Unfucking Stuff

A 9-post collection

Wednesday, Mor Shenanigans

Well, we managed to fix the toilet for slightly less than forty dollarydoos. Meanwhile, the hose, connectors, and bits to fix the kitchen sink are up to roughly two hundred dollarydoos even though we have to go back for a couple more parts.

It shouldn't cost more than twenty extra bucks and my own brief humilliation.

Note for future beans: Measure always. Don't assume that everything's standard and will automagically fit.

I have already mocked myself to the Promptcast crew, so take your best shot.

So yeah, it's another trip to Bunnings plus jiggery-pokery to get the kitchen sink unfucked. Plus repeated lectures on how to use the sink properly so it doesn't clog all over again.

Offski I popski. Story whenever.

Friday, Extended Unfucking

I shall be attempting to do a very fast story today. All so I can hold Chaos' hand and try to get her into the process of getting the disability pension. Which is going to take five-freaking-ever but we WILL get there. So help me.

I'll be getting story done in between helping with the centrelink mess. So far, it's been finding the right links and getting the process done so that we can start the NEXT process.

The current process is

Thursday, Gradual Unbuggering

I think I forgot to advertise the weekly blog, yesterday. I can get onto that today.

Adapting got the boot yesterday, so now I'm flinging that at another agent before I get a rattle on with other business.

Which apparently includes writing this blog entry.

Nevertheless, Adapting is away again and I am hoping for the best. One more round and I throw it at the writing group to see (a) what it needs, (b) where I could put it, and (3)

Saturday, Shit Sorting Session (Extended)

I got shit sorted this morning! I fed the starter, cleaned my humidifier [I didn't know it needed to be cleaned when fed filtered water whatevs] remembered the catbox in the laundry and helped a friend check over a story they were doing for a thing.

I even remembered to email MeMum. Yay.

This is not a direct result of having a "get outta bed" alarm, but rather my brain misfiring and thinking I had one for today. No! I turned that

Sunday, Unfucked A Thing(tm)

So here's my day:

  1. Wait for Beloved to be awake
  2. Commence personal prep
  3. Get invited to morning markets for brekky
  4. Cart them all there for that thing and also get some noms
  5. Beloved drives here
  6. Adorable photographs the local mob [of kangaroos]
  7. The bad patch of the catio roof is removed as Adorable and I drag out the metal spandek
  8. Find out I got the wrong fucking size of spandek. I needed to get 2.4 meters, but I got 1.8

Wednesday, Unfuckening in Progress

I went and fetched Adorable before I even had my coffee this morrow. As I write, she's currently trying to unriddle the Wacom screen tablet. Task one of four:

  1. Unriddle the Wacom
  2. Whack OBS so the cam behaves its-fucking-self when I'm streaming
  3. Get Zrythm to play some GD sound
  4. Attach basket and rack to Chaos' bike

And because only one of us can fart around on my compy at a time, I'm doing my offerings from the Lappy. Yay.

I shall do

Wednesday, Unfucking Journey

I currently can't upload images from my compy without borking my entire internet connection, my browser, or my compy. Apparently, it's a Firefox bug or its add-ons.

In the meantime, I'll be working on my image posts on CachyBrowser.

I have quite a few appointments upcoming, this week, and PLNs to go shopping today and get some supplies. For which I need to consult the rest of the fam.

It's been a thorough TRIAL trying to unriddle my technical issues that have

Tuesday, UNFUCKED!

My PC is officially unclogged. The extraneous files have been obliterated, the old install and last traces of the old install are no longer part of the map.

...though the old install still turns up on the startup and I don't know why...

Like all desperate bargains, I paid a steep price for the fix - at least half my Firefox tabs and windows.

I can rebuild. I've done that before.

I got a couple of hours before Beloved and I go

Sunday, Unfucking My OS

I am now operating exclusively in Linux. This took a complete new installation and drive wipe to do. I now have to wipe the other drive because nothing works over there.

Very little works over here and I don't know why.

I'm hoping that the wipe on the other drive sets things up properly and de-kinks the bugs.

Bugs like... having to hold down ALT and FN in order to type some proper quote marks and apostrophes.

I solved that last time
