Looking like next week's meals will be Aloo Pakora. Upside: Very low calorie. Downside: Very high carbs. It's, like, 90% potatoes.

Just a reminder that while Canada is better than us when it comes to trans support, it's not perfect. Granted, this is Alberta, Canada's Texas, but this will kill kids if she can get this legislation through.

And as we've seen - this isn't about the kids. It's just the foot in the door to getting at trans people in general.

Testing the printer with the new wiring setup. My little fashion plate me looks like an animation cel.

Oh, man. Who would have thought the store brand hot wings would be better than Tyson? Tyson gives you Big Wings, but very light on buffalo flavor. The store brand is smaller wings, but they pile on the sauce.

@socketwench - It looks like the Big Box Set I have no longer is in print, but the individual pieces are:

Ever have a craving so strong, you simply have to torpedo a diet to have it? At least hot wings aren't really carby....

[Thoughts Before Bed]

I miss 1997. And 1992.

Good times....

Sometimes I worry that I'm losing some of my brain-meat-thinks.

The last few days, my brain has decided that "localhost" which I use for my Plex media server is now "internalhost." I know it's not internalhost, it's LOCALhost. But now my brain and fingers type out "internalhost" most everytime I try to write "localhost."

Watched some TV with a friend today, and the audio on my old headphones cut out pretty badly. So I connected my bluetooth headphones, and forgot that the bluetooth on this PC is horrid (seriously, you put the bluetooth on the BACK of the PC, knowing full well the PC itself is blocking the signal?!).

Between this and the stylus dying, I kinda had enough, and decided to do some serious rejiggering of the PC stations.

First off, waste not want not, I took the pen display and just made it a secondary monitor. I can run movies on it while working on stuff here. For the bluetooth, I took the USB extender and an old Bluetooth dongle, and plugged it into the PC, disabling the onboard Bluetooth.

Everything seems to be working now, and now I can crowd the hell out of TWO screens.

Bluetooth works now, and a new pen display is coming. We'll see how that is coming. I'm not happy about having to drop a lot of money on it, but a friend helped finance it, so I'm grateful. :)

My room is a wreck, though....

This whole "sliding my sleep schedule" back is just completely messing with my already messed up sense of time.

@socketwench - I fixed my Bluetooth problem by just disabling the onboard Bluetooth and grabbing the Bluetooth dongle from the front room and plugging it in. Works GREAT now. :D

@jeff - Oh, wow, thank you. Super appreciated.

@sdw @Alairthephoenix - .....V'Ger!

@jeff - Looking for something akin to my previous pen display. About 19 inches for the display, but willing to go down (or up). I've used Wacom stuff over the years, but I'm also partial to Bosto.

I'm looking at getting a Bosto 16HD as it's "cheap" and the reviews seem to say it's an okay tablet. Videos seem to do what I need it to do.

I have a Paypal link at the bottom of my comics: https://dolari.net/cs/

So for the last few days, I've been going to bed an hour earlier each day so I can wake up at 7:30 on Saturday for a training event.

My body is NOT happy with this.

UPDATE: So literally an hour later, the stylus completely died on me. We're currently down for the count until I get a new stylus (doubtful) or a new tablet (expensive).

Hey, y'all. The stylus for my Yiynova tablet is getting more and more wonky, and while I hate hate HATE to get rid of a good tablet, there are no compatible styluses for this model AND the company has gone out of business.

Anyone know a good mid-range drawing tablet? I don't have a lot of money to spend, but can throw down some money for a decent tablet, and even save up a bit if necessarty (the stylus is wonky, but not dead). Preferably one with good Linux support.

Let me know....

@Alairthephoenix - It's a stylus with a top that unscrews so you can put a battery in it. It's norotiously flimsy, and was cracked when I got the tablet second-hand.

The problem is, it's also an electrical connector, so it disconnects every so often and I have to re-screw it to make the connection. It's been getting worse over the years and is getting to the point of being useless (I'll draw a line, it'll lose connection, and I have to rescrew it and hope it doesn't happen again).

@Alairthephoenix - It's one where you draw directly on the screen. A Yiynova MSP19U+
