Oh, mighty Pond Gods, help me get through today because I'm not feeling the milk of human kindness so far.

When there's a successful solution, EVERYONE wants to get involved; run with it; cover themselves in glory.

The moment there's a problem with the solution, suddenly it becomes one person's sole responsibility.

Well, there's a first (For me.) my Keyboard at work has died! I spent ages scratting around trying to find batteries, but after two swap-outs, I came to the conclusion the Keyboard is dead; it has ceased to be; it is an ex keyboard.

First thoughts regards Windows 11?
I'm still thinking.

Like most OS upgrades, it's pretty underwhelming for the end-user unless there's sexy new icons or the start menu is moved to the top right corner or file explorer has an overhaul. just like Linux or any other OS for that matter, all the work is 'under the hood' on Windows 11

Ah yes. That rather scary heavy breathing must be me. Colleagues have pointed that irritating trait out to me in the Zoom era. 'Go on mute and stop looking at porn, you fucking pervert'.

The quick fire round was a little 'Nirvana and R.E.M. heavy'. Not quite as brilliant as I remembered it. Still Evan played along.

It just shows how dominant Facebook is in our lives when an outage causes almost worldwide panic.

They need to do away with the calorie charts on food and just put "You should only eat two of these today!" on the packaging instead. I've nearly finished these. :-(

One of the laziest scammers I've seen in a long time.

So the TV said something about Google no longer supporting its Movie app and promptly deleted it. I can download the Movies I bought from Google, but they're in some fooked up format that means they can only be played on an Android device. I wish I'd bought DVD's from Amazon now because I bet Google is going to stop its Movie service soon, and I'll lose all my purchases.

Ooh! Hello, thunder.

So, if it happens in the UK, it's Brexit, but if it happens in Europe, it's just logistics.

I am reworking an old favourite song for all those people putting petrol in water bottles.

♫ ♪ "Bullrings burning, Bullrings, fetch the engine, fetch the engine, FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! Pour on water, pour on water." ♬ ♩

My cold has gone, so why are my nostrils continually filling with two gallons of sticky yellow snot mucus?

!Friendica Support Hi, I upgraded via git yesterday to the latest version. Friendica is working, but I cannot access the admin page; the browser says it does not exist.

I've looked in the root directory where the URL points, and there is no admin folder or file. This was working before I upgraded, by the way. Any thoughts or ideas?

Thanks

!Friendica Support

There is no truth in the rumour that Tesla drivers are hanging around petrol stations laughing their bollocks off.

Upgraded #friendica I can log in. It looks like it's working, but the Admin page is gone or no longer accessible? @Alan I may have to go to the "Fuck Off." support service?

It's one of those 'Floating around' days today. People keep hovering around outside my door. "If the keyboard is clicking then I'm doing something innit!"

I am on the way to being cured, however, now I have coughing fits like I'm smoking 80 Woodbines a day! However, I now have a substantial amount of greeny-yellow sticky globs so if anyone has run out of blue-tac?

Gotta love BBC News logic this morning: "There's a shortage of gas, and prices are rising. We haven't used much gas recently due to the mild weather." Aye? If we haven't used it, there must be a glut of it. Stands to reason. 🤦‍♂️

Any Canny street trader would do well to start displaying some of their wears in Imperial Measurements just to entice the punters. "Half a pound of Carrots luv? Ere ya go." :-D
