For once, I am not working all Saturday morning, I may get to like this whole weekend thing. My self isolation is not as strict as New York's, I can go more than a mile from my home when running, hiking, or cycling.

Who set the one mile limit?

And they say HST2 will be fast.
Possible she may be related to Ernie.

One of my trouser belts is giving up the ghost.. It has a split in it.
I would have thought it should have lasted more than 48 years!!

Pfffft

Poor workmanship, take it back.

Cheesecake?

A badger came on the street earlier(Never knew there were any round these parts). Followed less than five minutes later by the first of two police vehicle's. Vehichle access is from one end only, with the badger continuing out on the footpath.

Clever things these badgers. Wonder what it had done though.

Anyways, I've finished answering my e-mails, so I am going to slope off to bed.

Setup of my work laptop PC on my PC desk at home is getting messy.

At home, I have a desktop PC (Linux), a laptop PC (Linux) and another laptop PC (Win10), and now the work laptop PC (Win10) has joined the horde. I'm still trying to find the best arrangement of my 2 large monitors and their HDMI (and other) cables, not to mention the keyboard / mouse setup for each. I brought my work docking station home, but it takes HDMI for 1 display and DisplayPort (a kind of asymmetrical HDMI) for the other display, but I only have HDMI cables, and the 2nd monitor's HDMI socket is already used for the home PCs. It has a VGA socket, which means to get the 2nd monitor working for the work PC I'll have to get both a VGA-HDMI adapter and a DisplayPort-HDMI adapter.

Let the working from home begin...

Work never supplied the leads & adaptors?

 

[Aussie Mike]

Unless the flight only lasted 10 minutes (at warp factor 'ridiculous'), they'd be out of luck.

And they won't be able to get home again now ...

Work never supplied the leads & adaptors?

Yes, they did. The I.T. and Site support people where I work are very good, and all our equipment is supplied when we need it. The only problem is: it's now a bit crowded on my home PC desk, what with 3 home PCs (1 desktop, 2 laptop) and 1 work laptop PC. I'm still trying to find the best way for them to coexist, and the setup which makes it as convenient as possible to switch between home and work PC usage. The main reason I need those 2 adaptors is that I couldn't bring the work monitors home (just everything else), and my monitors at home don't quite use the same display sockets/plugs as the ones at work.
