• My activities for the week of stardate 19758 are/is

Posted: **Tue Feb 06, 2024 11:56 pm**

This week is off to a good start. Got my new TV hung up over the weekend. Only took 12 hours because I'm an autistic perfectionist. Sprayed my yard for weeds today during lunch. Had bought some "brain pills" from umzu.com a few days ago and the package already arrived. That was nice because last time I bought from them it took two weeks. The box was much larger than needed to be for two small pill bottles which left me with some guilt. Upon lifting the package, it weighted way too much so I knew I was in for a surprise. Looks like they dumped someone else's order into mine.

Looks like I got someone's instant coffee, testosterone and thyroid junk. I'll take the coffee and testie pills. I'll find some old person to donate the thyroid stuff to. Currently mixing and matching these goodies together. Time to get high

Hmm, also seems doing these topics ever week is a bit much. But just having one a month seems too long.

Maybe something like "My bi-weekly activities for the week of.."?

For today, I'm going to stare out the window next to my office desk all day instead of working because I got a sore throat and feel a little under the weather

Feel worse today than yesterday. Pretty lame since I haven't left the house in like 2 weeks.

Felt crappy this morning. But after eating for breakfast burritos my loving wife made, I'm much better. Chest felt like hot lava poured into it. But better now. Also awoke to an ambulance taking my grandpa back to the hospital. Pneumonia still. Le sigh. And supposed to rain all day tomorrow. Will be stuck inside. Maybe I'll make a thread about it??

Wendy's has breakfast burritos now. I think I will try them tomorrow.

Be sure to leave a report in the hemorrhoid thread.

So I sort of laid around all day and evening Friday. Right when I was about to "go to work", I heard my son complaining to my wife in the other room. He has sort of commandeered an old linux desktop a few weeks ago. He discovered he could turn it on and go to 'amazon.com' where he can lust over lego sets I'll never buy him. But anyway, sometimes the monitor fails to be detected, old cord or something, and you have to jiggle stuff and reboot a few times. So it was during one of those episodes Friday night, when I just said YOLO and also installed Minecraft. But getting that running on a 6 year old out of date linux OS was another can of worms. Nearly two hours later though and I had it up and going.

Of course that lead to brother and sister fighting over who gets to play next and that lead to me digging up my old work laptop and getting Minecraft also running on that. A bonus is now they can be networked together and they can both be in the same world. But other than novelty, I don't really see the point of "multiplayer" Minecraft.

I will leave one here. Overall 6/10. It has potential if the people making it tried to make it good. The egg is fresh cracked and fried as advertised but has no salt/pepper on it. There is no sauce in the burrito, just melted american cheese. They only have bacon as a meat ingredient. There are supposed to be roasted potatoes but they were scarce and I did not taste them. It comes with a couple of packets of Cholula sauce, which I support, but would go better with a better burrito. Would love to see diced tomatoes in there.

I have my kids playing Minetest, it's free and cross-platform. I'm using my 2008-era Toshiba laptop with a Centrino processor and 4 GB of RAM running Ubuntu 22.4 and it runs at a solid 15 FPS with graphics settings turned down. I have an Windows 10 latop from 2018 that I will set up and it will run as a server and the two kids build out things together until one gets bored and starts destroying things the other has built. There are mods for it, one particular one called MineClone which basically turns it into Minecraft. I also have it running on my old LG V20 Android phone and have hooked up a dongle so that it would output to my 42 inch 720p TV with a keyboard/mouse. This works okay but is a big pain to set up.

You can always sell your kids to finance a newer more powerful computer. However, if you want the latest upper tier Nvidia card, I think you need to sell at least 3 kids. Bummer.

Didn't really work. Just installed Minecraft on my work laptop and then joined my kid's LAN game.
