  • This has to be the buggiest version of WatchOS Iโ€™ve ever used. ๐Ÿ˜ญ Even after an erase / reset, the battery is draining too fast. The heart rate complication doesnโ€™t work anymore. Now I canโ€™t get into the widgets, which means a restart. What is going on at Apple?! ๐Ÿ˜ฑ

  • Took three weeks but the burial is over, the slide show is done, and everyone cried; I feel like I can finally start grieving now. ๐Ÿ’” On the plus side, I did get to hang out with my cousins today, which was lovely, along with some aunts and other family. ๐Ÿ˜

    Goodbye Grandma, I’ll miss you always. โค๏ธ

  • Random Thought: Yea, this sounds about right, once the price is outside of what most “normal” people would consider reasonable, piracy increases… ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ

    Screen grab of a Tweet from Tom Warren, with the following verbiage: if Apple TV, Netflix, and Disney+ keep raising prices then it will only force more people into piracy. It's already surprising how many in the UK use modified Fire TV sticks to access pirated TV shows and movies

  • Yup, he’s still not happy with the construction…it’s almost done but I can tell he’s plotting our downfall. ๐Ÿ˜ผ๐Ÿ˜น๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ“ท

  • It was just starting to feel like autumn but this week…not so much. ๐Ÿ‚

  • Alex is not amused by the construction going on in the house. ๐Ÿ™€๐Ÿˆ๐Ÿ“ท

  • I’ve been bashing my head against the Micro.blog theming system, trying to get it matching the one on my primary website but given the time of day, it’s time to shutdown and try again tomorrow. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

  • Listening to Mishima / Closing… ๐ŸŽต

    Covert art for 'Mishima / Closing' song, pulled from Apple Music.

    I’m not sure why it’s affecting me so much but as soon as this song came on (listening to random “for you” playlist on Apple Music, I started thinking about Grandma. ๐Ÿ’” It’s a little odd b/c this wasn’t her type of music but here we are, the brain is odd.

  • I’m very excited about the upcoming live-action the Last Airbender series. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป I loved the original series on Nickelodeon and while we don’t talk about the movie that came out a while ago (worst movie I’ve ever seen), things are looking good for the Netflix version. ๐Ÿ˜„

  • I was hoping to start swapping my media server from it’s tower case into my new Slinger CX4712 case over the weekend…but life got in the way. Fingers crossed I can get to it this week, I don’t want to impact any end users. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป๐Ÿ“ท

    Empty server case on light-brown carpet, with some bubble wrap in the back of the case, with some boxed computer fans on top, with wires coming out of the front of the case.
  • Photo of a container of Trader Joe's pumpkin spice coffee on the right side (on top of a kitchen counter, the 'fake' marbled pattern in various shades of brown), next to a calendar-book featuring a photo of a museum in Germany (it's a Rick Steve calendar).

    Yes, I might be called “basic” but ‘tis the season… ๐ŸŽƒโ˜•๏ธ๐Ÿ“ท

  • Friend of mine encouraged me to see if work offered bereavement leave…and they do, three days for a Grandparent. Rather lucky to have stumbled into working for this kind of company. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿฅบ #MixedEmotions

  • Went to the office yesterday, in person, for the first time in over a year. No wonder I’m so exhausted today… ๐Ÿคฃ #WorkFromHome

  • “If I were a blessing, I’d run around naked”

    GIF image of Sophia from the Golden Girls, in funeral-black with pearls, waving her hands about. The text in the Gif: I always wondered why blessing wore disguises; If I were a blessing, I'd run around naked.

    As always, we can count on the Golden Girls to cheer us up and offer a bit of truth with humor.

  • ๐Ÿฟ “It’s just a little Hocus Pocus!" ๐Ÿ“ท
    โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜†โ˜†

    The movie 'Hocus Pocus' projected up on the side of a house at night, frozen at the title screen of the movie for the picture. In the lower-left corner of the image, a glowing fire, and in the upper-left of the image, the fading light of the setting sun.

    An annual tradition with my Girls from University, we started watching the movie (and pigging out) outside during the Pandemic and have just kept that as part of our Autumn event.
