Yum. I have chicken drums airfried tonight.
I have a business idea for anyone that wants to take it. I noticed Red Hat have a partner page, and their aren't a lot of Australian based companies on there. LibreOffice also has a page about LibreOffice enterprise and LibreOffice in the cloud.
Go through the certifications and you could have your own consultancy that sets up Linux and LibreOffice for businesses.
It's not a guaranteed money maker and you'd need to offer other services, but it's nice to know there's an option to get people off Windows. There might be demand for it with concerns around recall and the demands of Windows 11.
Do with this what you want, I don't have the time, skills, or network to make this viable myself.
Just back from Brunswick and popped into some opshops. Not one stripe jumper on the racks anywhere. All gone.
Today's dream involved looking at planning applications... but every time I did, they fell apart. Like the drawings of the buildings collapsed on paper or on an aerial image. Or I'd head on site and watch them blow up in front of me. Meanwhile Sufjan Steven's Eugene has been playing in my head in the dream and while awake. ...and he called me Subaru... And now I wanna be near you ๐ถ

I'm starting off the new financial year with pay day today. A bit of a tax cut and a sliver more Super. If the new EBA gets through there will be a pay rise in a couple of months. Not enough to keep up with the CPI increases of the last couple of years but it's nice to be finally closing the gap a bit.

Green jasmine tea and toast please. Also a handful of gummy vitamins to replace all the vitamins lost while I have been on pain meds for so long.

Taking a break from a rewatch of The Strain to watch Abigail was doubly hilarious, it's like watching Fet get nerfed.
Finished the dual screen and dock setup. One work laptop is STILL a bit dicey with the dual screens and I can 100% confirm it's a shitty usb-c port.
My original Metabox laptop though... it's getting onto 6 years old, the dock connects to one screen only but not two. Realised the internal AND external graphics drivers basically haven't been updated since the laptop was bought, yikes), so I've updated those but no dice.
I can sense myself using this to procrastinate on all sorts of other things so... one monitor is better than none. Onwards...
Is it a DisplayLink-based dock, does it need the DisplayLink driver installed (and the utility running) to drive both screens over USB?
Common issue with docks at our hotdesks here at work.
Hmmm, doesn't look like it is. I installed the DisplayLink driver and have the utility running anyway, but it doesn't seem to be making much of a difference. I think it might be the USB-C port for this laptop, it might be an older one that can't support the thoroughput of 2x 1080p monitors at 60Hz for some reason?
E: The dock (Belkin INC014) does support Display Port Alt Mode, and obviously it worked on other laptops, so I'm thinking it's really this older laptop that's got an issue.
Damn!
Ah well, like you say, at least one monitor is better than none.

I think about this every five years or so , the singing detective , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hos1hoI2neU
@Seagoon_ Wifey is trying to claim that it's really not that uncommon to mix Crunchy Nut Corn Flakes, Nutra Grain, and Weet Bix together. And to eat this particular cereal combo for dinner.
I'm not doubting her... I just haven't come across this combo before.
Anyone else here mix three different breakfast cereals?
@ajsadauskas @Seagoon_ My kids have acquired the habit of multiple cereals from my father-in-law.
I just can't. Sensory horror in a bowl.

The irony of me being so active in food subs. But I used to really enjoy cooking and want to pass my favourite tips and recipes on

Because I'm old, I remember this from the Windows 95 install CD!
