I saw that. I'm going to see how the onboard blocker works without uBlock Origin.

YouTube link Crude, lewd & raw. Foul language for those who get offended. Vic says it straight.

Just finished episode 3 of The Mandalorian. Pretty cool so far.
Although, I have to admit that while watching it, I'm waiting for a Dead Pool moment.
As to what took me so long to watch it? I'm currently ignoring the 3rd play through of all the High School Musicals. I really love both of my daughters. Gawd, I need a man cave.

Compiling final info on EMV (chip card readers) for outside fuel dispenser upgrades. Flying brand flags makes things so needlessly complex. We have 4 brands across 9 locations. Two are really great to work with, the other two? Meh.
It could always be worse. I could be lumped in with a massively huge group of unemployed. Blessings counted.

Looking through setting for Emby Media server.

Been a while since I've tried Emby Media server.

I've been running Kodi using Emby as a backend. It's seamless, and displays through the Kodi frontend. And it transcodes on the fly. I've played a 4K movie transcoded to my laptop over WiFI without blocking or skipping once.

Into the Woods.
My youngest daughter loves it.

My favourite musical ever. Watched the original BP version so many times. And saw the revival on broadway. Had dinner before show and Vanessa was literally at the table next to us! So cool.

Well written, well put together, well performed. I can appreciate it. I have the same opinion about The Fifth Element. Seamless, related transitions, giving a great sense of continuity. To me it's like 'watching' a well written book.

Listening to some of the more complex Zappa tunes, counting time signatures.

My 1st Zappa album was Just Another Band From LA. Awesome stuff. Now I'm going to have to go find it.

Yeah, that'll work

I've been home since last Thursday. Our office is sending out the last group for remote work today. Our fuel delivery services are still active and we are keeping a close watch on things. The one bright spot is that our people are still getting paid.

Our home sending plans have stalled because I can't get softphones on iOS to reliably stay registered with FreePBX. Android doesn't seem to have any issue.

We're using twinning between our deskphones and the users cellphones. At least the cells are company issue. We are in much better shape than many others and I am very grateful for that.

@WrCombs I only need $80K to be in the clear.

@WrCombs Play the lottery -- quick pick

I ended up with hot and loopy. Can't have everything, but I'll take it.

@WrCombs Sales? You'll need to hone your pen stealing skills quickly.

@WrCombs Then why is sales messaging or calling me at 9:00 PM?
GRrRRRrrrr

@WrCombs Oh yeah.

@WrCombs Folks are getting kinda bold. Good thing most thieves don't look up.
