Done Since 2024-07-14

Pretty good week for me. That's because I wasn't affected -- much -- by the Crowdstrike incident. I did my air traveling on Monday, I'm retired, and I don't use Windows. One of my $A orders was delayed, but at least it didn't go astray. Your mileage may vary.

Monday we flew back from the Netherlands; I watched the two most recent (2021 and 2024) Dune movies on the plane. Not too bad; could have been better, especially at the end, which they totally mangled. But not nearly as bad as the 1984 version.

I seem to have forgotten to post the Thankful Thursday post that I wrote last Friday. Grump. I may wait and combine it with this week's. Or maybe post it Tuesday -- "Thankful Monday" just sounds wrong.

I took advantage of a few Prime Day deals; some of those may have been ill-advised. $A has a good return policy, fortunately.

For links, have a look at EdZitron's scathing article about "CrowdStruck". Will anything change? probably not. Also, Tuesday has some links about Gray Eyes (my favorite color, for obvious reasons).
