mmm, I wouldn’t have thought there was probably much of a demand for that much pr0n up there.
Mmm, but then again, it is heaven after all…
and sorry for delay. I am currently writing from several different dissasociated parts of my Mac as I again spent some hours getting it to work and now have the battery disconnected.
I think the SMC or Motherboard is loosing the will to live… luckily I’m not just yet.
However, considering the above, heaven is starting to look appealing, what with internet and all…
hahah a haaa! oh good thanks! that is just what I needed I
I didnt realise I did but now I do
I now have to apparently take all the stuff back up to England that I spent a week packing and clearing out from my dead friends rat infested, dope smoke stained house and the lunatics on the ex animal sanctuary set their dogs on my horses and promptly blew up a petrol covered fired next to my feed shed as I was bringing them in to feed and I wanted to kill them.
SO xmas time in Heaven.
yeah!
Oh and the Mac is sort of working again now and I am typing to you off various disassociated parts of it I think its a bit deeper than the graphic card but very odd!
OH! and a storm yes, forgot that. mostly drenched here
tra la la….Its Xmas time in Heaven…every single daaaAAAYYYYaaiii Sing along everybody!
OH man! this Mac is REALLY suffering now, weirdness on the screen galore!
2 days of rebooting trying to get it to start, then, erm, some hippy weirdness and it managed it, but dang!
there are some pretty funky artifacts to be seen!
Not sure just how long this will be running for.
oh and the dead friend who’s house I had to empty?
well, the Probate/guy didnt write a will so we take it all and say who gets what …people
Have got in touch and say they want it all back.
Fun fun fun.
My van is stuck to the floor, suspension groaning, house full to the brim of the last few collated dead friends stuff and now this.
ha!
Still, my horses are fine and funky and frozen and wet and covered in mud so today I made them a nice warm winter warmer hot mash to eat…oh the ears! the ears! you should see the ears…just flop down to the side as they go ooooooooh…aaaaah and eat.
oh yes, web stuff too…erm. um… good thing this is a random channel
Oh well, mac died again. Pretty terminal graphics this time I fear
Gah!
Reiki ain’t no long term cure for Silicon based systems.
Damn,at least I tried.back on the android tablet and emptying my van of dead guys stuff and moving stuff around so I can get to a laptop…somewhere
And ten days later here I am!
unofortunatley , now back, to a LAPTOP! - leaning across boxes of stuff but…
ITs a PowerPC processor, so , still no Pinegrow for me!
Curses.
I now have a sick horse and an INSANE Probate solicitor threatening me and a friend with legal action unless we return OUR dead FRIENDS stuff- for them to then again remove and sell with a house clearence! Nuts.
So i have had to resuscitate this old laptop to compose my reply to them.
Cheers!
oh the joy of it all.!
Its now quarter to11 at night, just got back after having spent a lovely few hours with them, in the sun -but freezing, which was fun, as I had to do ariver crossing to get to them. (shortcut…kind of )
gave Summer her Meds, (now down to 3.33 - from 100 a day in july )
Then give Sky her pre and probiotics… and Dioralytes for… yes, wait for it…
Fecal Water Syndrome… yes my friends, my life is continuing its ever downward yet, entertaining downward spiral and I am now truly … in the s…h…*…t!
So yes, this wannabe web guy, whose first horse with a big hole in the neck, then had his second horse develop a very rare auto immune disorder, which nearly killed it and now the first horse , nearly over the neck thing after a year…has
a
new
…bum… thing!
So, not only do I have to take everyone elses sh*t in order to just get on…
now, it looks like, my horses will!!
Will do! heading up there now.- was composing the Probate solicitors letter - then… the PowerPPC powerman died! aaargh. 3 flashing powere button LEDs… this is relentless!
now on the 667MHZ TITANIUM (woo hoo) PowerPC powerbook.
My Mac is alive again… well, in a ZOMBIE kind of way
Clamshell mode baby!
I found a DVI adapter for the video output and… it works!
but only if I quickly turn it on and slam the little minx’s lid shut pretty quick, with an external keyboard and mouse connected.
Then, the display swaps from the closed screen to the external one!
current resolution is aweful,
…not so much Retina as Rectum.
Ha!
and I here I am!
on an Older Firefox derived browser (Waterfox 56.2.11)
as it shows this forum and some other sites that otherwise fail to render, AND… I cant upgrade blah blah and it’s
a 2007 white macbook, with …El Capitan… now, what number OS is this, and what version of PineGrow can I run?
Oh crap, battery about to die.
I had to strip it an resolder the cells. Ok till laters
OH yes, and the Internet died at my place last night, in the torrential rain.
But… cant complain, It IS … free wifi, from a neighbours, into a DD-WRT’d SysLink repeater/bridge, which sends the Network to the GEEKORIUM room, via a pair of ethernet over mains power adapters…where it goes into a few switches…and wifi repeater, SO it actually APPEARS like… I have the Internet
And I just spent the day stood with my poor horses, in Storm, whatever it is called, in pretty full on rain , RIGHT NEXT to the flooded Tawe river in the Swansea valley - which burst up under the river defences last week, geysering up through the ground, after tracking along the Large mains gas pipe that goes under the swollen river… as I was being assaulted by the lunatics from the ex horse sanctuay next door, whilst watching them pull the poor suicide guy out of the river at the bottom of of my fields…
SO no internet for few hours, and I just spent them with my clothes hanging up infront of my friends fire, (who is on Day 4 of Giving up smoking along with his partner who is on day 2 - My! what a fun visit that was!) drying out my clothers and am now back home, to find I have SOME Internet connectivity, Great!
