[12:09:36] <Bytram> Wet. Heavy rain predicted today with a strong chance of thunderstorms. That is, however, better than getting all this as snow
[12:10:46] <janrinok> we've had a very warm and sunny weekend until today - it's now changing to being cooler and showery
[12:11:16] <Bytram> Yesterday started sunny and warmer, but today... not so much.
[12:11:34] <janrinok> I've been trying to do some programming but I am just so mentally tired that I don't seem to be able to do anything useful at all
[12:13:06] <Bytram> it's hard enough to program some things at the best of the times! With all the virus-related activity, doubly so.

[12:17:12] <Bytram> was worth a shot
[12:17:34] <janrinok> why are you expecting it to update that quickly. It only counts the WU a certain number of times per day
[12:17:42] <Bytram> janrinok: Sorry to hear all this stuff is taking a toll on you.
[12:18:18] <Bytram> The last check was to see if (a) the timestamp was that of the last update or (b) the timestamp of when the user issued their query
[12:18:29] <janrinok> I can do physical stuff that doesn't require thinking but otherwise I end up sitting in front of the computer and achieving nothing at all
[12:22:20] <Bytram> Sometimes, doing nothing is exactly what I need to do. Look out the window and just watch the clouds and the critters and the plants and stuff. Kind of like letting the tub in my brain (which is full of thoughts) drain for a while... absence of focussed thought is like turning the taps off.
[12:22:40] <Bytram> Some days are just no-think-ums
[12:24:08] <janrinok> what I actually need is a break - my last free day was last year. But there is not much likelihood of that in the next few months as the care homes are not taking temporary residents due to isolation and protection of their full-time residents
[12:24:09] <Bytram> When that happens, I just try and accept that today is going to be one of _those_ days, and rather than fight the tide, just go with it and do the things I can. Like physical stuff. Sorting files. Cleaning up clutter. Whatever.
[12:24:32] <Bytram> {{{ janrinok }}}
[12:24:45] <janrinok> thanks - appreciated.
[12:25:51] <Bytram> Is there nobody who might be able to, if not entirely remove the burdens, at least help lessen them so you can figuratively catch your breath?
[12:26:26] <Bytram> Any lessened load is one less straw on the camel's back.
[12:28:09] <janrinok> nobody is allowed in or out of the home so, apart from the 2 visits by nurses each day that is a non-starter
[12:33:07] <Bytram> "the home"? Yours? Or... everybody is forbidden from leaving *their* homes? (I'm thinking someone could, for example, pick up and deliver groceries to your doorstep?)
[12:34:38] <janrinok> I can go shopping. When S usually goes into a home as a respite break for me I usually sleep for 14-18 hours on the first day alone. It then reduces over the next couple of weeks until I am sleeping the normal 8 hours per night and then she returns.
[12:35:48] <Bytram> speechless
[12:37:03] <janrinok> ... it's just the way it is - cue music
[12:39:32] <Bytram> I so wish there were something I could do to help!
[12:40:30] <Bytram> I realize that working on this site and programming are things that give you a respite... is there anything else that can help?
[12:41:07] <janrinok> It reminds me of when I was in Bosnia on ops. I came back on a 2 week R and R and S had arranged a walking holiday in the very beautiful scenic part of the UK. It hadn't occurred to her that I had just spent 6 months doing that as a job!
[12:41:46] <Bytram> *** groan! ***
[12:42:04] <janrinok> no, there is nothing you can do to help, but thanks for the thought. Just talking about it has helped. Don't worry, we will cope.
[12:42:40] <Bytram> ummm, hwalla? molim? (I kinda know some phonetics but no idea on the spelling!)
[12:43:14] <janrinok> no, that isn't a problem, but thanks again
[12:43:27] <Bytram> And that's for a neighboring country -- don't know how much overlap there is.
[12:43:38] <janrinok> enough!

