The Retirement Thread

[classic33]

I've forgotten where I put the braincells..

Oh flipping heck... This is not a joke - I wanted to do a backup of the puzzle game software that I have been writing. I was going to put the backup on a memory stick, but I couldn't remember where I'd put it after the previous backup!

(Panic over, after a 5 minute search I found it. I think it is probably time to start doing my backups online!)

You've marked the memory stick as "BackUp", I'll assume. With it being left in the same place each time.

You've marked the memory stick as "BackUp", I'll assume. With it being left in the same place each time.

It is marked as DataTraveler (sic)... presumably because it has data on it, and it can travel.

It doesn't really matter what is written on it if I lose it...

I have only got 2 of those particular memory sticks (16 GB ones). The other ones I have are much smaller. Not that I need GBs for those backups. Less than 0.1 GB would do.

Hmm, now I am wondering what happened to the other 16 GB memory stick! There used to be a box of cables on my mantelpiece. I bet it is in there. Once I remember where I moved the box to, I will be in with a shout of finding the memory stick - ha ha!

 

[ColinJ]

I found the box, and I found the memory stick in it. I also found a 64 GB stick which I had forgotten about... That has a version of Linux on it. I might have a play with that if it can boot from the memory stick. I don't want to install it on this laptop.

More time wasting for you... No, not YouTube videos this time!

I just rediscovered ClassicReload... They let you play old PC games in an emulator in a web browser. There are lots of my old favourites on there such as Prince of Persia, Lemmings, Tetris and so on... The site used to be a bit iffy on my old laptop, but the games I tried just now work really well on my newer, quicker machine.

If you decided to check the site out, remember to set the cookie handling to what you want. (I restrict what they can do to the minimum necessary.)

I've two of those, you've not got one of mine by mistake have you?

Morning. I meant to be up earlier to enjoy the peace and quiet of a Sunday morning but nodded off again around 5. Not really complaining as it’s a lovely feeling knowing you have had some sleep when you usually struggle.

I can hear the birds so daylight must be approaching so off out after my cuppa.

Good morning. The wind has dropped almost completely but it's chilly. There are reports of local burglaries last night in our community Facebook page. I'm now worrying, needlessly I'm sure, about the garage and my bikes.....take the car, leave the bikes! Please. I'll take a walk up there shortly to check.

Heading out on the club ride at 9.00. The group have chosen a brutal route. It's not often I have doubts but this morning I do!

Morning all

Bit of light frost on the roof of the car this morning.
Taking doggie for a walk at Broadsands this morning, then we're off to the Windsor Arms for Sunday lunch.
Nearly finalised our April trip - just 2 more sites to book.

 

[Dave7]

g'day g'day g'day to all.
Another decent sleep. Woke at 0530 and thought that was it but I drifted off and woke at 0650.
Just basic jobs to do today so quite chill day.

Where abouts are you heading this time.??

Popped up to the garage and of course the bikes are still there. I need to give the Kinesis a quick wash before I head out - I hosed her down after last week's gravel adventure but she's still pretty filthy.

A light frost and we now have a beautiful still day dawning. It's definitely getting lighter in the mornings.

Good morning all, up about seven, helped my Good Lady with the commode, got our breakfast and I've wrestled the clean fitted cover onto the settee, now waiting for the carer.

Morning. Another crap night. Numbness in both hips for some reason, lay on my back and now I have backache as well . Oh the joys of getting older I suppose.

-1here, but it's dry and calm.

Stay safe peeps

Good morning all fellow retirees.
A nice bright frosty start to the day here in Barnet.
Wordle done in 5, and I am now onmy second mug of tea .
Our daughter is coming round later, we haven't seen her for a couple of weeks.
So that means I can get a bimble on the bike for a while to get to the local shops, for a few bits of salad stuff that we are a bit low on.
Enjoy your day everyone.