Life is too short to whine about stuff sometimes (oooh! this has just started charging again! great)
Lets have a look at some web stuff and see if my old faithful will fire up too (and this batter has just stopped charging agian. grrr SMC resets and some more soldering probably…)
Nuts…and now that little white macbook is constantly crashing and shuuting down due to hardware,a few minutes after booting.they fans sound like meat grinders, so maybe time to strip it and check those-as well as sorting the weird battery charging stuff.
Now writing g this on the tablet again…mmm yes, most definitely NOT a pro web dev, but more a highly persistent hobbyist Bastler
UPDATE!
no it wasn’t!
It was shutting down due to… WATERFOX!
gah!
it takes out the whole OS. makes you have to press the Powerbutton for hard reset it you
…download anything.
open downloads window
Open a private tab
open About:config to try and check and do something about it.
took lots of figuring out until I came across the complaints about the downloads.
I only used Waterfox so that I could download things to take home to my dying mac with no display… so Id walk somewhere, find an internet connection, get excited, browse for the latest PG download or whatever, in the dark , squatting behind a car or suchlike and BANG… crash… 3 times or more, battery dies, walk home, wanting to frisbee computer into a bin
So it turns out on Mac OS Lion 10.7.5 … if you go above Waterfox 56.2.11 Classic
your in for a world of frustration.
This was a pain to find, so here is a link.
where you will find it.
Also, I have now installed the Legacy version of Firefox Quantum by ParrotGeek of Dosdude1 hacked mac Installer fame (he helps make the legacy device drivers)
for my version of 10.7.5 Lion os.
and if anyone is wondering why on earth I am writing all of this, it is because this is what other people on budgets/poorer states may be doing to view your information/stunning websites, so if you content is meant to cater for this sort of clientele too, then it will give you some idea of the hoops they have to jump through view/not be able to view your content, so that you can adjust /tweak accordingly.
Ha! are you kidding me? that was a GOOD day! but
I NOW HAVE INTERNET ( friend lent me a dongle thingy)
and so I am stil on the white macbook now typing this, but they can BOTH now get to Internet! woo hoo. THis quantum seems fine on this
And now, my display less macbook, can fire up on an external monitor and work… until it too crashes! That can run the latest PG … between crashes… grrr, dylib.lib or suchlike high in the crash traces. need to sniff around.
but, there you have it.
and rained yesterday, a bit, so the mud filled fields, which then turned to spikey, baked mud dust bowls in the past week of baking 20 C has now dropped to a state of normal
now waiting for grass to burst forth. woo hoo.
For my my horsey lady friends to feast upon! Chomp!
AH, life, tis but a challenge to wonder over
And I’ve also just had a birthday
I got some cake!.. by accident, but I dont care
Yay! happy MeMas! Cheers.
How are tricks over there with your good self?
I had a really (un)Eventful birthday, with everyone hiding from each other over here, BUT… did get two books Id lent out posted back to me …
WITH A HOME MADE CAKE in the parcel! woo hoo!
and…3 texts…no cards.
Wow, Im as popular in the real world as I am here hee hee
In other news…after having been making great initial progress in learning CSS Grid , with the Mozilla docs…and working on my horsey blog,
well… the weather is JUST TOO NICE here…so I was spending quite some time with the horses and then calling in on a mate on the way back home how has multiple Sclerosis, to check all was well with him (sitting outside his house, under a car port, with wifi) but was not getting home till 11-12 most most nights, so that took its toll after a month or so of that so coming home earlier now and the current fascination for my tiny squirrel like mind is
SEWING!
Oh yes! sewing machines! fantastic things.
Horses are large., like much bigger than a dog …or a chicken…or a , well you get the idea.
And we keep them outside, in Wales…where it rains a lot and freezes.
Not very nice for a big furry beast. So we put coats and rugs on them, to ease our guilt.
Horses werent designed to wear clothes.
They have hooves. Have you ever tried doing up buttons and velcro with hooves?
Or teeth?
It doenst end well, so they tend to use trees and barbed wire fences to Take them off… if they feel inclined to do so.
This usually leaves you with £30-£40 worth of shredded material laying usually , in horse manure, as a loving touch to say thank you …
Now, if you see the size of the holes they rip… and then see the size of a sewing needle… it can be a daunting/demoralising task.
Enter…the… SEWING MACHINE!
tadaaaa!!!
And I have a few of these I have laying around (well, stacked neatly on metal shelving in my bedroom, which, after all is where all geeks with a non existent romantic life keep piles of kit… dont they >? please say its not just me!)
Well, I have no started watching these, by this incredibly English, school Ma’m type, - I really like her instructional techniques though. like your favourite infant school teacher who doesnt teach down to you…
Made to Sew
and their youtube channel for beginners of course )
and
This American chap.
and now sewing is amazing!
I have just replaced the fly zip on my trousers, reinforced the Crotch, which I always destroy… (as I have a 36" inside leg, and no one makes trousers for Giraffes, so , they get stretched and wrecked)
and then… sown on a button… WITH A SEWING MACHINE!! woo hoo.
Then, I started on my rucksacks… oh yeah baby, fix fix fix…
and now… remember those horse coats? with BIG holes
Mwaa haaa haaa…
Come to me, my precioussssssh
SO, I have set up a table (between windows in bedroom…yes, TWO windows! wow. Never had a room with 2 windows in wall before, all rooms been too small)
and today I hope to clear the back yard and put a table outside.
Oh and put one in the kitchen too.
NOTE!.. I have the smallest kitchen in the world. possibly not
IT doesnt even have a kitchen sink! too small.
UPdate … didnt clear the back yard…
but got another sewing machine.
Damn you ebay!
