Rhonda Huntress Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I need to lose 20 lbs by Christmas. Well, not *need* so much as want. But need, also. Anyway, I downloaded an app to help me watch my diet. I have been mostly avoiding carbs for a long time and now I'm all messed up. I have been eating way to much fat. I really didn't notice how bad my diet was until I started tracking it. Even set as a low carb diet I have been getting around half the calories from carbs that I should be getting. That means my fat intake is 150-200% of its target. Anyway ... I'm eating healthy again and have lost 3 pounds this week. == Today's rambling was brought to you by the words "non sequitur" and the letters W, T and F. ==. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMe Jewell Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 This is one of those possibly TLDR type posts - but I promise it isn't too boring. I have a gaming laptop that I bought 4 years ago. It is a bit dated now, but was really good back then. It has a good i7 cpu and a good Nvidea graphics card w/ 4 gb memory, rather than just an icky integrated one. It is actually my primary computer and will handle SL really well. I get great FPS almost all the time. However, it only had 8 gb of memory, which is becoming more and more of an issue - especially since I like to keep many Firefox tabs running while in SL along with my email and a photo editing app. So we decided to add memory to it to extend the life while I continue to save for a new computer. The ordered memory arrived yesterday and today we took off the back to add 2 more 8 gb memory cards. Low and behold, there are only 2 slots there even though the specs said 4 slots. So off to the web for research. It turns out that the other two slots are only accessible by removing the keyboard, which requires damn near taking the whole thing apart. We got all of that done and got the memory installed and then started putting it back together. However, one of the teeny tiny 1/4" x impossibly small plastic pieces decided to be difficult in going back in and one of the freakin itsy bitsy tabs broke. Damn. Truly FUBAR - though I will call CyberPowerPC to see what they'll charge for repair. In any case, computers are considered essential in this household - even though I actually have a work-provided laptop for WFH days - so that meant that we were going shopping. So we ended up running down to Best Buy to see what they might have. I did drool quite a bit over this super awesome Alienware tower that would have set me back about $3000. *sigh* However, they did also have a not-quite-so-super-duper tower that met my minimum requirements, though still a tad over budget. Since my husband hadn't yet gotten my birthday present (we were discussing a few different things), we decided this would be that, as well as my primary Christmas present this year - and I am definitely good with that. So I ended up with the Alienware Aurora R6 - Intel i7 7700, 16 gb memory, GeForce GTX 1070 w/ 8 gb, 256 gb SSD and 1 tb SATA drive. Needless to say that I'm anxious to get SL loaded up on it, but I also have a ton of other setup I have to do - like get everything from my old computer migrated over and all of my primary applications installed. Since it is now pretty darn late here, I'm going to force myself to wait until the morning for the SL install and test drive. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, it will hold me for quite a while. At the time we bought it, I had no clue about the graphics card and Best Buy isn't (or wasn't) known for putting really good cards in their fully setups. I was quite surprised when I got home and looked up the card. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not totally surprise about the heat, but this is a good reminder to me to keep an eye on that. I was actually shocked when I looked it up after getting home just because Best Buy used to never carry any pre-configured computers with a super good card already in it. I always figured it was because they wanted to sell you an overpriced computer and then make you buy the graphics upgrade on top of it. I did check the price that Dell showed for the same computer setup and Best Buy actually had it discounted a few hundred, so that was also a nice surprise.

LittleMe Jewell Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 OMG - Sometimes application developers drive me nuts. The new computer meant a change from Windows 7 to Windows 10, which thus requires some of my applications to be upgraded - not a big deal in and of itself. However, some of these application installs / upgrades insist that Windows must be restarted before the app can be used. WTF - For Real?!?! In this day and age no regular freaking application should require an OS restart before it can be used. Once again I am reminded of how sensible unix developers are and how insane Windows developers are. /end rant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't heard anything about his own place, other than the fact that the condo community is also without power, likely for at least a week. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
