I Am So Tired But There's So Much To Do Complaint Thread

    Non-complaint:  My night at the symphony went well.  All four pieces were enjoyable, even the  Prokofiev "Waltz", from "War and Piece", which had a nice melody and stayed mosty harmonious and was blissfully short (less than 10 minutes).  The Tchaikovsky "Romeo and Juliette Fantasy Suite" was, as always, amazingly emotive.  The Rimsky-Korsakov "Russian Easter Festival Overture" was bold and brassy and fun.  The final piece (Tchaikovsky's "Hopak") was again a short piece and one I'd not really heard or remembered before despite the conductor's pre-performance assurance that we'd all be familiar with it.  It was much fun, but as I predicted a few days ago here, it would have been much more enjoyable with a bevy of half naked, hot, sweaty, Russian dancers with swords and satin pantaloons cavorting and jumping and twirling around on the stage. smiley

    An almost complaint: The weather was perfect.  The rains had passed, the air was cool (low 70s), not humid, slight breeze. Only one exception to a perfect evening at an open air amphitheater.  Right at the point where the Romeo and Juliette dies down to nearly silent for about 15 seconds, when you're hanging on every note and listening intently to any strain of music and anticipating the beginning of the buildup again, you hear off in left field a very young child whining to her mother about something direly selfish.  Thankfully the mother was sophisticated enough to immediately remove herself and her, way to young to be at the symphony, daughter out of the amphitheater.  Thankfully they were in the back rows and could exit quickly onto the street.  But I could hear the child's wails diminishing as they got further away.  People!  Don't bring your children to adult events until they have been housetrained and learned how to use their indoor voice, and understand the meaning of "shhhhh". frown

    ...OK one more reason to buy and old school car If I ever start driving again.   Tonight while riding home from my gaming session with a friend, we were flagged down buy a fellow who needed a jump. OK, simple yes, hook the cables to both batteries give the motor a few revs so the other bloke could start his car and we're all good right?  Well not so fast.  Apparently the company that built my friend's car (a post 2000 Buick Skylark) decided to do an odd configuration.  Instead of the battery being under the bonnet on the right side where it normally should be, it turns out it is under the left rear passenger seat. No way jumper cables are long enough to reach from there to another vehicle.

    The worst part is if the battery ever explodes, the back seat passenger ends up on a real "hot seat".  I can't believe someone was actually paid to design such rubbish.

    ...nope.  I just would be nervous that should the battery explode or catch fire after a side collision, it is in the passenger compartment under very flammable material. They banned "sidesaddle" fuel tanks in pickups because of the greater danger they posed to the occupants. 

    If I ever do get a car again it will be one old enough to have all the components where they should be, easily accessible to work on or replace and no computerised anything.

    Ditto.  Rober A. Heinlein was my favorite SF author back in the dark ages when I was a naive impressionable young teen.  Perhaps then I would have enjoyed the gung-ho atmosphere of the SST movie(s) but now I just view them as yet another love story with teens sacrificed for the good of mankind movie.  (*bleah*)

    The best part of the first movie was Doogie Howser.

    In other words, the movie Hoovered.

    You could also try http://www.mouser.com/Search/Refine.aspx?Keyword=electrolytic+capacitor or http://www.newark.com/c/passive-components/capacitors/aluminium-electrolytic-capacitors/leaded-aluminium-electrolytic-capacitors .

    Also make sure you are familiar with high voltage electrical hazards of capacitors (if applicable) if you haven't worked with them before.  You do not want to release the ultra ferrets.

    I swear there's something wrong with my other laptop's wireless internet. The thing can take an hour or three to download a 100mb file, and frequently has issues even loading simple webpages. Heck earlier it took eight minutes just to download a picture that wasn't even 180kb in size!  Today I was trying to launch Fallout New Vegas, and it sat there for three minutes trying to synch with the cloud saves, obviously failing to do so, before asking me if I just wanted to continue or not. Shortly after, Steam went into saying I had no internet connection.  Of course, the adapter says I have 'great connection' to my router and taking a test with Firefox says it is indeed working - albeit very slowly.

    Steam manages to reconnect, and I spend another three minutes trying to load up the cloud saves I have, before I just decide to go back to my other laptop and do something on that instead. I used to just be able to switch off the wireless and hook up my ethernet cable to it, which actually makes it more reliable than this one..... "Used to be able to".  Now the ethernet port doesn't seem to want to recognize the cable anymore, so that computer's pretty much in a internetless state  :/

    Gonna have a computer shop look at it later on and see if anything can be done about the port at least. My other laptop - the one I'm typing this message on right now - uses the same router and all that and doesn't have any of these issues. Not unless the router itself is having a bad day. I remember being told that something was up with the wireless adapter on my laptop, so ethernet's really the only way I can have a reliable connection. Except for right now, since that port doesn't want to work anymore :<
