nomms :lol:
Hee hee heeeeeeee, I am THE WOOLY LOACH! Just changed my nic to reflect my ever-growing music projects! :coolsmile:
BRR BRR BRR :ahhh:
Well, the new boards are here, and they are truly a thing of beauty. Lots of tiny little chilpets, clean surface mount soldering, and only 1 small iffy spot that had solder filaments I needed to fix.
For a first spin (spin means iteration/version), it's a fantastic job. Beer all around! :cheese:
Once my hardware counterpart is out of meetings.. it's time to apply power! SMOKE TEST! :ahhh: :ahhh:
Was that the last thing you used/played, or one you play often? It is actually Windows that offers the "suggestions" for what to use to open an unknown file type, so it's not surprising that the same list came up. It might be a list of software most-used by you. I'm not exactly sure how the list of suggestions is actually generated, but that seems likely.

Well, it's still snowing here. The snowdrifts are crazy. My car is almost completely exposed, but the drifts next to the fence, a couple feet away from the car, look like almost three feet deep!
I had to go outside around 4:00 am to check on the heating intake and exhaust vents. I didn't want to chance carbon monoxide poisoning. I really hated to go out there at that time, in that blowing, sideways, snow. But it was nagging me and I couldn't get to sleep. Good think I did. A drift was pretty close to the intake vent. I'd say maybe eight inches. The exhaust vent was never in any trouble, it's pretty high.
No power loss!

No snow here.
Last thing I used was Photoshop, the last game(s) I had played that day were Orcs Must Die 2, Age of Mythology/Wonders, Master of Orion 2, Minecraft, then Dino D-Day - and some of those games I had played multiple times.
As for played often... According to Steam and Raptr.... Nope, not by a longshot. I've got a total of fifteen minutes worth on this computer actually, compared to the 22+ hours of OMD2, so it's neither a recently played game nor a commonly played one. In fact on top of that I've only launched the game twice since I installed it on this laptop.
I've played it more on my desktop way back though. Fun game, but I never really got around to installing it on my new computer.
:shut: changing the light type sets the color chip back to white
Finally, lunch! :cheese:
Fried chicken and fried okra, wheeeeeeeeee! Nom nom nom..
We got our boards in, hooked the first one up, and olny had the LCD melt itself! :gulp: Apparently there's something weird with the heater circuit and it came ON when I told it OFF.. :blank: Rest of the board looks good, though. :)
Today and tomorrow for bring-up, fun times! :coolsmile:
BUT.. it's 65F outside, not a cloud in the sky, and I'm hitting the bar on the way home to CELEBRATE! Just a few beers and some rock, then home.. much to do!
It's Your Move
cozy :)
BEER!
tiki martini :cheese:
BEER!
tiki martini :cheese:
LOL No Tikis in Tulsa.. :long: Lots of biker bars, though! The patio at the Cimmaron is nice and you can hear the jukebox, they put speakers outside. :coolsmile:
Two more hours and color me gone! :cheese:
Nothing else has caught on dire, but the OS won't boot up.. probably an I/O mismatch between the proto and final board.. :blank:
biker bar is the place to go to pick up a date? :)
or would the biker ladies beat me up :lol:
warm sake would be the perfect remedy for the cold day.
Depends on the bar :lol:
The Cimmaron is a nice place.. not a pickup bar, just "the corner bar" with live music, cold beer, and friendly folks:
http://www.cimarronbar.com/
Never seen a fight there, but they happen, usually late Friday or Saturday, due to people not "in the family".
All the hot girls are either taken, or lesbian! *cry*
GREAT jukebox, though!

Well, as I said, it's Windows that puts up the suggestions...so it's Windows that decides what's been used often...on that computer...not Steam. And since you said you had played it that day, I think that's why it's in the list. But I could be wrong. It could also look at things that the software uses and tries to guess based on that. Maybe that game uses some files with no extensions.
I give up. It's not that important.

Very nice! And surreal!

...you sure you want to go to Florida...?
...in the Great Beer Wasteland?
...where they have Hurricanes and frequent lightning storms?
...where there's lots of heat and humidity and annoying bugs?
...where they have poor public transit (and many who live there admit they have the nation's worst drivers)?
I know it rains a lot up here, but we usually don't get much in the way of "real" winter, and we have much better beer as well as food and the music scene. I am sure there are a lot of C#/.NET positions in the Portland/Seattle area and even though our transit system here in Portland has it's faults, it's still better than you would probably find there.
...umm, that's a lot of snow....
Only takes an inch or two to paralyze Portland.
...your place has a heat pump I take it?
...nice.
....for some reason hearing Also Sprach Zarathustra

...we have several Tiki Bars here in Portland.
Biker bars too as well, for riders of both the motorised and pedaled kind.
Morning. Big bright blue sky day to lift the spirits and not too hot either, WIN :lol:
It's 19F here and feels like 4F. Still snowing. Sun down.
Dana
...your place has a heat pump I take it?
I'm not exactly sure what that means. The furnace burns natural gas and there's air ducts throughout the house and a big fan pushes the hot air through the ducts. There is a return air shaft as well. The central air uses the same blower and duct system. The compressor is outside, of course. I think that's the compressor.

Or "take your paw off my pawn you d*mn dirty ape!" :lol:

..yeah that sounds like a heat pump, basically a unit that sits on the ground beside the house which forces air (heated or cooled) through the structure's internal vents. Lived in Wisconsin where we had a gas furnace but it had it's own internal forced air system.

No, the furnace is inside in the basement. The blower is in the furnace. The only thing outside is the condenser or compressor (I think condenser), whatever, for the central air conditioning.

Well, I opened the front door, sat on the steps inside, and shot this image about an hour ago. Our house is a raised ranch style, and the house goes out around the doorway, usually helping keep the weather away from the door to an extent. The copper post caps on the front fence are a little above my shoulder height, and I'm 5'6". And it's not done yet! :ahhh: It's going to take all day to shovel out the driveway tomorrow, and clear a path to the fire hydrant, which normally would be in full view. See that red circle near the left-most post? That's the marker for the hydrant. I'll have to shovel out around my mail box across the street, too, or they won't deliver the mail when they do come around.
