Hmmm.... now then.... what shall I cook up to accompany this then? 🤔

Definitely brolly weather ☔

As my Ugandan heritage mate Olyana once said to me in his best bassy African voice, "Nige, it am pissin' down" 😁💕

Well #PHP 8.5.12 it's taken half a day to get you on to my headless Ubuntu 22.04.1 ... finally it came to pass by 'simply' switching to using apt-get instead of apt... I mean... what??

Anyway, I noted that a major Canonical IP for PPA is 503 since this afternoon along my journey... overloaded... or borked by PHP exploit... hmmm.

Watching a 1977 episode of the BBC quiz Mastermind, for about 5:mins, the thing that struck me most was how horribly stiff, 'stuffed-shirt-ish' and obviously up-tight everybody looked. Contestants and audience. So whatever else has changed in the intervening 49 years, that's definitely something. Man, I was a 19 year old groovy type in '77 but those 'grown-ups'... blimey!

At least I've learned one thing out of all this; 'indices' is merely the more tech plural of 'index'. Well, "Peel my tangerines!" 😂

Dear nerds and indeed geeks of the #fediverse I have successfully updated my #NextCloud server to NC35 and also my PHP to 8.5 👍

Have dealt with all the issues that NC35 brought up in the admin check, bar just one. Relates to #mariadb #mysql and I must #askfedi for #fedihelp - NC warning msg below.

"Some joins are scanning entire tables because no usable index exists on the join column

Identify the offending queries (set log_queries_not_using_indexes) and add the missing indexes."

Is there a secret cloning laboratory in the basement of Turmp HQ where they churn these creatures (trumpettes? trumbos?) out? Each programmed to have a 'thing' about 80 year old con artists? I mean, seriously! 😂

Simple things I'm really glad I bought through my years of making music...

My Yamaha APX9NA nylon strung electro acoustic guitar.

My Sennheiser HD600 open backed headphones.

My Ocean Way Nashville studio control room emulation plugin, with EQ matching setting for the above headphones.

I have shed loads of music making stuff but it's interesting to muse awhile on the items that have really had the biggest impact.

Worrying week, tidying up loads of stuff from DIY jobs around the house I hadn't yet found my little black zip up bag (old Shure mic bag) with ALL my electronics/mini tools. The Bahco sidecutters & pliers, the 'real' jeweller's screwdrivers, other 'favourite' screwdrivers, spanners, pens, oddball fastener tools etc.
I even considered looking in the top drawer of my bedside cabinet but, "How and why would it possibly end up in there!?"... I don't need to finish this story do I... 😂
