i got mine after cashing out bitcoin late 2017; had two shortish long term goals and to own a rolex was one of them, undershot my goal by 5ish years too. really proud of it

Yea, I got mine for my 40th bday, if I remember you are fairly young? It's a black face and bezel with magnified date window. It's the one I always wanted. It is showing some wear but I wear it daily regardless of what I am doing. I really want a hulk and a Batman but have about 8000 things on the list above both of them lol.

You are right on me being young; I'll give you a deal you absolutely cannot refuse.

Straight trade for X3MC?

Went for a quick spin (bread run) today and was good to see a lot of M cars out. Had a mineral white m3 behind me, mineral grey vert going the opposite direction and spotted a Hockenheim silver M2CS street parked.

We went for BBQ takeout today and let ours stretch it's legs a bit. Beautiful backroads between our house and our favorite BBQ place. Very rural and nice roads.

Been watching old boxing on ESPN. Yesterday was most of Ali's bigger fights.

Watching again, it just amazed me at how great he was fighting "off the ropes" and "slipping punches". He really showcases that in the bouts with Foreman.

Every time I re-watch these types of fights, I see subtle nuances I missed before.

I type too much to tolerate a watch or anything else around my wrist.

I've been passing (my free) time mostly by ordering parts and installing them on the zed. Clutch + flywheel + hydraulics, short shifter, driveshaft guibo and center bearing, whizbang motor mounts, a bunch of other smaller items because I had access to them and the car is 12 years old. Inflicted some sort of trauma to the middle finger on my right hand somehow. I truly have no recollection of doing anything to it violent enough to have caused the considerable swelling and soreness. But there we have it.

Repetitive use injury. Stop flipping people off so much.

I went through the scientific/test equipment on Amazon this morning, piecing together the things that I'll need for my next home science project. I wonder if ordering a case of centrifuge tubes and corrosive material handling tubes will get me put on a terrorist watch list?????

I have been hosting a simple WordPress web site and email forwarder on one of my shared web hosting service for a local club for many years now. It is the last thing on that hosting account, and the $150 annual renewal is coming up next month. I figured that it would take me two hours to migrate it to Amazon AWS LightSail, where it should only cost me $42/year to run the virtual server.

Although I use AWS for other things both personally and at work, I never used LightSail before today. Moving the WordPress stuff was only half an hour. The mail forwarder? The only way to receive emails into LightSail (or EC2) is a convoluted hack through their email sending service. They block incoming/outgoing SMTP traffic from being used by hit-and-run spammers. I applaud them for doing this...but it means that I have to kludge together their convoluted hack to do something that should have taken me 5 minutes to finish.....

I just went through a migration of my hosted sites from a very old plan to a new cPanel plan. The old plan was no longer supporting the current php and hence the latest Wordpress edition. Migrating the old version databases to the new version, and then moving the files and making everything work again was a pain, but it's pretty much done now. The one thing I missed was recreating the subdomain that my wife uses for her very popular blog. It hosts her images. Of all the things to break (or fail to migrate properly) that was the worst. Never want to break Wifey's things. Ever. Luckily it wasn't a tough fix.

Long winded way of saying I sympathize. Hosting sites for others is often a pain. I keep trying to extricate myself from it, but it's hard to do.

I've used more gas than usual.. Going on multiple drives from such boredom. Otherwise I'm constantly washing my car and bike (raining on and off lately) and playing cod :

Gardening, cooking, helping the kids with schoolwork, playing family games (board and video), listening to podcasts and the occasional food run/drive

Just finished setting up a MAMP server to stream my Fulgaz videos to my Apple TV 4K. My Apple TV is just a 32GB version and the Fulgaz 4K vids are around 10GB for an hour long video, so you can't fit more than a couple on the actual Apple TV box. And sometimes straight streaming of Fulgaz over the web gets iffy. With the MAMP server running on my Mac Mini, I have a TB of room to store vids. Streams nice and smooth over my wifi.

Might as well put all this technology to work.

I bought a family member a Tissot like 3 years ago (of course it's nothing like a Rolex), but within the first year the battery needed to be replaced. Said fine and changed it, maybe it came with a low battery when I purchased it... took it to the jeweler since it needs to be pressure sealed or whatever and it cost like 50 bucks (rip off)

Fast forward another year... needs another fuckin battery. At this point I was like ok this is going through batteries a bit fast. Took it to a local timekeeper store and they changed it for like 15 bucks lol.

Fast forward to this year... thought battery went bad again and took it to the local timekeeper and he said the battery is still good but the movement is bad... replacement is 150 dollars. WTF? The watch was like $350, so obviously not worth it. Thought Tissot was a good brand... has anyone had a shit experience like this?

How’s something like MAMP different/better than something like Plex for moving video between host and players? Just curious, since I’d never heard of it before.

Went for a long drive last night and snapped some pics. I need more practice. I also checked out this building thats been closed down for a while. It would make a cool, detail shop, or small antique mall.

It was nice to get away from all the negativity.

I went with MAMP because the Fulgaz app has an option to stream from MAMP, so it was the easiest setup. I'm sure there was a way to just use the built-in Apple media sharing, but I was too lazy to look up the things Apple doesn't tell you, like which port it uses and so on. MAMP was basically plug and play.

I've never set up a streaming media server before, so the coolness factor is there for me. I can't say whether MAMP works better than Plex, but I think it's cool you can watch a stored video on any device in a browser but just going to http://servername/filename.mp4.

I built a server a few weeks back, realized I can't configure it the way I want it so now I'm selling it

Failed venture for sure
