Mundane News

Anyone notice either this morning?
Did the earth move for you?

Best of luck LGC. I resisted that update for as long as humanly possible, because updates are universally bad news. Unfortunately, I had a power failure which involved restarting my computer, and this allowed the damn thing in. Two things already have stopped working, and something else is far clunkier than it ever used to be. Good luck with getting rid of it.

I uninstalled the update and rebooted. The update reinstalled. But the computer has now been working for 15 minutes and is not showing any signs of BSOD. Windows is weird.

I had sardines on toast last Saturday.
Easy and quick.

Perfect sardines on toast is made by lightly toasting 2 slices of toast under the grill on one side only. Tip a tin of sardines in tomato sauce into a bowl and mash with a large dollap of extra tomato ketchup using a fork. Put half of the mixture on each piece of toast and spread it evenly right up to the edges so you don't get burnt edges. Put them back under the grill and toast to your liking. Watch them because it won't take long.

I'd add a splash of Vinegar and graunch some Black Pepper on top.

I keep getting the blue screen of death on my desktop PC. I really hate Windows. I’m uninstalling the latest (and incessant) Windows update to see if that’s the problem.

Try Linux. Go on, you know you want to

Considering it. Depends if the apps I use run on Linux. Research required methinks.

Couple of drops of McIlhennys' finest.

How did you carry your falcon?

I disturbed a Kestrel that was perched in a tree on my way back .

I saw a few Skylarks in the large open fields that the road cuts through. They were busy singing away and dropping down into the fields.

There's an add on in Linux called "wine", which basically is a Windows emulator, and I can run my main "Windows specific" programmes through it seamlessly. Doesn't work for everything though.

If you're a bit nervous about taking the plunge though you can run Linux alongside Windows on your PC/laptop. It will create a separate partition on your drive and you can choose which operating system to launch at start up.

It's certainly mundane in my life as I sit alone serving my BSA's hub.

 

[Gravity Aided]

So you have time to service a hub?

What you serving the your hub?

Bangers and Mash as it was hungry.
