Was suddenly unable to print from #Win10. Tried all the standard tricks. Then I realized what happened. Two routers / #Wi-Fi access points. When The computer connects to the closer of the two, the #WSD port decides the printer is "offline", even though I can view the printer's configuration web page with a browser. Went back to reliable TCP/IP port and multiple jobs flowed ou… -

Let’s see what updates we have today. The $EMPLOYER machine runs on a different schedule than my personal #Win10 laptop (and a widely different set of software, too). -

Annoying that #Ubuntu family operating systems still do not give a “use UTC” option during installation for the system timezone. Even my #Win10 laptop uses UTC.
Too many family members are in timezones other than US-Pacific. Using a local timezone is just confusing, just as using AM and PM instead of 24-hour time is. -

LOL. Last night (well, this morning at 03:00), I turned off the laptop with "install updates and shut down".
Turned the #Win10 laptop on a little while ago and now it wants to reboot again. Why have they not mastered installing all the available updates at once, then requiring a reboot? -

The #Win10 machine is using 76% of its memory with nothing open except the task manager. It's got 8Gigs of RAM. Going to shut it off and see what it looks like when I start it again in the morning. -

The #Win10 update (feature update 2004) had downloaded and “installed” the other night, so rather than deal with restarts, I shut the computer off. That means I now get to wait through the process now. -

Another member of $EMPLOYER #TechTeam told me his laptop just got upgraded to #Win10 1909. I hope HQ-IT thought about how to support those whose "upgrades" fail to complete, leaving an unusable device. -

#Win10 updates almost finished installing. Still somewhat dragulent. -

I am not sure whether it is #Win10 or the #VPN, but one of the two is having a little trouble today. Downloading updates is really dragulent today.
(Dragulent as in "slow and draggy".) -

Using the #Win10 machine and I caught myself typing “whereis env”.

One of the things that I dislike about #Win10 is that in dual-monitor and triple-monitor setups, it regularly and frequently drops one monitor, internally flipping it to "never use". Sometimes, I've had as many as five users queued up when I came in the door so I could turn it back to "use this monitor". -

#Win10 woke up, downloaded and installed updates, started beeping at me because it wanted to reboot.
What an annoying way to awaken in the morning. -

@geniusmusing Maybe it will give PHBs a push toward #Ubuntu and #Suse to replace #Win10 on the desktop. -

Now watching some #PHP videos on the former #Lynda.com site ( now called #LinkedIn / #LockedOut Learning ) before I go back to the #Lua videos. I had to take a time out from Lua because none of the (book and video) examples of "first class functions ... pass the function to that one" were working for me and I could not see why. The odd thing is that the weird issues with scopin… -

Turns out that both #Erlang_OTP and #Elixir are available through #Chocolatey. I've started uninstalling things that I installed directly in #Win10 if I can replace it with a version through Chocolatey. Just getting all my (non-OS) updates through that system is worth it. One of the things I've long hated in Windows is logging into an account with admin rights and getting dozen…
