Morning! Up at 4:00, at work now.
Feeling great.

Hey everyone! I am up and relaxing with a coffee. Son still sleeping off the excitement of yesterday! He ended up in my bed with his new giant stuffed animal snake (which is around 20 feet long!), so not the most comfortable night for me!

good morning

apparently - trying to use picasa was a huge mistake

get it OFF my computer - it has taken over... aaaaaaaaaaaggghhhhhhh

Hellllo. I'm feeling better this morning. Ridiculously because the number has changed on some made-up form of time tracking. The 26th is no different from the 25th in bimville, just less emotionally charged. Today I am getting out of the house - I never even got dressed yesterday. Lame.

I don't know what Boxing Day is, but I have this:

The Day to give your Servants a Gift, Bim...

Wikipedia

'Boxing Day is a holiday traditionally celebrated the day following Christmas Day, when servants and tradesmen would receive gifts, known as a "Christmas box", from their bosses or employers, in the United Kingdom, Barbados, Canada, Hong Kong, Australia, Bermuda, New Zealand, Kenya, South Africa, Guyana, Trinidad and ...'

In other News, I'm just glad it worked out fortuitously where I posted that Animal Butt Mirror Pic from Moab in which MB could take Weas's excellent Advice, and reflect. It's the least I could do. If I could do less, I would...

'Twas an Alcohol-free Dinner and Evening 'round MesaVille, so I'm grateful for that. Excellent Prime Rib. Asparagus. A small Baked Potato which - unlike Dan Quayle - I know how to spell.

Further Gratitude is sent out to the Universe because I don't live next to this Guy. Synchronized Lights set to Roller Rink Music...

Well, that's why I have no need to know about boxing day, then.

Servants. I missed that little boat.

Oh, I know, LB. I had to take it off my computer too. You can still use ***** pictures without installing Picasa, I think. I dunno - I rarely use ***** pictures any more. It wants to be the default program. Annoying.

I'm not really enjoying Windows 10 that much. I'm not about to buy a new version of Office, either - I just bought the last one with this computer last year. Office is expensive! It still seems to work just fine. We'll see. I do not like this new browser you have to use with 10 ("Edge".)

So far the best thing about 10 is that it gives me cool lock screen pictures. Stunning, and they change frequently.

Up, showered and ready to face the day. First thing on my list today is breakfast. Time to get to cutting up some red potatoes for some home fries and get the bacon and eggs ready. Going to be delicious!

biminiblue, I just upgraded one of my computers to Windows 10 as well and I'm not loving some of the bugs about it. My desktop icons keep rearranging themselves which is annoying and I had to go in and change my default programs back to the ones I prefer for photos, music and change my browser back to Chrome. Thankfully, my MacBook Air that I use in bed doesn't have these problems, haha.

biminiblue

I keep reporting bugs, I'm sure everyone else does, too - there are a million topics in the Windows 10 feedback site. I dunno, I'm stuck with it now. I doubt I'll go back to 7, but I liked 7.

Go back to 7! Forced updates and settings, major privacy issues with Windows 10. Google it, I'm typing from the road.

Switch to Linux Mint, either Cinnamon or KDE desktop.
Ranked # 1 Linux Distro
Everything's free. Everything works. Burn a DVD with *.iso

Where were you guys when I was here asking about 10? Hmm?

Not switching OS, sorry not sorry. It is what it is. I will deal.

Hoo Hah...

I guess Dinosaur Dude, here, will stick with Win 7 on this old Laptop. It ain't broke...

Welp, this being a Musical Thread and all, here's a caustically-funny one for our Resident Wordsmiths, as well as those who could take/leave Xmas.

Usability and compatibility in Linux are still lacking, unfortunately.

Well, having convinced my son that we cannot go out to a restaurant with him wearing just his new superman underwear and dinosaur socks ("yes, I know they are awesome, but I really do not think everyone will want to see them, you need clothes on top" and "no, I don't think going round the tables asking people if they want to see your underwear is a good move") we are about to leave for lunch with "grandma", my "American mom".

Have fun all

It's come a long way.
Can add/remove 73,000 + apps at will. For free.
Printers, scanners, webcams, mics, speakers, wireless, usb devices all work.
No drivers needed.
No security apps needed.

biminiblue

Yeah, Mesa, I liked 7. The worst part about 10 is that they removed the Media Center. I have no idea what to do about that.

Not looking for a solution, I'm just venting. I also have the Google here.
