Scrobbling to Infinity and Beyond

Ok, it's official now... I've passed the number of scrobbles compared to last year.
I'm on 53K scrobbles for this glorious 2019, as opposed to the 52.917K on 2018.
Almost like Argentina's inflation as of right now.

Movies During The Weekend


Only one movie during last weekend, but a really cool one.

Brightburn:
Both the GF and I loved this one.
Starts like your regular indie terror flick, but goes beyond that, scratching even the gore genre for a little bit.
Interesting as hell.

You had one job winter...

Saturday Night Pasta

The best potatoes gnocchi I have ever eaten.
A bold statement, but true.
Of course, the GF magical stew helped a lot.
As usual with all my pasta, drowned on boiled carrots and grilled cheese.

Sunday Night Pasta

Taken last Sunday, when a cold, frigid night deserves the best ricotta ravioli in the Universe.
A very generous portion, since we had to walk a lot because of the broken chain on Blue Thunder.
As usual, the raviolis were drowned on the mighty GF Stew, with boiled carrots and grilled cheese.

Movies During The Weekend





Lots of movies during last weekend... A diverse bunch.

The Beach Bum:
A cool one, and indie for the cool kids gang.

Godzilla King of The Monsters:
Of course, the GF wanted this one, even tho she already saw this one on the big screen a couple of months ago.

Avengers Endgame:
Man, what a bummer... Unbelievable this movie was such a hit.

Debian Buster on The Optiplex 755 (USFF)

Or: (Almost) Spring Cleaning & Update
Yesterday it was time to upgrade the little monster, the Optiplex 755.
I was using a HDD of 80 GB and it a major PITA, always at 99% capacity or so; a new, or at least, a bigger HDD was in order, and, since I'm updating, bumped the thing from Stretch to Buster (not Sid because I found out that installing updates all the time it is ball breaking business).
Also, since this particular Optiplex can only handle up to 4 GB of RAM, ditched XFCE for a plain i3 solution.
Installation (64 bits, on an encrypted LVM as usual) went smooth as silk.

Saturday Night Milangas

Things are back to normal, man!
Amazing oven cooked milanesas on a Saturday night, the way things should be.
Also, of course, a shit load of, once again, oven baked potatoes on a frigid Saturday night.

The current Linux Mint desktop

In the same track as to what my desktop looks on my other lappies and Linux distros at the moment.
The lovely and mighty Adapta theme, with the Papirus icons and a flat wallpaper with a pretty decent font (for my old tired eyes that is).

Chainlink Failure Is Total

Today I had the biggest problem with Blue Thunder since I got it, on last December.
The chain broke while we were riding with the GF.
A total and complete PITA.

Sunday Night Chicken

Certainly a bizarre weekend...
Sunday dinner with a magnificent oven coooked chicken and potatoes.
I might say this was the best chicken I had on my life.
Of course lovingly made by the GF.

Sunday Lunch Pasta

A strange occasion, if you will...
A rare Sunday, so we had lunch, and what a lunch! Mighty potatoes gnocchi with the ever present and wonderful GF Stew.
I couldn't even restraint myself to take the picture, had to start eating them at once... But forced myself to stop midway to take the picture.

Got the Stuff, Dude!

A relative of mine -who lives in the US- came visit this hell hole the past week.
He kindly agreed to bring this Thinkpad parts I shamelessly asked for...
Its a PITA, but those damn rubber bumpers are totally MIA around here.

Cannibalizing a Palm-rest For The X220i

Actually, more than cannibalizing it was re-using...
So., it is time to replace the palm rest on the little and beloved x220i, the original one was broken, with the whole piece of plastic just below the touch-pad missing, it can be seeing on this link.
So, I got the old one, the original that came with the x220, and slapped onto the x2201, no problems whatsoever, except that I had to tape shut what was the fingerprint scanner.

Movies During The Weekend


Only one movie, and not a very good one either.

Hellboy:
Yeap, the new one, the "rebooted" one.
Boring as hell, get it? Not good, not even the GF liked it, even we liked the previous movies.
It is kinda gorier than other ones and this new Hellboy does look hellish and more demonic, but nevertheless the movie does kinda suck.

A special night out with the GF, as we got to yet another anniversary of sorts together.
Some amazing Patagonic chicken breasts and for dessert we had a warm chocolate brownie covered with ice cream.

(No) Movies During The Weekend

Once again, another weekend without movies with the GF... We had some cool and nice weather, so we rode, perhaps a bit too much, on our bicycles.
In the end we slept like monkeys.

Intel Firmware Bearing Great Gifts

Besides enabling and activating the internal Wifi NIC, installing the Intel firmware, the ipw2200-bss.fw, seems to have fixed those nasty hangs coming back from Suspend I was suffering on the trusty T43.
