Cookie

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich, as well as the poor, to sleep under the bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.

That Damned Software Company (Again)

They left Windows Help support out of Windows. And then messed up their website so a bogus version of “GenuineCheck.exe” is invoked, so one can’t download it. Multiple layers of idiocy and incompetence! And they’ve had years to fix it, and haven’t.

Tokina Z-210 85-210 f/4.5 Zoom User Manual

Piece of my photographic history; my first zoom lens.  I used it on Pentax screw mount and Nikon AIS. Ran across the paper manual the other day, and it seems a shame to just throw it out — so I scanned it and then threw it out.

Lousy Power Reliability

We’ve had 6 events long enough to get logged by my UPS on this system in the last 4 weeks.

Total outage time was rather higher, I shut down fairly early in the long power failure and went to bed.
