes. The plot was almost a carbon copy without all the fantasy creatures so it didn’t really feel all that original.

    in reply to: Items/Content Per Page #1107

    Sounds good 🙂

    Yeah, the snippets will be wiped each time we update the theme but the plugin he linked may be a good option. We had some other customizations we were looking at, too, so it may be handy to install assuming it won’t be much of a security risk. Will take a look at it! 🙂

    in reply to: Items/Content Per Page #1104

    Sounds good! 🙂

    Certainly! Feel free! 🙂

    in reply to: Comings, Goings, Doings #1101

    Yeah, I’ve been through them before. They’re not fun! We once got stuck in a hurricane while camping once because the organizers didn’t check the weather report. Not exactly a fun experience… 😛

    Yep, battery powered. It came from my grandfather’s and needed a new battery, which I got a week ago for it. Good timing! 🙂

    Need to rest from the excitement for a couple of days but I’ll try to catch up on all of the posts in the meantime. Sorry about leaving some of them this long!
