September 6, 20196 yr Most people don't fall off things nearly as often as you, but still sound advice. [emoji41]Indeed! [emoji23]
September 7, 20196 yr Well the new rig is as complete as it can be until the 3950x shows up(3600x for now, I'll move it into an office rig). All in a lian li dedk case. In the desk there is a power strip and a usbc desktop hub for my laptop to plug into so I can use my monitor kb, mouse etc with the same peripherals as my desktop. Only cables from the desk are ethernet and one power. I could cut that to just power but I lik weird net. Also I really like the height adjust, I work standing a lot. Super easy to build in.
September 9, 20196 yr Not today, but yesterday. Completed the Kelly Brush Century for the second year running. Trained hard, cut about 30min off my previous time and had a ton of fun with the same group of guys that I've been doing these rides with for the last 7 years.
September 9, 20196 yr Well Done! Since I couldn't go to Denver to be with you crazies I did a little vinyl listening- A acetate master Played on this Made louder with this and a bottle of Franciacorta Then made really loud and clear through these
September 10, 20196 yr Thanks everyone, I actually posted the wrong image - I was comparing last year to this year - but nonetheless, yes, very happy with how things went. The time quoted in the image includes all stops, including time to help a friend change a flat. Moving average was 18.6mph. Correct Ride Data
September 12, 20196 yr My local transfer station (we called it a dump in my day) has a new "swap shop." Last night I carefully packed up a humidifier my father bought in the 1990s (I still had the original box) as well as my ca. 2013 3 PCI slot 275W TDP video card, and a Drobo I bought from ...one of you Head-Casers. I managed to get my ca. 1996 LaserJet IV+ working with my current MacBook Pro (it's got a network card, so it's just an IP and some Gutenprint.) After years of buying one shit-tastic inkjet printer after another, I love my dorm-fridge-sized-black-and-white-only-it-works-every-fucking-time-without-fail laser printer. New ink is like $150, but it lasts half a decade. Real printers make your lights dim when they power on. I used said LJ4+ to print out descriptions and basic instructions for the Drobo and the video card, because I knew no one at the dump would have a blinkered clue WTF they were. The attendant was quite pleased because he didn't know a GPU from an IED. Given how well the whole exchange went, I'm going to be divesting myself a lot of more things like it in the next few weeks. I did consider putting the Drobo and GPU on Craigslist or sodding Facebook marketplace, but given the horror stories I've heard I'd rather just be rid of them than try to extract $50 out of them at the cost of (what's left of) my sanity. Related: Anyone need FOUR Yamaha NS-1000s speakers? Late 80s vintage, they have a midrange driver that sells for like $250 bare.
September 13, 20196 yr Good stuff, Dan....dump exchanges seem to be getting more popular....I've heard people talk about several in the past couple months. Keep forgetting where, though. As for those NS1000's, throw THOSE on Craigslist I'd say, or maybe on another site like Audio Asylum as local-only. There indeed should be folks willing to pay for those beryllium drivers....
September 14, 20196 yr I knocked a minute per mile off my speed on my evening walk. You real runners aren't going to be impressed, but I'm very happy I have my aerobic base back. https://www.mapmyrun.com/workout/3790273684?fbclid=IwAR1rg02aAxnT44NGOPrj-zJHUOhlP8nrnEOjLn46l1KQpyJLVf5DBZXFRSY
September 21, 20196 yr I have one again tried to get by with a video card on air.. But I hate dust busters, so had to order a water block and throw together a loop with what I had around. The sound of silence!
October 1, 20196 yr Took an early lunch to watch The Red Arrows fly over The Golden Gate as part of their North American Tour, 2019 Nice day! Edited October 1, 20196 yr by Grahame
October 2, 20196 yr More imagery of yesterday's flypast from different vantage points ( and the camera plane) https://www.instagram.com/rafredarrows/?hl=en via: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/10051621/red-arrows-golden-gate-bridge-san-francisco/
October 3, 20196 yr That is a fine sight. No precision flying team does it like the Red Arrows. Good to see them strutting their stuff in the US.

October 10, 20196 yr 3 miles, ~16.5 minute miles (I've been plateauing around 17.5 minute miles) https://www.mapmyrun.com/workout/3839903287
