Arrgh ..... goes green after injectable fast acting steroid.
Who's On First ? : Seriously this just happened to me. I have a online facility to keep track of my CPD ( continuing professional development ) points. I have to log various activities to show that I appear to give a crap about keeping up with the latest in my field ( whether I actually do keep up or not is my pleasure, the key feature is to display the appearance of same ). I mislaid the code to get in plus the password. I don't let the browser remember these. So I ring the lovely lady at the help desk who can reset stuff for me. She does. I ask :
Quote:
Me: What's the password.
She : Password.
Me : Yes.
She : Lower case.
Me : Great, what is it.
She : password.
Me : Yes, that.
She : password lower case.
Me : Indeed. Please tell.
She : I did.
.... rather long pause ....
Me : Ah. Got it. Lower case password.
She : Anything else ?
Me : Thank you kindly. I'm good now. You have been very helpful.
So there you have it. I have now altered the password to something less meaningful. Any comments ? Dementia estimates are welcomed .... :-) :-)
Cheers, Mike.

[RANT] Sadly I hear rumors that Netflix is wanting to soil my experience with ads. I pay them to not give me ads. That's why I enrolled. To watch stuff without ads. No ads. Only what I choose, no more and no less. My money to them -----> no ads. Otherwise I'd be watching plain old TV etc at a fraction of the cost. No sneaky trials. No putting the toe in the water to see if the viewer market will tolerate. No boiling the frog slowly. The moment they put the very first ads on - even to promote other content and regardless of whether it hits my personal retinas - I'm outta there. Ads ------> none of my money to them. Not one cent. I'm not going to call them to tell them that. No signalling. We'll just see if they can get that out of their own heads. [/RANT]
Cheers, Mike.
( edit ) In case it was not clear : it is an insult for me to take on a vendor's financial risk/cost of advertising. That is their chance to take. I am not to contribute to the profitability of a company I have no contract with nor seek to. If I wanted that then I would buy shares in said vendor. If I didn't buy shares then I didn't want that risk. You can't slurp on both sides of the trough ....

If you use Firefox or any of the Chrome based browsers uMatrix is another handy and highly tweakable add-on.

Dear Sirs : we only have some leftovers from last nite's Gala Ball :
Pardon Sirs, that was indeed a Galah Ball :
so technically it is not Pavlova but a Fruit Serve .... intravenous anyone ?? :-)
Cheers, Mike.
( edit ) Sirs : DownUnda all males are born with an extra stomach. It is called the Pavlova Stomach. It is only ever used for eating Pavlova. There is a special valve in the gullet which diverts to it during the swallowing process. That way no matter how much other food type you have eaten already, there will always be room for Pavlova.
( edit ) My apologies Sirs. We do have an alternate to the Pavlova after all. There is some fossilised dinosaur dung if you prefer :
.... your call entirely. :-)

Just a general hello because I haven't been here in a while.
Okay, fine, I'll throw in a few medical problems too.
I probably mentioned previously that my knee was hurting. It was just getting back to normal when I fell down at the museum on Sunday. Nothing serious, but I did something to the side of my knee, or just below it. It got stiff and sore, to the point that driving home I could barely move my foot from the gas to the brake. The easiest thing to do was walk, but it's a looooooooooooooooong walk home from the museum.
But that wasn't what I bugged my doctor about. I somehow got a very personal-type infection (no, not from a lady (or man)). I still think it was related to taking Invokana. So last week I was bugging my doctor via the hospital's web message system about that and that I really want off the Invokana because I think it gets me dangerously close to dehydration. Her nurse finally told me to come in to see the nurse practitioner about my infection. That visit resulted in my weight being down nine pounds from the last time, and in a prescription for an antibiotic. Need I elaborate on the side effects of that? It seems to be working, though. The doctor finally got back to me after several days and reminded me the real reason she put me on Invokana was for weight loss and it appears to be working. I said I'd give it another week.
Meanwhile, I finally got to have lunch with my friend who is back from eleven years in Japan and his daughter, who is six and speaks about that many words of English. For reasons I won't go into, he is spoiling her rottener than any child I have ever seen. He taught her my name with a Japanese accent. One of the half dozen words she has learned is "preeeease-ah" (or something like that). She's exceedingly cute, though. And energetic.
I stayed in the house all day yesterday and today (planned train ride to St. Louis canceled because my other friend who was in charge of the private car charter got sick and didn't want to be serving food; just as well I didn't go, with the antibiotic). Even without the current medical issues, I don't like when it's 90F out. I'm seeing my sleep doctor tomorrow, though, so I have to go out.
