What time is it? That's right, it's Fuck-This-Shit-o'Clock. Long weekend, here I come!
A lack of sleep caused me to overlook something minor that had a ripple effect throughout until I realized I had caused a huge (and potentially costly) problem for myself. Sleep is very productive. :)
A tell tale sign I've been busy today: it's 1AM and my iPhone battery is still at 68%.
New drive, server is happy. (Imagine I had to tell Sophie that Tinkerbell movies were lost.)

With the new style gmail compose window I can't change the from address when replying. Or am I missing something?
Bump. - Stephan Planken from iPhone
If you click on the address area, it should shift to editable and let you do a drop down for a different address. - Jennifer Dittrich
Click on the name itself. It turns the name into its own little window with an x, and there's a blinking cursor to the right for more typing. - Betsy #TeamMonique
Yes, thanks! I thought I tried that earlier. You're right: clicking on the recipient folds open the recipient as well as the from addresses. This is similar to the other hide-until-needed controls. Can't say it's very intuitive. - Stephan Planken from iPhone
I panicked when I couldn't see how to change the subject line (or even see the subject line at all). I had assumed the dropdown arrow next to the TO field referred to, well, the TO field. - Betsy #TeamMonique
Same here. :-) I fail to see how this new design improves my workflow. - Stephan Planken from iPhone
Repairing our water heater got me thinking about the concept of the "sealed" combustion chamber (the access door to the combustion chamber has a gasket around the door, view window and grommet for the gas lines) . How can it be completely sealed if there are vents for air supply to facilitate the combustion?
They're controlling the airflow around and to the burners to provide safe efficient combustion. Plus uncontrolled gust of air from door might blow out pilot light... - WarLord
True, that pilot is just a tiny gas line, it probably won't take much to blow it out. I was concerned because I had to cut the grommet for the gas lines (new thermocouple didn't fit through the hole). But you have a point, it may be about controlling air flow. - Stephan Planken from iPhone
Screen real estate doesn't mean anything to Google.

Not what you want to see late at night (or any time of day for that matter). My Home Server is sick. http://t.co/s3vS82j29h

Looks like one of the four hard drives is missing from the configuration. It will be a late night. - Stephan Planken
Oh ouch. RAID? - Die Leberwurst
It is using Microsoft's Drive Extender. It is a layer that provides redundancy. The advantage over RAID is that if I theoretically mount all 4 drives in another machine I get all files twice (the original plus the redundant copy). Theoretically, it should be able to recover from a failed drive but it requires some steps in the right sequence. - Stephan Planken
:( Good luck! I hope it isn't too late a night. - Spidra Webster
Hehe, I turned the server off to prevent the clients from trying to back up to it. The same drive goes for $79.99 + $3.99 shipping on Newegg so I might just do that. Running Spinrite on it sounds nice in theory but since that may take days to complete I can't wait that long. - Stephan Planken
Repairing the water heater went faster than heating the entire tank again.
Been staring at this black screen after Windows Update. It appears it has decided to take the day off... http://t.co/rWBGZ8ja8I

Day off! - Eivind from Android
It resulted in additional time for coffee! :) - Stephan Planken from iPhone
This happened to me on the second boot after installing Windows 8. It didn't go away. I dealt with it for 3 weeks, and then reformatted back to Vista. - Gimminy
One interesting thing is you can CTRL+ALT+DEL into the Task Manager and from there you can open programs and access the directories. It's like explorer just shits itself but the window manager remains operational. - Gimminy
This was the longest an update batch has ever taken. It must have been sitting like that for fifteen minutes or so (i7). Never occurred to me to try task manager! Probably couldn't have executed anything I needed though it may have completed loading all drivers at that point. - Stephan Planken from iPhone

If I had received a dime for each advice by an "expert" that turned out be be absolute bogus I would have been able to retire by now.

Just got traded my chocolate fudge ice cream for a chunk of cucumber. Yeah, three-year olds aren't dumb.
I also received a thank you kiss. So now I'm covered in that delicious ice cream. :) - Stephan Planken from iPhone

You know... If you send your friend over to my house to tell me that you think my horses look too skinny to your liking it would have been more convincing if you hadn't first come over while drunk, threatening to shoot my dog.
This could be the after effect of a divorce. - Stephan Planken from iPhone
Sophie pointed at a butterfly in the air. Promptly it came to her and landed on her finger. Priceless moment.
Sophie's new phrase whenever she trips: "Oh my! I almost fell and bonked my head and bled and died." No idea where that comes from!
(It actually sounds rather comical the way she says it.) May she took warnings not to run on her socks a bit too serious? I just don't remember ever having said anything like this. - Stephan Planken from iPhone

One of those evenings
Too nice for bed time
Sitting outside for the first time since last year. It's a balmy 30.5C in front of the house!
Balmy would not be how I could describe 30.5C! - Janet:#TeamMonique
I've been sitting outside reading for a couple of hours in Vegas. Luckily it's way cooler than 30 here today :) - Eivind from Android
There is a cool breeze to make it all bearable, though. Wouldn't it be nice if you could freeze frame life for a few hours... - Stephan Planken from iPhone

Wow. We haven't hit 20 yet here, but I have been wearing shorts the last couple of days :) - Eivind
It was a welcome change. :) Mind you, today is supposed to be 14C. - Stephan Planken from iPhone
28C is perfect! - Headless Gnad Kicker
I like 28, because you can just turn it around and get the equivalent Fahrenheit value :) - Eivind from Android
We're supposed to be metric but more often than not people use imperial units. However, I just can't get used to kpa for pressure as opposed to psi. - Stephan Planken from iPhone
