If you didn't see my last post on here, WordPad wasn't starting as quickly as it should've been on my laptop. I tried everything I could possibly think of to fix it or at least diagnose it, but everything failed.
I was recently thinking about things that could have some form of input into how WordPad works (which isn't much, it's got about as many settings as a light switch) and thought about the Windows Print Spooler service. For those of you wondering what the hell I'm talking about, t
Whenever I write one of these posts, there's a good chance that I'm doing so using WordPad. I know some people are probably wondering why, so I should probably start by answering that.
I don't use Microsoft Office because I'm not paying $80 for a word processor. I don't use LibreOffice because it's crashy, needs to be updated manually, and unfamiliar. I know WordPad has no spell-checking, but that doesn't bother me because I'm confidrnt enough in my spellig. I know WordPad doesn't ha

As the proud user of a tried-and-tired iPhone XS with an ailing battery and more scuffs than a drunk driver’s car, it should be fairly obvious that I’m not the kind of person who excitedly buys the latest iPhone when it comes out. Still, I often argue with the keyboard comedians out there who always make the same jokes about how a new iPhone is the same as the last one.
I’ve always disagreed with these people for several reasons over the years:
The camera usually gets a s
this was my first car made in 4.27 and my first car with a interior
containing 50+ fixtures and 3+hours of work
several keyboards
speed reduction
15x 16 cylinder engine prototype
traction control removed
so after postponing for 15years i finally decided to give vim a go....
these are my issues with it most of them are applicable to the out of the box fesh installation of it.
lets start with the first couple:
for a keyboard oriented editor (everything availeble from commands and functions without your hands needing to change positions ~ everything availeble from homerow) , to the point wer navigating a document (usually arrows) is duplicated to the keys hjkl , you do have
About a year ago, I received a Chromebook from my mom’s friend. Its end of support date was sometime in June of this year (2022 if you’re reading this in 2023, 2024, or maybe this blog will be like religious books and people in the year 4843 will have this read to them by their robotic dog who is also their dental hygienist), so she figured I might want to do something with it.
I genuinely don’t think I’d ever wanted a laptop less than that, because I’m sure we all know the hardware
here is another thing that really sucks hairy monkeyballs in any arch based distro:
so apparently pacman knows these two packages are actually the same as they occupy the same slot (conflict):
:: ki18n and ki18n-git are in conflict. Remove ki18n-git? [y/N] (=>both answers haave the same effect the process exits)
but even if sees the conflict it doent actually know these are the same packages,
since the -git version is installed lets check what version of the package is curren
sometimes the "everything is a file" approach on *nix systems is great sometimes its not really
especially when programming its not.
the filesystem structure of certain " special/magic" directories and there files is maybe unlikely to change in the near future. but
filepaths tend to be just strings most of the time. even when they arent at first glance if you follow the trail down to where they are actually constructed they usually end up being just a collection of hardcoded str
This was a lovely little sprint we had, an amazing turn out when you take into account the current cost of living crisis and to say we produced over 2.7 billion points and that something we all be proud of. No matter if you were a whale or a sardine, you were a part of this achieve and for that, you should be patting yourself on the back. Thank you to everyone who helps to make the events run smoothly and thank you to everyone who signs up for your understanding of my struggles.

I wrote this shortly after acquiring my new monitor in June of 2022 but seem to have forgotten to post it. Here we go...
A few months ago I wrote about how desperate I was to upgrade from my 17” Acer AL1706, as it simply wasn’t the kind of monitor I could see myself using into the foreseeable future. Sure, it was better than, say, a 2000s laptop screen, but calling a display better than one on a 2000s laptop is no different than saying your house is safer from flooding than a town in
Baha continues his push in the final days of the event, and if he keeps it up we will see him pushing up to 5th place by the closing whistle. Shlouski is looking so impressive, you can not help but appreciate the way they have smashed it and pushed the team to higher levels.
In first place, as has been the truth for the entirety of the event we have shoulski, with 394.2 million points, there is no way we won't be celebrating the legend by the end of the event at this point. miker07
It's looking pretty calm in the ranks today, cbogfoot is back in the top ten and Baha is looking poised to advance further up the ranks in the last couple days we have left of the event.
I'm not going to write out the ranks today, not much has changed and unfortunately I gotta get ready to stream as I'm running late, I hope you can all understand. Please find the ranks below.
Day Five Stats
Please remember that this is a friendly event, but we are all
So an alternative title for this would be Shoulski breaks the stats. As cbigfoot mentioned, he is producing so much the stats just don't line up, keep going man, let's see what you can do. Baha has come out of nowhere and struck right at the top of the table. It's good to see someone willing to shake things up even with such a short event.
Shoulski continues to show us just want a man on a mission can do, pushing the envelope ever higher, taking the number one spot with 260.7 millio
Well here we are, day three and even with only our small number of participants we are surpassed the one billion mark already. Thank you to everyone who has got involved so far, no matter if you have produced 100 million, or 100 points, you are appreciated.
Shlouski continues to push forward in first place, with 187.9 million points, it is looking like they aren't going to be caught during this event, but who knows, a few mercenaries here and there could lead to a massive change. Mi
Well here we are, seeing some mighty impressive numbers. Everytime I think we have seen the best we could have you guys smash it and just push that bit further, and for that I salute you.
Shlouski continues on their roll in first place, sitting there with 123.6 million points, they are certainly the one to beat and looking at the competition there is no one to challenge. Miker07 is next up maintaining second place with 104.1 million points. Third place is once again Mxyzptlk who is
Well here we are, yet again folding in the heat of summer, many of us will suffer and some will be pleased with their hired help, but no matter where you get your points it is welcomed with open arms.
In first place we have Shlouski with an impressive 58.6 million points, followed closely by Miker07 in second with 54,3 million point. I can already see the rivalry brewing between these turn time to fire up every fpu you've got and push hard for the title. Mxyzptlk is sitting in third
Well here we are, it only seems like last week we were all gathered here for a folding event but it was in fact many months ago.
We have 56 people signed up for the first leg of this sprint and it will be interesting to see how many make it to the finish line.
So you may notice that I am not my usual self recently, unfortunately I have progressed to the point of needing regular high strength opiates to manage my condition, tramadol and morphine are certainly an interest

Hi www
So over much time, I have been thinking about Intel graphics cards since before Intel themselves took it seriously..
In short.. Intel need to build a consumer-ship from scratch, and on every side they have the potential to be squeezed out of the market.
So with that in mind, I have some.. recommendations for the Intel Graphics Department..
1. you need a catchy name for your cards that has nothing

Hello everyone! I’m back at my home again, which is a lot like being out at my cabin but with Internet that’s twice as slow and three times more expensive. Tonight I wanted to take a look at an impressively bad article from The Verge (Wow! I bet you’re shocked! You probably thought “bad The Verge article” was an oxymoron!)
This absolute gem of a story can be considered a spiritual successor to the last time The Verge tried to perform a task for which an endless amount of documentatio
