    Complaint: Updated my USB support in my main computer that I use for DS and now it crashes to BSOD continually. Then  I messer up even more and disabled USB supprt in the Bios when I was trying to corrected it. So, now I have no USB input and of course no control of the computer

     

    A Big NON-Complaint.: I just got word from the tech that my main computer is back in the Land of the Living and he is finishing up optimizing it as we speak. I was so afrid I might need a new MoBo (or worse a new $2.5K computer) but he was able to get my Bios back and it is up and running. I am so relieved and looking forward to getting it back in a day or so. This old HP I have is not really very good for modern day DS.

    Or is it something to measure the improbability of an event that has occured?

    Morning. Pale light of cold dawn made even more miserable by radio ads constantly reminding that Winter Is Coming, starting next monday on pay TV I think :)

    It's only July 12, but I'm seeing "Back to School" ads.  The kids must hate it!

    Thunder rolled in earlier...a lot of it.  Then it got really, really, windy.  Then some hailstones fell on my deck.  Only a few, though, and they melted quickly.  It seems the worst is over now.  Heard the distant thunder on the other side of us, moving away.

    LOL Actually I have a couple of Fluke (volt) meters left over from the old days (80's) when I owned and operated a game room.

    I think someone with an iPad hacked into my facebook account or I am just paranoid.  while I was in the bathrub I got a notification that someone was trying to get into my account.   Well a notice that I was having difficulty logging in, but I was in the bath and not trying to use facebook.   I looked into it and it said that I had an iPad logged into my account.  I do not have an iPad.  Colour me confused or paranoid but this feels like something irritating asbug under my skin.

    ...ahh, don't do animation myself. Not when a single scene can take all night to render. I'm OK in Carrara, but it doesn't allow as use of the many morph utilities I have as well as a lot of Daz content these days only having Iray shaders. BTW, is G3 still not compatible?

    From the experience I've been having the past couple of years raytrace is still the way to go for animation, the PBR's just aren't as industrial strength for movies yet :)

    I have changed it to a password generated by something other than my pet fish's name and also put in some hopefully better security settings.   I will try to figure it out more tomorrow.

    Other complaints is that the van that was going to take me to work tomorrow has a bad tire so gotta use Uber to get to work if I want to be there on time.  Also I am having difficulty trying to lie down to sleep because I got yelled at too much over little stuff.  I might have done wrong or something but it was not worth being yelled at over in my opinion if that matters. It is just too much! I do not want to go into much details but I am getting my support team involved for my sanity.  Not to get anyone into trouble but to keep me from doing something stupid. I am afraid I cannot say too much more but as long as it is known for now I am safe other than having some insomnia flair up.

    Yep. I have a bench top and a handheld somewhere.

    I've got a couple of modern volt meters around here someplace, but back in the day (middle of the last century) I used a VTVM (Vacuum Tube Volt Meter).  Big things, about the size of a small toaster, big accurate actual needle meter.  Weighed about a pound or two, had several vacuum tubes inside it.  Had to plug it into the wall to use it.  Had to wait at least 10 minutes for it to warm up and become stable before taking readings with any significant degree of accuracy.  Built mine from a kit (Knight Kits).  They were also available from Eico and Heathkit.

    I also built a pair of walkie-talkies and my first set of stereo gear (amplifier, tuner) from KnightKit.  After college (mid '70s) I built my first color TV from HeathKit's catalog.  Took me weeks with all the little capacitors, resistors, transistors, tubes, wires, nuts, bolts, circuit boards, chassis parts, solder, solder iron, wirecutters, screwdrivers, etc.  and scads of instructions neatly laid out all over my kitchen table and shelves.  Ate a lot of pizza those weeks.  I even opted to get the walnut cabinet for it.  Unfortunately it was the worst TV I've ever owned. sad  Worked great for about 6 months at a time but would then die in the one complex part that came preassembled from Heathkit and I had to take it to Miami to get it fixed in their service department three times.  I stopped using it after 2 years and junked it about 3 years later.  But it was really fun to build it and watch it while it worked.

    I remember my dad using one of those meters for his job. He was an electrician working for Hobart who make all the scales, slicers, mixers and meat wrappers in most of the grocery stores. He also used them in the Airforce where he was an aircraft electrician on the B52's. By the time I went to the military they did away with those. I was also an aircraft technician working on the engines of the aircraft.

    My Dad repaired aircraft instruments during WWII while stationed at a base in France. No Air Force then, it was the Army Air Forces. Bomber missions flew into Germany and came back shot to pieces. He stayed busy.

    the lotto numbers in fortune cookies never work.

    it would help if the cookie mentioned when to play the numbers exactly, and which lotto.
