- An update on the old man for everyone. After a scary few days when he didn't seem to recognize us, he seems to be at least partly back and semi mobile. His right leg is still paralyzed and he has no feeling in it, but he seems to be able to use it. Left leg seems improved.The seizures continue and we have changed his medication to try to get them under control. He is waking up and calling for help in the early hours of the morning and is unable to control his bladder during a seizure.But he's responding to his name again… At least as much as the stubborn old man used to anyway. And he is being much better with Nanuq after the last few days of acting terrified of his little brother. Not out of the woods yet but we have a go forward and still hoping for the best. #stlloki #siberianhusky #huskiesofinstagram Photo taken yesterday while eating lunch at Have a Cow. - March 10, 2024
- Send good vibes for the old man Loki. #stlloki is in a bad way this week. Suffered several grand mal seizures this week with no identifiable cause and has been left paralyzed in his right leg and partially on his left. His behavior has turned extremely erratic and verging on violent. He's having trouble recognizing people and even Nanuq.Not the best pic I have of him, but one of the most recent of the old man. #siberianhusky #huskiesofinstagram - March 8, 2024
- Night walk through the Redwoods Tree walk in Rotorua… The lights are so beautiful and made for a lovely end to the evening… #newzealand #redwoodstreewalkrotorua - February 1, 2024
Recently shopping for new hardware… partly my new game PC but also an updated Plex server for home.
Can I just say that considering that Moore’s Law is long since dead, I continue to marvel at and be amazed by the fact that my 5 year old i7-based laptop is now handily matched (and in some ways beaten by) a brand new i3 in a NUC that burns about 1/6 of the power that the older i7 did… and all that in only 4 CPU generations.
AND… having upgraded said gaming PC, I am blown away by this new i7 being almost twice as fast as the 5 year old i7, burning about the same amount of electric (net) as it’s predecessor, but based on only marginally different transistor sizes.
Now, there are plenty of other factors that make my new PC faster; it’s water-cooled and a desktop-class chip instead of an air-cooled laptop, it has an NVMe primary hard drive instead of the SATA one in the old machine, it has a faster GPU… but man, this new computer is FAST! I’m liking.
But seriously, Alienware… why did I have to dig up a new SATA cable to wire in my 2.5″ SSD? Could you not have included that in the box??
