Cold. Clear. And damp. Some combination of those three seems to be the most likely… like yesterday. We started at 44F, got to high 60s with sun, which was very comfortable outdoors, and then back down when the sun set. I don’t know what the temps have been at the BOL, but I’m guessing lower. Time to winterize.
Did very little yesterday. One pickup. No, two pickups. Some kid taxi service. A tiny bit of poking at computers. Funny how little bitty tasks can suck up a whole day.
Won’t be able to do that today. I’ve got one pickup on the other side of town, then I need to get ready to head to the BOL. My plan was to go Friday afternoon, but now I think I might have to do stuff here on Saturday. I’ll know later today. In the mean time, I’ve got stuff to load and unload in the truck, shopping to do, and other preps that need to happen. At least I probably won’t be going to my client’s house. My sometimes business partner forgot to send the part I need to install.
I’ve got enough to do without spending a couple of hours on install and commissioning some new tech.

And not to get all doomer, but the Ukes shot US and UK missiles into Russia, and Putin responded with either an ICBM or a new mid range missile that it seems we didn’t really know about.
War is coming. Think hard about what it might mean to you. External, and internal wars are on the horizon. The elephants are getting ready to dance. We wee mice need to scamper…
and stack, because war ALWAYS leads to privation and hardship.

I always burn music at the lowest speed possible for the write.
The media may be fine, but if you’ve used the disc burner a lot for ripping, the laser may be the culprit.
Also, I’ve noticed new DVD-RW units are not as reliable about CDs, and BluRay drives even less so.
If I’m burning music, I have a ye olde Sony DVD-RW drive in my home server which is so old that the color is beige. I don’t think Sony even makes drives anymore.
Sun is starting to come up.
46F. Looks like it’ll be a clear day.
Coffee is made. Lunch is made. W is awake. Ds are still sleeping though. That won’t continue for long….
I should start my day.

I really despise the IEP (Individual Education Plan). For many students it is just a way to get special privileges that are not really deserved. An IEP that allows the student to use their cell phone? What a scam. Some students are using the IEP excuse to do things that are not in the IEP. Of course, the staff does not have access to the IEP so are getting conned by the students. Another load of crap foisted on the schools by the department of education.
When I was in school there was no IEP and students with issues were handled just fine by the school or the district. Once the feds got involved they borked the system 83 ways that make no sense.
And the student with the claimed IEP is using the phone to text, not for actual work. And there is nothing that can be done about it.
It’s pretty much here, at least in Europe with Ukraine. The question is, how will it develop further. There are two scenarios, neither of them pretty:
The only solution I see is to take out the Russian leadership, most especially Putin. This needs to be seen to be done by Ukraine, regardless of who is actually responsible.
My iPhone 14 pro arrived Wednesday. Finally. I first one I ordered got delayed several times and then was canceled. Tried to buy an Apple refurbished one directly from them but they were unable to process any of my credit cards. Ordered this one from Amazon and had it overnight.
I thought I needed a sim for it and couldn’t fine one to buy. After a copuple of hours discoverd that the iPhone has an embedded sim. Ting which claims to support Apple products doesn’t support the iPhone 14 so I had top find a new carrier. Decided to use Boost (which owns Ting). Bought their minimal $25 a month plan.
Started th activation process. After four phone calls to Boost I figured out that they won’t activate a new account for 24 hours don’t ask me why.
Did get my meassage and contact data copied to the iPhone but none of my apps or photos or music has been moved. No idea how to do that yet. I use a dozen apps regularly and cannot determine which ones the iPhone will support. MS Office is supported but Color Notes is not and I have a dozen files I’ll have to reenter into some apps – about 200 sixty line pages a real time sink.
Ze old days are back, ja.
No German missiles yet, however. Even if the government in Berlin had not collapsed, the Luftwaffe still hasn’t figured out how to alter the GPS systems to direct the flight path anywhere but into Poland.
Thank you Jeremy Clarkson.
Cue John Barrowman.

@bob, dunno anything about the apple migration process, but there must be a way to two step your unsupported stuff to the phone, without doing all the data reentry by hand.
Text? Pdf? Save it as something, or “export” it?
