We need some humor after the last month of issues! Why did the surf board run away? It saw the irony of the situation 😛
Nope, not silent! And in color, too!
Alice was a combination of both books but mostly the first one. It was really fun! Of course, my mom has always hated it as she never thought that it made any sense 😛
I bring you the Mad Tea Party segment:

😀
Sorry, I couldn’t find a full clip on YouTube of the scene 🙁
Saw The New York Ripper the other day and, while pretty graphic, it was really good. Unlike most slashers, it had a really deep and well constructed plot.
Lasers! The base stations emit a laser beam on a motor and the headset uses it for positioning. A lot of other headsets use cameras, which are cheaper but don’t have the same kind of accuracy (and can’t be used in the dark). 🙂 The accuracy is much better since I elevated them by mounting them on the wall, which is nice 🙂
Yuck! You’re not using a CRT screen by any chance, are you? Could also be a bad video cable. My HDMI cable on the TV went out a few years back at the same time as the receiver died (was a pain to diagnose as I wasn’t expecting both to die at once) and it caused a green screen as a result (when it’d even show anything thanks to the kaput receiver).
I need to check the wiring on my computer speakers. They started popping a week or so ago only when I turn them on and are now barely emitting any sound. Hopefully it’s just the wiring but I haven’t gotten around to troubleshooting yet.
Mine are usually retail versions as I like to order from Microsoft directly just to make sure I’m getting a legitimate copy. That and I like installing the OS myself to make sure everything is set up the way I like it since I like running several operating systems. 🙂
Yeah, it’s been very wet this week and is supposed to drop to 37F next week. Fortunately, I like the cold weather 😛
Finally got around to watching Snow White even though it’s almost 100 years old. I’m late! 😛
Anyways! It was rather odd. They made the faces of the two main characters a lot less detailed than any of the secondary ones. Wasn’t much my cup of tea but I also watched the 1951 version of Alice in Wonderland again, which is right up my alley. 🙂
She broke so many property laws! Destruction of property, breaking and entering (and exiting), trespassing, and theft (why she’d steal and eat/drink stuff without thinking is beyond me).
The Mad Tea Party was the best part 😀
Just generally upgrading my surge protection around the home and adding in extra outlets for the VR base stations. I had quite a few outlets that I use frequently that not only didn’t have surge protection but didn’t have enough places to plug things in so I was constantly juggling plugs as I needed them 🙂
I usually get the model that handles up to 4000 J while the one they sent me is the 4150 J model (difference is only a couple of USD). Minor upgrade but nice all the same 🙂
Yeah, I am very sensitive to noise so I can’t run the fans as often as they need to be run here. Fortunately, we just had some cold weather move in so that’s helping some!
Yay! We’re back! Just wanted to get a post in! 😛
Ordered another surge protector the other day and they sent me the upgraded model instead of the one I had ordered but I’m not complaining!
Lovely! Been wondering where that music was from!
Here’s an old classic:
Been reading up online about cleaning up electrical contacts for my workshop’s toolkit and it sounds like DeOxIt is a well regarded go-to for reviving old electricals.
Still need to order some more tools and tool storage but I’ll get there!
Demonic Toys was fun if you like them silly and bad. 😛
Ah, okay. I’ve been playing a lot of No Man’s Sky the past couple of weeks. Been working on building out the power grid for my starter base. Once I get everything unlocked, I’ll make one on a nice lush planet I have access to. Of course, it’ll take a lot of asteroid mining to get the gold I need for the solar arrays 😛
Sounds good 🙂
It’d be nice to get some images together for our playthroughs but those would take up a lot of space!
Ugh! Have you tried lossless compression? Not sure which formats YouTube takes, though. I know little about video files. :/
Yeah, upload speeds are historically pretty low. I think the logic is that home users shouldn’t need to upload a lot of large files unless they’re working. In which case, the providers would rather you get on a more expensive business plan. At least, I think that’s why it’s like that. Just making assumptions, though 😛
Anymore updates? 🙂
Sorry, all of these outages have really thrown me off!
I did try zooming in but I still had a bit of a hard time figuring out some bits. Will take another look! 🙂
Yikes! Hopefully it’s an easy fix! Always liked the design of their appliances. Really like the retro look 🙂
Cool!
Yeah, ADHD can be tough on you!
Got all the surge protectors mounted on the wall now! Much tidier! 😀
Cool! Good thing the Spongebob universe avoided them. Who knows how that would have worked out otherwise 😛
I think part of it is that it needs to start all the drivers and things. All my systems have started off at 100% fan speed until everything is fully loaded, for example. I know there’s a bug in Windows that’s existed forever where it sometimes doesn’t initialize the Internet connection and requires a reboot. Large hosts files can definitely slow things down.
Haven’t been able to watch much on demand lately due to the Internet issues over here so I’ve been catching the horror marathons OTA like they do every year. Caught a lot of the classic Dracula films, The Day the Earth Stood Still, among others 😀
Poltergeist has been on the list!
Speaking of mirror scenes in horror films, I need to rewatch Casper. That was fun!
You could also use something like a sheetpan. Any large piece of metal will work! But, yes, it’ll look weird unless it’s in the kitchen 😛
Microwaves are good for a lot of things! 😀
Weird. Usually, that information is stored in RAM as opposed to ROM
For the buzzing, I included some tips in the other thread that may help 🙂
No idea on the network share but have you tried removing the networked device and then readding it? Maybe it’ll clear some cobwebs out. I have to do that with my printer every now and then for Windows to properly pick it up
I haven’t seen a power button on a keyboard in years. Do they still put them on the keyboards? Last one I had with the button on it was an old Mac from the early 90’s/late 80’s.
For the EMF interference, you can try putting some aluminum foil on the side of the case facing the radio. That’ll create an RF shield and may help some. If not, you can always use the foil in the oven 🙂
For the amp here, I had some buzzing coming in from it to the speakers that I fixed by buying some shielded caps for the RCA jacks.
Awesome! We’ll need to get some of those sounds added! 😀
Looking over their page there, it sounds like that’s for their business customers but it’s not entirely clear. Yeah, it’s starting to sound like the UPS is on its last legs. 🙁
I think it serves as a counter for the blacklist but I’m not entirely sure.
Yep, selective site clearing would be quite handy. 🙂
Will need to see if I can get it! British series are rather hard to tune in to here. 🙁
Saw Dolls yesterday and that was a lot of fun. Wasn’t the same level as Puppet Master but still worth it 🙂
