Cling on My Wayward Son
Wednesday, October 20, 2021
It's back to Segoe UI for me! Yes, in another installment of The Walking Dead, Redmond emerges from the wilderness when we would have sworn we put him down! And then from some sort of parallel universe, a worm hole, or in a crossover episode does that Klingon hop over from the other side, too!
It's for the best. Late last night, I was all sorts of flustered with Cricut. Perhaps it wasn't my finest hour for long gone are the days when my late nights were nowhere CLOSE to designing T-shirts!
I set up a virtual Windows 10 environment on my Linux box that left me with a distracting, user experience. It made me feel like I was 331 lbs again! I tried to trim things down within the OS; I added a few CPU cores and could only pass out another 500 MBs of RAM—this laptop isn't exactly jacked for that sort of thing! I probably could have made it work if I pressed, as years ago, I had success with using USB devices on a virtual system (though I wasn't about going to keep my fingers crossed for any sort of Bluetooth functionality).
I was gonna run with it, until this morning when I was running APB against my phone, wiping out all sorts of bloatware nasties: Samsung, Verizon and Google. I gotta admit, it's a high to delete the Google Play Store; I mean, if there was ANYTHING that Google would frown on me deleting....I got to the point when I even blew up the MMS app (wasn't my intention). The whole thing got me asking, "what am I doing?" Just because I can doesn't mean I ought to invest the administrative overhead in doing so. It's the whole scarcity of time bit here. To what end, really?
