Things got so bad this week, I had a litany of symptoms and taking Benadryl every 6 hours since mid-week. I’m still a mess but many aspect of it have improved. Not a ringing endorsement of no misery. Plenty of that remains. I’m about to run out of Benadryl, so I got an Amazon generic…
Allergies are still really, really, bad
Allergies have been very bad this Spring 2021. So bad, continuing on and on and on … with no end in sight. Looking information up via the internet about allergies has two answers: Climate Change. Warming trend makes more pollen than usual. <– maybe my problem. My yard is filled with weeds that blossom and…
Getting a kick out of reading my old stuff
I’ve looked up my posts here about computers over the years and it’s pretty fun to see how I was thinking, how things were before etc. Then I saw a post about a computer sleeping problem, and sleep has been a big topic for me all the time so that prompted me to search “sleep”…
Re-encoding
My VC1 project got derailed. (Have to re-do all 3 seasons of Star Trek) …later.
H.265 – I’m playing with a rip of Total Recall (1990) from Bluray. I have Avidemux encoding it as H.265 mkv. I have had the movie for awhile but hadn’t watched it until I started to on my Tablet (Samsung Galaxy S3 Tab) last night. I didn’t like how it looked.
Honestly I think the first half, at least is pretty dorky simple looking for a 1990 sci-fi flick.
I haven’t watched the whole movie this time yet, checking to see if one of the encodes looks better on my tablet. It’s gratuitously rated R. Really an 80’s movie, it came out June 1990.
Snickerdoodle by the Fireplace

VC1 TV Show project
I’m running out of space on my harddrive(s) fast since getting The Office complete series on it from Bluray. I’m still in process. My VC1 project from the end of September ’20 became very important to complete. Original Star Trek on Blu-ray, all VC1 ugh. I had converted via Emby in Oct. ’20, but didn’t…
Official update for SM-N986U1 to Android 11
Finally got the update for my phone that I’ve been waiting for. Samsung Note20 Ultra Unlocked (SM-N986U1) One UI 3.0 (Android 11) installed. I’ve been using a Simons Cat theme from the Samsung Theme Store. Went to view My Stuff there, and there was a theme update… That’s done. I also bolded my used FONT…
