I haven’t done an outdoor market in years. I loved it. Well, aside from being outdoors all day.
The Airwolf theme played by the same person on a cello using multi-track recording.

Mr. TM’s out at a friend’s tonight so I’m ordering a steak salad from one of my favourite restaurants, cracking open a bottle of wine, and settling in to watch Hamilton on Disney+ since he has no interest in it…

One of my very favorite officers, who was a butterbar (2LT, the most junior) when I was a junior soldier is now my brigade intelligence officer (which is rather important) and she is amazingly competent and things will be better going forward.

Is that what you want ?!
…and no, Discourse, my reply does not improve the conversation in some way.
Cheers.

I hate my Kindle. The autocorrect was done by a blind dyslexic dog.
Won the friendly productivity competition at work. Blew everyone out of the water. Next two weeks I’ll be gone for three of the eight days. Bet I will still be in the top three.

For his birthday, they released a Chris Cornell cover of GnR’s “Patience” that was recorded for an album that would never happen.

Just fixed my network issues.
I’ve been having intermittent network issues, where I would just lose connection to the internet. I was thinking “crap, I hope the motherboard isn’t getting flaky”. However, I realised that I could still reach internal network resources, just not external stuff so I thought it must be something software related rather than hardware.
So I Googled it. Apparently there are 2 main causes.
- Static IP address. Well, yes I have a static IP address, but I have always had one and I need it.
- 3rd party virus scanning software. Aha! I recently installed Malware Bytes, and that was probably about the time I started having troubles.
Sure enough, deinstalled it and I am back up and running again

Weird. Malware Bytes is usually one of the less obtrusive ones. Not like you installed Norton.
My employer mandates a ‘security package’ I won’t name (because… security) and it has a Known Bug that can cause clients to try and to the Windows ‘is the network down?’ DNS lookups literally thousands of times a second. It nearly ddos’es my DNS server when the feature with the big got turned on for thousands of machines.

I think something happened recently. I had MB on my laptop for ages and a few months back it started causing issues. Once I uninstalled it, everything was fie again.
Also had some network issues. Ethernet is fine, but I use ethernet mostly at the offices, and it was only wifi that was flaking out.
Blamed our ISP at first (we are using uncapped 4G mobile for internet connectivity) until I noticed that my cellphone is not affected at all.
Then I thought it was the company laptop’s wifi module packing up.
Did a bit of scratching around, found that the wifi module have two 802.11xxxx settings :
First one is 802.11a/b/g Wireless mode
Second one is 802.11n/ac
The first one was set to 6. Dual band 802.11a/b/g
Changed it to Dual band 802.11a/g
Problem fixed, rock-solid wifi. Yay for me.
Apparently 802.11a/b/g it does not work well with Unifi AP’s and is probably trying to force a higher speed?

I posted an ad in Craigslist the other day out of sheer desperation, looking for people who need a casual bass player (i.e. not a Serious Musician With Ambitions) and a semi-retired used-to-tour guitar player/singer with nothing but time right now lives a few miles away and we are coordinating time to play (outside, at a healthy distance).
Another guitar player an hour away is recording demos and looking for remote collaborators. He linked to an mp3 with an intro/verse/chorus/verse on Dropbox. I listened to it a few times, added a bass line and sent it back. Not sure it was what he was looking for, but he wants to get together to jam some time to see how it goes.

I think she shared it previously elsewhere.
I did in the gardening and harvesting thread, I think. That was back when I first published it.
