MOrning all. Been super busy with travel and filming stuff. How is everyone doing?

Heading to Managua today to see the National Theater.

Been a weekend I don’t wish to repeat though it hasn’t been terrible.
Dad (85 yo) fell Friday and broke his hip. Surgery yesterday to replace went well. And is in good spirits other wise… it’s difficult being so far away should he need more help.
Fortunately the house has no stairs once inside,.. and that and PT should do okay in recovery.
A lot to do,.. a lot done,.. and zero work stress!
-
Back to the grind trying to find enough coffee
-
Headed out to another site to sort some stuff, got home and the rest of the family has the flu...
Not how I expected the day to go at all. -
well the bootcamped mac has finally been replaced with a dell inspiron 1650. not a bad machine. build quality isn't bad, not up to the mac standard, but neither is the price.
so far so good. only gripe i have is that when doing not a lot and listening to streaming music i get that buffering/staggering sound occassionally. i got the i5 with 16gb. maybe i should have got the i7. too late now.
-
@siringo I can't find "dell inspiron 1650" are you sure it's correct model number?

could be a wireless issue, not a processor one - or the HDD, etc..
