it is on my housemate’s computer and as I’ve watched season one and two I’ve been walking on the spot… getting lots of steps… I am now on season three and hope to catch up to the current episodes on season four…
the show is about glass blowing and has been great fun to watch…
I have loved Dale Chihuly’s work and it is so fun to watch the participants produce their art…
on Thursday the blue screen of death showed up on the laptop…
apparently on Monday, when the camera kept failing during our video call, it was a harbinger of the computer’s end of life…
I spent quite a bit of time on Friday morning searching for the sales slip from January 2nd, 2020, when I purchased it in Ottawa, without success… I did find the record in my credit card statements, but after contacting Best Buy, discovered there was no extended warranty…
did some research and went to Best Buy… had a plan to purchase the same computer, but an updated version…
in the end I found a slightly higher quality machine and was happy they actually had it in the store… after consulting with my two computer geeks, brought it home and we spent time in the afternoon getting it filled with all “the stuff” I need…
the old machine fit beautifully into the box the new one came in, and will take a trip to my son-in-law to see if he is able to save anything on it…
I had some fun in the evening doing some personalization and making it my own, lol…
it will be interesting to see what I forgot I needed, lol…
tonight we had supper with my son-in-law in Ottawa… earlier today my daughter, on vacation in Europe, texted me that she’d had a burger for her lunch, in memory of her dad;-)…
we tried a new app called Viper, and it worked great… think I will use it again…
burgers were had by all… ours came from one of my beloved’s favourite burger places… and we even shared a chocolate milkshake here… it was delicious…
birthdays often seem hard, but coming together to share a meal is a lovely tradition to remember him…
and it is always such a delight when the technology works, lol…
had some fun the other evening when I watched a webinar on Mylio… it was a beautiful evening so I watched it on the deck…
I had tried the free version, and eventually bought the better one as I have so many pictures on my various pieces of technology…
one of the things it does is combine all your photos and remove duplicates… still working on that one, lol…
it also puts them in a calendar which can make finding them simpler than having to search through a bunch, guessing when the one you want may have been taken…
the photographer on the webinar mentioned that he no longer uses categories, because the program can find basically anything you ask for…
made me think I need to get back in there and play with it more;-)…
after some issues with the computer upstairs, it finally connected to the internet so I was able to work on the Mylio photo program I’d purchased a few months ago…
at last, after trying for a long time, it was able to delete duplicates pictures in my computer and laptop… I knew there were a lot and of the 192,000 images, it deleted 98,543…
it took hours, but the process has now been completed…
although, it found a whole bunch more photos… yikes…
going to need to spend some time deleting some of the multiples of various shots…
I am getting better at deleting excess shots right after I take them;-)…
I’ve been having trouble with the computer upstairs… for the last few weeks it kept advising that it wasn’t connected to the internet… tried many things, but nothing seemed to work… the wifi had been coming and going as well…
a few days ago I went to call MTS about my services and thought I should just take a quick look to be sure it was still disconnected…
and, of course, it connected right away, lol…
when I spoke with a technician, they advised they did something while we were on the call and it shouldn’t be a problem anymore…
I was working away on the computer in the den, all by myself, and was startled to hear a loud bang from upstairs…
ran up, asking Google to turn on the bedroom light, and discovered that the glass shelf beside the closet had fallen to the ground… it and the weights that were sitting on it were fine😳…
put everything back and wondered if it was a reminder that I need to start using the weights, rather than just admiring their beauty, lol…
