I think just the stars and river look nice. Out of interest what sort of paper are you printing on?

Anyone ever come across Microsoft 365 apps appearing to uninstall themselves and then reinstall when syncing on shared devices with the shared activation set? #intune

I miss those days. There was a great PowerShell, great networking and a great WiFi community there. Everyone was supportive and helped each other.
Mostly gone now and fragmented all over the place :(

You clap at the end of the blow pipe and hope that by some miracle of physics enough pressure and air gets there to turn the glass in to a lovely vase before it solidifies

I forget what I watched but I heard someone describe train driving as something that requires a lot of concentration on something that is incredibly uninteresting 99% of the time. There was even a term for it that I can’t remember

For a minute there I thought this was how to apply flea treatment to a cat

Did think there was a big queue at Heathrow when I looked out the hotel window

Your art is gorgeous. Even the mini paintings not only look great they’re a perfect size to display. Keep it up!

Passed my CWISA exam today. There’s nothing for it, can’t keep putting off CWAP any longer!

That is a bit odd. I would expect the company to be footing the bill for it and not you

I think if they’re similar enough and you’re clear enough in the description that you’ll be getting of them at random it’ll be fine. Mostly as long as you’re clear and up front about I can’t see it being a problem

Depends how similar they are i think for me

What camera are you getting?

It’s been bugging me all day what’s wrong with it and that’s it!

Sounds a bit like systems analysis

Don’t tell me, you were hopping mad! Sorry, couldn’t resist

You’re a perfectionist!

Yep. An old friend of mine developed specifications for some parts of transaction processing that are still in use today. He even got paid a lot of money to look at why it was broke a few years ago as well. COBOL never dies!

Banking and finance mostly. Systems written in the 90s are still processing billions of transactions every night to move money to where it should be because it’s just so reliable

Not sure if that’s a dream or a nightmare

I mean I assume your car came with brakes and you haven’t been driving round all this time going well I hope this thing stops in time! Hope your foot is better soon

Gas is gone! Meter was removed today by Octopus Energy and we’re now an all electric house! Just need to work on the cars next…

When we had cats that would have accidents we’d clean the area with disinfectant but the trick we found to get rid of odours was slice an onion in half and leave it in the room for a few days and it will pull the smell out and absorb it

I am now wondering how one obtains that amount of m&ms. For research purposes obviously

Having known a bank programmer who got called in to look at code he wrote 30 years ago because it stopped working one night yeah, I don’t think they understand nor will they succeed

Yeah, you’ll never get the scale you need in small community wind farms but it’s nice to own a piece of one for me. I look at it more as I’ve purchased some electricity over 20 years and not necessarily as a return on an investment

From the last update from the board they did warn that due to Ripple entering administration payments may be delayed while they look for a new management company. The money is paid to the wind farm company so it is at least safe. Hope they find a new one soon

The Saturns print is fantastic @stellerarts.bsky.social

Ahh yes. That’s never good! This may help youtu.be/eHsoNLm78ys

I think the real question is do you want to see a whole castle or half a castle in ruins looking at that
