    Age Related Decline

    I walked about 8 miles round trip today, but had to stop and sit down twice during the trip.

    Years ago, I used to walk 7 miles one way (14 round trip) a couple of nights a week to buy an after work snack (ice cream and cherry Coke).

    TG was mostly Funko Pop figures and pop culture stuff. A year ago Funko Pop was just something that @guizzy and @mitsu joke about.

    I'm not against it, but it brought to mind how out of touch I am with "pop culture".

    I should not have bought #coffee when I'm on a walk. I will be looking for a porta-potty soon.

    Mark text messaged in response to my voicemail asking whether he was watching the Braves vs Dodgers game: Of course I'm watching!

    Newest version of #Microsoft #OneDrive on #iOS crashes when one attempts to open it. I noticed it yesterday, as I was attempting to use 1D to move a photo from iPhone to laptop.

    I’m now hearing that it wasn’t just me.

    But seriously, why mess with OneDrive? It is just a more invasive and less functional clone of #Dropbox. Get Dropbox instead. Or #NextCloud.

    Still not feeling my best physically. I put that down to the work schedule and the road dog diet.

    And of course, the stress of continuing billing issues this trip must be a contributor.

    By the way, I don’t consider it bad that Trump chose Mastodon as the software for his social site. If you’re going to release software with FLOSS licensing, you have to be aware that people you dislike and disagree with may use it.

    There are so-called ethical source licenses (such as the JSON license that forbids its use for evil), but I question the ethicalness of such licenses.

    And that’s why I’m seeing commercials. I suspect that last night was the first time I watched TV in 2021.

    The #Dodgers are down three games to one in this best of seven series, but so far, they are leading in this game. Current score, #Braves 2, Dodgers 4; end/4.

    Apparently, Trump’s upcoming #socnet, TRUTH.SOCIAL, is based on #Mastodon. Which isn’t a bad decision, but the people managing the project do not know or care enough to follow the licensing requirements of the code, and it is unlikely that Mastodon’s copyright holder(s) and Mastodon GMBH will sue.

    Tip: certain older laptops stopped working with docking stations recently. The timing suggests a recent Windows update may have caused it. We’ve probably had 80% success rate by just replacing the docking stations with an older model. And about 30% success by running DCU to pull in newer BIOS and firmware updates, including drivers for the dock.

    The agency that rented the building installed dual external monitors on the desks of their section, so every other agency’s employees see them and beg for the same thing. Hence, docking stations and monitors being added to most desks.

    Tip: A recent update to #Edge takes over default handling for #PDF files. If your users need to do things Edge cannot, such as digitally sign, you will neex to change the default back to the prior software, such as Adobe products.

    Person 1: I'm making $150,000 and paying 34% in taxes.

    Tuned in to someone's game stream, but I couldn't figure out the point of the game. It is too late anyway.

    Going to bed. #sleepytime.
