Tuesday Timeline Trivia for July 27th:

  • 1921 – Researchers at the University of Toronto, led by biochemist Frederick Banting, proved that the hormone insulin regulates blood sugar.

  • 1938 – Gary Gygax, American game designer and co-creator of Dungeons & Dragons, was born.

  • 1940 – The animated short A Wild Hare was released, introducing the character Bugs Bunny.

 

Today is also eldest niece's birthday. She very much likes D&D, I think she would like that factoid.

 

Was supposed to go out to dinner tonight for anniversary. Had to cancel. Husband needs to take my Sibling to urgent care. My mom is too tired to drive safely. It's mostly GI issues so I'm not super worried but still worried.

a selection of todays service calls:

  • guy who didn't want to call his distributor blew up a circuit board.
  • site finally noticed they hadn't been properly processing their credit card transactions since May 22nd. 
  • distributor tech called me to clarify how a diagnostic test mode works because their customer managed to get them all confused. Tech was right in how it worked, I just had to restore their confidence. 
  • another distributor tech and I were installing a new module that we couldn't get to work. Engineer stepped in and it was the simplest of settings - but the site should have been experiencing other problems because of it and they swear everything was working perfectly, as far as they knew. 
  • A customer couldn't get their remote connection software to connect - got an error message I'd never seen before.   Finally figured out it it was because of a glaring typo in their IP address: 192.168.168.100.100.   On the upside, I was able to update our error messages reference sheet to include this and what to check. 
  • An upgrade went flawlessly.  I normally schedule two hours for these upgrades, allowing for an hour to do them, and another hour in case something goes wrong.  This one took 20 minutes.

I once won a cruise to Nevada!!!! :blink:

 

 Well, technically, you could get there by boat... Canoes are boats.  ::D:

 

 (I mean, you'd probably be paddling upriver most of the way, but...)

So I've been painting pretty much nothing but Star Wars Legion for the last 10 years since the pandemic began.  I know Legion is a slightly larger scale (nominally 1:48 scale) but it really struck me last night when I was going through my Bones 5 stuff.

"Aren't you a little short to be..."

Nevermind.::P:

This is not a bad thing if the robot is a model T-800 or T-1000

FTFY.

 

This seems relevant:

I added the Casino Car. There is an adventure hook. ::):

 

For some reason I am thinking Bond, James Bond. An insouciante dilettante that isn't what he seems.

 

Connery, I think. Or maybe Craig. One of the cold ones, anyway.

 

I, uhm, seem to have misplaced my wife....

 

And this is playing on her computer.

 

Also missing are a pile of Pathfinder and Eberron books.

 

It's fun listening to her singing along with an instrumental piece. ::P:

 

The Auld Grump - last time she was working on Eberron, it was zither music.
