    I'se stuck again.  y'know how when you divide sometimes there a remainder?

    dunno how to programmily separate the numbers either side of the decimal.  something about a quotient

    Use rounding in the division code.  Round to two digits after the decimal...unless you must follow rules for more precision.

    Wednesday complaint:  Cars are expensive.  sad Took the car in for inspection and it passed but he pointed out that my front tires should be replaced.  Especially since winter is coming.  so I took the car to my local mechanic to replace the tires ($230) and while he was at it I had him do a careful look at the undercarriage.  He found what I suspected, that it's rusting out in places.  Unfortunately worse than I had thought.  Now I have to think about getting some bodywork done too.  ($$$) crying

    Admittedly the car is 13 years old but looks brand new when sitting in it and feels brand new when driving it. And it gets 30mpg on the Interstate.  But like me its foundation is rotting.  Big beautiful luxurious Buick LeSabre Custom w/leather seats (*sigh*)  Made back when cars were still made to fit human beings semi-properly, no shoehorns necessary.  I'd hate to lose it.  If I would even be able to afford a replacement it would be an 8 year old tiny tin can with hammock seats and still only get 30 mpg. frown

    ...rusted undercarriage, common where road salt is used.  When I still lived in Wisconsin, even a 4- 5 year old car started tuning into a rust bucket along where the body panels meet the undercarriage. Didn't matter what kind if rust protection coating you had, that stuff just ate right through it.

    Ahh the Buick LeSabre.  That was the first car I learned to drive with.   It was a '69 back when American cars were as big a battleships.  The bonnet was so long you could almost land a UH-1 Huey on it.  Living room sofa sized front and back seats that could hold 7 people comfortably.  I guess the school figured if you could jockey one of these behemoths around the city streets and parallel park it without banging into something, you could drive any size car that was on the road at the time (well, unless it had a manual transmission). 

    Parallel parking.  I don't even think they properly teach or test for that anymore the way they used to when I see people attempting to do it these days. I've watched people in small Toyotas or Nissans give up in frustration on a spot I could put that '69 LeSabre into easily. Other times I've seen cars 1 to even 2 ft from the curb or pulled right up to the front bumper of the car behind with enough room to fit a Smart Car between it and the car in front.

    Nutmeg magic squirrel dust... Sounds very Harry Potter...

    Quotient? No... It's the extrapolator times the inverse manipulative subtransboglifier... No... that can't be right... Maybe times pie... Cherry to the third.

    This isn't helping is it?

    I also give terrible surgical advice too... If anyone is interested in DIY home surgery.

    Good old fashioned British baked rice pudding, with nutmeg sprinkled on the top,   Heaven on a cold autumn or winter night,  and if it's anything like our house used to be you should see the kids fight about who got the most skin off the top with all the nutmeg in it.   http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/25386/good-old-fashioned-baked-rice-pudding.aspx

    I would love that, but the carbs in rice converting to sugar in seconds in my body + the sugar in that dish = diabetic coma. Rice is a worse source of carbs for me than potatoes, I don't know why. crying

    Try brown rice...you can not really tell the difference when it's in a recipe, and it's considerably better for you than white rice.

    Dana

    All rice is the same color in the dark... Of course you could end up eating a bug or two, but that the price you pay for being cheap with your electricity.

    ...super major complaint.

    Finally found a replacement converter brick for my notebook on ebay.  When I went to verify  the model number and voltage to make sure I was ordering the right replacement, it crapped out for good.  No matter what I do the the AC power light no longer comes on.  I can get on through the workstation but FF there doesn't have my saved passwords (all those are on the notebook) except for those I created locally on it. I hate going though password recovery because means I have to come up with a totally new one (and being dyslexic as well as having short term memory issues it's a total PITA to come up with a good secure one).

    I never buy white rice.  However, I do make brown rice and gravy a few times a year.  Simple bachelor food.

    But don't get me started on rice pudding.  I like it but learned to hate seeing it on the Christmas table.  Some of my relatives held a Swedish style holiday dinner complete with that godawful lye soaked raw fish, (gag me with a spoon.  I think it's called "blech" devil).  But aside from the blech, one of the other traditions in that family was to go around the table individually and everybody had to make up a poem about rice.  After the words "rice", "spice", "nice", "twice", and "ice" have been used then the remaining 10 people around the table are pretty much out of options except for "lice".   Stupid traditions. Bah, humbug! angry  (Thursday's complaint)

    This happened while manipulating the brick to read the model number?  Perhaps there's just a short in the wiring.

    ..yes, that's what has been causing the outages I've been experiencing.  I figure something in the wiring finally gave out completely 

    Managed to find a textile where I stored a few passwords and the ebay one was there. so I ordered the new converter.  Thinking of also getting a new battery as well as I found the compatible replacement made by the same manufacturer for only 12$ (they used to be very expensive when I first got the system). 

    Fortunately the distributor is just down the coast in California so I should have teh converter by early next week.

    Won't be on some of my chats or FB for a few days as I never signed up on them through the workstation.

    Some may think why bother putting money into a nearly 10 year old notebook.  Well the rest of it works fine and the HDD has all my setups for online activity.  I also have all my PDF and text tutorials and guides on it so I don't have to toggle back and forth between Daz/Carrara etc and the guides on the same system.

    Having only an older i7 and 12 GB of memory, I don't like using the workstation for other purposes while rendering as that would just take away more resources, especially when using Iray. I really need that 24 GB kit and a 6 core CPU (LGA 1366)  I've been finding the prices on a Xeon W3690 (3.46 GHz) to be better than than i7 990 (both are now "legacy" hardware so finding a "new" one is pretty difficult).

    Well, after a few glasses of the traditional "glogg" we weren't that much in control of our rhyming vocabulary.  I'm not a fan of holiday parties, but thankfully I always had a ride to those particular events so I hit the glogg early and hard.surprise

    Ah  yes  Glogg    or   Glühwein or Glintwein or vin brule or even just plain simple mulled wine.  A good way to get tipsy fast,  as the warm liquid works faster than cold drinks.

    Just wish there would be an update one day.

     

    Too bad there isn't some sort of small pictogram of some sort of I could add to the end of that statement that could indicate a crying emotion... Someone should invent those... Maybe call them pictocons or emotigrams or something.

    oh i'se stuck again, this time diplomacy.

    so, some think knowledge base should allow anyone editing.  i guess is wiki like.

    yet, i know how some feel about others editing their documents. and i'm not going to program tracking of changes.

    i wanna leave it up to the authors to lock their posts or leave it open for community editing.

     

    diplomacy is where i dunno what to call the checkbox.  to allow the author to lock their post or leave it open for others to edit. was thinking 'archived' or 'fyi' or  completely helpless shrug.

    Yeah... Just like that, but maybe smaller so people could put them at the end of a statement so others would know what the emotions behind a statement were and wouldn't get homicidal or enraged because of a misunderstanding and maybe there could be others too... Like happy and sad... Embarrassed... Naughty... Envious... Confused... Maybe even one that looked like a blob of soft serve chocolate ice cream with eyes... So one can express their love for chocolate ice cream.

    Someone should really do that... It could revolutionize the interethernet.

    Oh well.

    anyway solved my dilemma.  i'm making a community user named Wikikoos.  with an option for my coworkers to transfer anything they post to Koos and anyone can edit. but if they keep their name on the post, then only the author can edit.
