Or, changing tack, how about sexultimate?

Just a leaf on the footpath after rain…

Did he pick up passengers along the way?

Shrinking the Windows partition so I had enough room to install Linux as a dual boot on the SDD. Windows was reluctant to free up space… And then getting Linux to automatically recognise/integrate my other internal hard drive.

Customising the desktop was fun though!

Meme showing an iceberg. Above the waterline, text says “Beautiful Linux Mint Installation”. Below the waterline, text says “ Video tutorials, Linux forums, googling, invoking deities…” and “ Trial and error, rebooting, sudo-ing, changing settings I don’t really understand…”

I *think* I may finally have Linux Mint working… Hoping I can move on from Windows entirely. Some things easier than expected, some things took a bit longer…

Not the first time they’ve done this “ambush broadcasting“. Almost got caught out another year. They promote it as “the big dance”, not the Melbourne Cup. All it does is piss off people they’ve misled.

Is that a couch with an outboard motor?

Yeah, as someone who likes a lot of sports, this week I’m a bit sorry I don’t really ‘get’ baseball. Highlights seemed exciting though!

I’ve got that book! Gave to look inside…

Words on a background of blue sand dunes: “Make a book title edible. I’ll start: Lord of the Onion Rings”

Make a book title edible:

The Catcher in the Rye Bread
Life of Pie
War and Pizza

Bah. I had pork steaks for tea tonight…

My thoughts:

A rare ray of sunshine in the world…

A lovely thing to read in the midst of the schemozzle we are currently living through…

I’d thought the practice of recipes being preceded by a rambling personal anecdote was a relatively recent one, but I was proved wrong by this account in a book that’s been in our family since 1890 (Dr. Chase‘s Third, Last and Complete Receipt Book). A story dating back to 1839…

Shhhh. Maybe they’ll leave us alone when the revolution comes!

Already done. Was good to be able to provide my reason!

Did you hit “record“ this time?

Twitterati - people on the “other place”

Groan. How long have you been sitting on that one, waiting for today?

Oh god. Xanadu is further in the past than the 40s were when Xanadu came out. The 80s (*my* 80s) are the 40s!!

“Astle” also sounds like a fine typeface. Serif, I would think.

Yeah, when do we get to the “Ewoks using stormtrooper helmets for drums” stage of history?

Damn, and there’s still another half a dozen books in the WW3.x series that you haven’t written yet. A shame.

Just about works with the tune for “12 days of Christmas”…

Successive posts in my timeline. There might be a link, but I can't quite put my finger on it...
