ROTOR, Turkey Shoot, and Brainscan were all fun if you enjoy B-movies

We did lose a few trees so I guess the wind was worse than I thought. Sadly, I doubt the HoA is going to replace them. They’ve stopped planting trees where they’re needed. They’re not really environmentally savvy and are bickering amongst themselves about silly things.

[Spastic Hamburger]

And we’re back! Wind wasn’t too bad but we did have a limb fall on the main line behind me and they just got us back up. The lines in my neighborhood are underground. Really wish they’d do that for the rest of the town. Plugging everything back up now. Glad I took the precaution 🙂

Crumpets. It went east. Time to batten down the hatches and cook up all of my eggs. /sigh

I’ll be unplugging everything in a few minutes so email will be the best way to get ahold of me until I get everything back online tomorrow

Alright, got it published. Figured I should get it up before the storm in case we get any hits. Interestingly, we can make a post private or even password protected. Not sure why we’d do that for a blog post. I can see it being useful for pages, though.

Could be some driver bugs. I know the ones Microsoft ships are sometimes hit or miss. Have you tried downloading any updated ones from HP or the component manufacturers? You also may want to check the monitor manufacturer’s site. Granted, monitors are usually fine with the generic one shipped with Windows

[Spastic Hamburger]

Sounds good 🙂

Get them sometimes on mobile but not often. When I do get them, they cause a lot of lag

Will hit the publish button soon!

Yeah, it’s a shame we were never able to get it working 🙁

Will take another look at the thread after the storm. Going to be a bit busy prepping until I get up Friday. Fortunately, it’s supposed to only be around for a couple of hours Thursday night and be gone shortly after midnight so we’ll be asleep when it comes through 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

We do but the surgeon said no swimming for a few more months. Hopefully soon!

Yeah, I’m debating about unplugging everything this go around. It’s a big hassle to get everything but it does make things safer. Ultimately, I’ll need to replace the motherboard battery sooner rather than later on account of our storms. Eventually, I should probably upgrade to a non-sacrificial surge protector. They’re expensive, though. 🙁

They’re still uncertain what the storm is doing. They’re saying possibility of 60 – 75 MPH winds depending on where it goes. Hopefully it veers west! I’ll make a decision before I go to bed tomorrow night

I really need to move somewhere where I don’t need to constantly worry about hurricanes….

Cool! Really wish we could get similar experiences here in Florida. Disney and Universal need to take note!

Right now, they’re pretty general. You can catch sharks, mud crabs (but not giant mud crabs), eels and the like. Interestingly, you can catch the same ones everywhere in the Universe but there are ones specific to planet types such as fish that can only be caught on very hot planets. Really hope it gets expansion in the future as it’s a great concept.

Never heard of it either! Jack definitely seemed to have lived an interesting life before passing

Been planning to add the background to it. Really need to revisit it now that I’m getting more comfortable with CSS again. It’s on the list!

Yeah, I’m not seeing a setting for link behavior outside of the forums. Seems like a basic thing that’s missing.

In the meantime, is it ready to hit publish?

Got a possible storm coming tomorrow night. The prediction so far is only for 35 MPH winds, which isn’t bad, but it’s still something to keep an eye on.

[Spastic Hamburger]

Great! Any idea what the issue was?

[Spastic Hamburger]

Yeah, I always wear earmuffs when using the mixer. It gets loud! Especially when I’m whipping up egg whites or cream. Ten minutes of that is pure torture!

In theory, one could make an in-wall mixer. Would be much quieter and would like quite nice. Wonder why nobody has taken the plunge yet?

😀

Haven’t made pumpernickel yet. Probably should at some point since I quite like it!

In the mood for making something a little bit more adventurous. Any ideas?

[Spastic Hamburger]

We can’t have that! Man the lifeboats!

Sounds good. Hopefully it can be resolved without too much hair pulling 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Alright, got the first post copied over. It’s not public yet but that can change whenever we’re ready. Looks like the post editor has most of the same features as the page and site editors but defaults to a paragraph block. So, in theory, we could embed the forums into a blog post as well. 😛

A longer post also gives me more to work with with the styles. 🙂

My highschool friend had another one of our old buddies down visiting so he brought him over to the shop, knowing I’d be there, to say hi. Very thoughtful! Abd very good to see both of them again! 🙂

[Spastic Hamburger]

Excellent idea! We can look at starting up our own list for Walrus Stuff! 😀

On that note: etckeeper is a life saver when doing server updates as it lets you compare changes between software versions and quickly get back up and running when something breaks in the configuration files.

NMS added fishing a few weeks ago. It’s pretty cool but the skiff they added is pretty basic. There’s no good way to get on it other than jetpacking and it’s a bit of a hassle to move while you’re on it. Hopefully they improve it!

[Spastic Hamburger]

Despite a lot of folks calling them dead formats (they’re not and still have good uses), 4k Blu-Ray discs and SACDs are still widely available. The latter is mostly available from specialty stores but there’s quite a selection!

[Spastic Hamburger]

Quite fond of Sin City. Picked up the graphic novel last year and it’s pretty enjoyable. It uses mostly sketch art instead of traditional comic art and is also in black and white, giving it an interesting look. It really worked out rather well

Saw Demon Seed yesterday and the plot made zero sense! It wasn’t even the fun kind of bewildering. It was just… bizarre
