I'll damn sure not take updates for granted anymore. Can't believe their shoving this crap down our throats...dirty freakin business!
I had to download a special uninstaller from, who else, Adobe to remove their POS software from my system.
New version: WinHeist Version 2.2.2 Beta I told my psychiatrist that I was hearing voices in my head. He said you don't have a psychiatrist!

... in fact they're so sure about the quality of their software that they're willing to stake your life on it.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Still sizzling but no burn marks.

Running Windows 10.
Despite all the bad stuff I've heard about it I must admit it's not half bad
Beats Windows 8, but I still prefer Windows 7.
That's my opinion after a day of work.
The only issue I had was that everything was really very small and a bit blurry.
Nothing a quick google couldn't fix.
Apparently it was a setting that optimized use for mobile devices, but I'm working on two big monitors.

I know...
Been busy writing that book, and now a second.
And also other stuff.
And also just chilling.
To be honest, I stopped blogging right after I got a PlayStation 4...

Yeah, that's my opinion too, after 8 months with it.
It's getting better - mostly, but it has its "Elephant you!" moments still, particularly when it changes something without telling you.
But Win7 was still prettier, and a lot more "together".
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I moved from 7 to 10 about 5 months ago and so far, it has been mostly trouble free. I loved 7 since I tried the consumer preview 7 years ago and always considered it to be the best OS I've used.
I didn't like 10 much in the beginning, but have grown to like it even better than 7 or 8. The best feature, imho, is the taskbar on all monitors. Likewise, the worst has been the scattering of system settings and a fixed-width program menu. So far, the good outweighs the bad! At least I get a working weather app again!

Okay, everyone I want to first make sure it's clear...this post is not to be taken as offensive, but as merely a tounge-in-cheek joke. Whew, glad we got past that...
So, my cousin's husband posted to FB the other day that he ordered a dozen tacos in the drive-thru line at the taco restaurant. He said he could have swore that the member of staff at the drive-thru window was gay and was totally making eyes at him.
He then went on to muse, "Well, I did take his tacos, so he's halfway there." LMAO!
I then commented, trying to imitate a "stereotypical" gay person, "(In a fem gay man's voice) Eat his tacos! You GO, boy!" ha ha ha...
Hmmmm....on dodgy ground here, but I thought it was a snarky enough response to his story...

is not pleasant. my body thinks it's mid-afternoon but my brain feels like mushy pudding (ok, that is pretty normal). They say it takes a day an hour to recover. Only 6 more to go...

Me either and I rarely get it going to the UK, always get it coming back. I even slept well on the plane - maybe that was the problem!!!
Probably be ok by Friday - until then, fuzzy, foggy brain and a nagging appetite.

Sleep if it is a night flight and stay awake on a day flight (as much as possible)
Then fight the urge to go to bed early the first evening what ever direction you fly.
Also try to eat at normal hours (normal in the new time zone).

I get a little jet lag even travelling one time zone.
My wife and I just went on a 6500 mile road trip to the East coast of the Untied Snakes and Maritime provinces of Canada (2 time zones) and had to adjust twice in both directions.
Probably one of the hindrances was television, since East coast television is an hour later than for Central time zone residents. We watch news and a late night talk show, so were adjusting to the local time properly, then the television stuff pushed us back the wrong way.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...
