Real hot here again today but just got the feeling this morning that it is changing, we're well overdue for some arctic winds and the monsoons can't keep blowing for much longer this year
I had to register a keycard today but when I rang up they said I had to wait until tomorrow :)
the are other P sizes as well, look into Academy 2K 2048x1024, the P displayes every frame whole, as you rendered it, instead of splitting it in two like the "i" formats do :)
thunderstorms tnite. sounds like the sky is bowlibg gutterballs
Arghhhhh...
Primary computer died last tonight. I woke up at 3:30 AM with a sense of dread. Then totally unlike my normal behavior (of going back to sleep), after 30 minutes of being unable to get back to sleep I got up, got dressed and came down to have a bowl of cereal. As per my habit I turned on the computer (it was off off) first thing while I made my breakfast and came to sit in front of the computer to eat to get my morning fix of web browsing. But today I had a black screen with big white letters saying "... CPU FAN NOT FOUND" Arghhhh....
So here I am at 5 in the morning, kvetching through my laptop after crawling under my desk and disecting my computer out of the mass of wires down there so that I can get it up where I can work on it. It's going to be a fun morning.
AND OF COURSE .... 10 minutes later...
I have the computer extracted, side off, connected to testbed area (monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, LAN) and when I turn it on the CPU fan turns like a champ and the computer boots normally.
Now, I'm not new at this stuff and I DID test the machine several times in its normal connections before deciding to extract it for testing. It failed the same way each time.
So what did I do differently to make it work at the testbed. 1) I moved it and laid it on its side. 2) I removed the side panel 3) I switched off the actual power supply switch then turned it back on. 4) I connected a different monitor, keyboard, mouse, speaker and LAN.
Do I dare move it back into its normal place, and crawl under the desk to reattach everything? This fat old man objects to doing that many times in a day.
I found it but I could not log in.
Complaint-worthy.
Primary computer is back together and back in its place under the desk and working fine. Go figure.
I hate intermittent problems. 
I think Murphy paid you a fleeting visit to celebrate St Patrick's day

Why are tablet screens so hard to read when outside on a bright sunny day?
Happy St. Patty's Day, everybody!
LeatherGryphon, I hope the fan is OK, now, but I would take that as a sign that it's on its way out.

...woke up to find a BSOD on the workstation. Seems something tried to reboot it and when it did that triggered the BSOD as it is one that occurs when a process called Win7 Startup Repair is supposed to run. Shut down restarted then got BSODs after back to back startups before it stayed on long enough so I could do a full normal manual shutdown. Reviewing the Event Log, discovered that during the last two, something barfed in the logon routine. After the third restart and login, everything back to normal and all processes that are supposed to load worked fine.
Makes me wonder if Win 10 tried to install while I was asleep but failed as I hid all the updates that are supposed to assist in the transition process. Read on a tech forum this morning that someone else woke up to find Win 10 instead of 7 on his system.
...the only Murphy I want to deal with today is the Stout by the same name.
that pic makes me feel extra parched
Happy Happy!

My housemates are driving me crazy. Especially the ones who talk and yet I do not understand them. I think it is English but it sounds like gibberish.
"Gibberish" is a subset of all languages it was modeled on the combined vocal sounds of several species of Gibbons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gibbon
I found this paragraph particularly descriptive.
"Gibbons are social animals. They are strongly territorial, and defend their boundaries with vigorous visual and vocal displays. The vocal element, which can often be heard for distances of up to 1 km (0.6 mi), consists of a duet between a mated pair, with their young sometimes joining in. In most species, males, and also some females, sing solos to attract mates, as well as advertise their territories.[18] The song can be used to identify not only which species of gibbon is singing, but also the area from which it comes"
Despite its use in all languages it has the common feature that it is almost totally unintellible to anyone outside the particular social group of conversants. In fact the members of the group of conversants often don't understand what was said but they just nod their heads, grunt more gibberish and the "conversation" carries on as if anything useful was being accomplished.
giblets? agent gibbslets? tee hee
