having a nightmare getting various wsus servers to update as well as clients who just will not download updates from ms update servers.

not convinced problem doesn't lie with corporate network somehow.

monday morning and no power.

trying to keep sparrows out of the garage, they seem to breed every 2-3 weeks, never realised. They're such a darn messy pest.

welcome to sunday morning.

1.75 hrs mowing the lawns, only 2/3rds done. time for adult refreshments as we enter the evening hours. Listening to some classic REM.

and ... solved my wsus update probs.

Can’t turn brain off to go to sleep

I go to bed and read a paper based publication, that always sends me off.

The base OS is becoming less important each year IMO. This is enraging it really is.

Kind of. It's less in your face. But it is still where performance, security, and a lot of features come from. We just pay less attention to it year after year. And I think that that is mostly only true in the Windows world. Outside of that world, the base OS remains just as relevant and in the spotlight as ever.

That Windows 10 causes so many headaches from getting the basics wrong, really highlights just how important the base OS remains.

I think you're 100% spot on there, a well considered opinion.

fortunately this is happening to my #2 laptop, my main laptop is still OK .. for now, but it's put the start of my work day back 1.5 hours.
I'm thinking of linux for my desktop more and more, but if I do that then my W10 desktop knowledge will drop off as I won't be using it.

Ahhhhhh! Windows 10 update! Installing update for the last 80 or so minutes, stuck at 81% for at least 30 minutes.

The base OS is becoming less important each year IMO. This is enraging it really is.

new years eve plans are the same as most other years. say awake until about 10:30pm, go to bed fall asleep and be woken up at midnight by fireworks.

get up look at fireworks and get back to sleep at about 1ish.

More than a whole day of it left here.

Use it wisely, it's our most precious resource.

well that's another chrissy day done with, now to work on the personal physical remnants of yesterday's over indulgence. Or just go down to the beach again?

28 degress C = beach time.

christmas day, let the over consumption begin!

33 degress C & off to the beach!

monday morning coffee. Who's working today?

Sunday here still, but I am.

it can be a tough gig working on 12/24 or 24/12. I've found it's either very very slow or a disaster occurs.
hope your day goes well.

monday morning coffee. Who's working today?

good sunday morning to you all. blue skies & sunshine.
expecting something around 26 degrees C for the 25th.
