    I blame the weather for how ratty this office is today.

    Though I’ve also noticed that I’m also reporting how ratty the office is, so maybe it’s just a ratty office. I’m the self appointed cheerleader though.

    Nobody gives me HDs anymore, Wah! No I’m not insomniac and reading old papers for endorphins or some such shite. It didn’t work, but revisiting dot matrix fonts is enlightening

    Curse these naps.

    Was late with the antibiotics so gave them right after the midnight meds… bubs threw them right back up so I gave her some anti nausea meds and repeated the dose.

    Dealing with a spilled milky drink on the carpet too. As much as I soak and blot it up I can still smell it -_-

    I wish there was a carpet cleaner that doesn’t absolutely reek of perfume to the point of setting off migraines and causing asthma attacks.

    I use the bacterial enzyme cleaner which is less scented but that’s more for breaking down pee, and doesn’t do a good job of actually cleaning spills.

    I hate having carpet. If I could go back in time I’d buy a washable rug and use it to shield.

    Trying to sort computer shit out quick and dirty just to get unstuck.

    spoiler

    Windows 11 machine is completely full so using a Mac to download the classic Linux Mint and waiting a hundred years for the iso to download so I can sha the damn thing and make a bootable usb drive. The old desktop has been backed up a few weeks ago.

    Tried to drag a bunch of files onto a 32gb usb off Windows machine to free space and keep them safe but there’s seriously not enough room for all of it so I might get an external drive just for that to have on top of backups. Otherwise if I can get the desktop sorted soon I can just ferry the most important stuff over.

    Then I have to download everything off Flickr and Dropbox and make sure the last gmails get changed over on any platforms they’re still connected to (or emails they’re recoveries for).

    Today is going to be very busy so that may have to wait

    Yay the string of numbers matches one of the approved ones :)

        Thanks. They’re actually extremely patchy because I’m mostly self taught, I can follow curly tutorials and use the command line with a guide but a lot of the fundamentals have been missed

      Yay. Welcome (back?) to the Tux team! I realised how many old photos I still have stored on Facebook the other day. I think un-cloud-ifying is going to be one of my long term projects too. So I look forward to hearing how you go.

        I’m going to have to do it fast because starting from December I’m going to lose access :(

        I’ve tried Linux before but not as my main. This is basically to test out and see if I can switch over for most things because I viscerally hate Windows 11

          I’ve been on linux for years. LibreOffice is prettty good as an MS office replacement. I don’t play a lot of PC games so I’ve never missed that. I reckon you’ll be fine.

            Problems might include document compatibility when dealing with organisations and possibly WebEx or Zoom. I’ll work it all out on this old machine as I get time and energy though. I have a lot of more urgent stuff to do before then. One step at a time

              Yell out if you find any issues. I use Ubuntu as my biz laptop. Zoom and IIRC Webex are ok and I have had to work around document compatibility a bit so I know some tricks :)

      I’ll have whatever Witchy wants to order for me, and Witchy can have: a walnut, apple and brie toastie with an Irish coffee

        Witchy will have what SHE wants! Chef, can I please order a generous serve of humble pie for Force, with sriracha if he would like that with it, and some super sweet raspberry vinegar to go with.

                OK, I’ll forgive you. Have a nice breakfast muffin on me 🧁.

                Akshully humble pie is real - can be spelled umble pie - is a savoury meat pie made mostly with offal (the umbles of a beast are the kidneys, liver and lungs). Done well it’s delicious. Eat with sharp pickles on the side and a nice frothy beer or three - breakfast (or dinner) of champions. Close cousin of haggis but with pastry not oats and baked not boiled.