[16:52:17] <Bytram> Hey
[16:52:38] <Bytram> Remember the 43" TV I got to use as a monitor?
[16:53:00] <cmn32480> yeah
[16:53:17] <cmn32480> working good, or too big unless you are sitting on the bed 15 feet away?
[16:53:30] <Bytram> I've been looking around for some kind of mount that I can clamp to my desk, and which has an arm I can adjust to move it up/down, fwd/back, twist/shout (!)
[16:53:42] <Bytram> Is great!
[16:53:42] <cmn32480> ok
[16:53:51] <cmn32480> there are toms of them out there

[16:54:02] <Bytram> Almost all I've found have been too small
[16:54:50] <cmn32480> Clamp? Drill? freestanding?
[16:54:58] <Bytram> My TV weighs 18.5 lbs, 43" diagonal, and the panel is 38" width x 22" tall
[16:55:00] <Bytram> clamp
[16:55:30] <Bytram> Oh, VESA mount 200mmx200mm
[16:56:02] <Bytram> I'd like the bottom of the panel to be about 10" above the desk
[16:56:33] <Bytram> ever see anything like that at Lowe's
[16:56:38] <cmn32480> no
[16:56:41] <Bytram> k
[16:56:50] <cmn32480> most of the ones for PC mounts top out at 27"
[16:56:55] <Bytram> no luck at wally world or Best Buy, so far
[16:56:58] <cmn32480> but I will keep my eyes open
[16:56:58] <Bytram> nod nod
[16:57:04] <Bytram> obliged
[16:57:39] <janrinok> is there a reason that you don't want a wall mount? Is it permitted in your appt?
[16:57:45] <Bytram> hence my realization yesterday to check out mounting for TVs, and then realized home improvement stores might be a good place to check out

[16:58:52] <cmn32480> I mean, what's an inch between friends?
[16:58:58] <Bytram> janrinok: Prolly permitted, but then it would also be too far back from the desk (which I mounted on heavy duty casters)

[17:01:15] <Bytram> I saw that one... seems all the adjustments are manual and required tightening/loosening with an Allen wrench. Just look at the hight adjustment, for example. Means hefting and lowering by hand while being able to loosen tighten screw at same time. :P
[17:01:16] <janrinok> the pole mount on the linked stand is 16", but presumably that is to a point half way up the screen. Would that give you 10" clearance from the desk?
[17:02:05] <cmn32480> so you wnat a hydraulic assist unit?
[17:02:22] * cmn32480 looks in Bytram's wallet...
[17:02:50] <Bytram> the VESA pattern on the back of my TV is about 4' from bottom of panel
[17:03:01] <Bytram> cmn32480: yep
[17:03:25] <janrinok> or somebody to hold it while he tightens it up using the allen key - I am also thinking what if it were my wallet...
[17:03:54] <Bytram> If I can wait a while, I'm sure a bunch will become avail when struggling companies unload stuff... just to raise $$$ or during bankruptcy

[17:04:54] * Bytram has lived alone for so long, just assumed would need to sol\o it... and even then, will certainly want to fine tune it after what *seemed* like a good idea at the time!
[17:05:11] <Bytram> no holes in desk, please (grommet mount)
[17:05:46] <Bytram> holy $$$ that costs more than what I paid for the TV!
[17:06:00] <cmn32480> it has both
[17:06:07] <Bytram> k
[17:06:13] <Bytram> still $$ is to much
[17:06:14] <Bytram> brb
[17:15:54] <Bytram> Desk is 60" wide by 30" dwep and 1" thick. I have two reams of paper stacked on LHD and two more on RHS with a 3/4" x 12" x 60" piece of plywood across them. On that, I have a ream of paper under each of the TV's legs. My blu-ray player player and HDMI are centered on the plywood under the TV. Bookshelf speakers on plywood on either side of TV. 3 lappys on desk, each with full-size kbds. in frmo of the plywood riser.
[17:16:06] <Bytram> typos!
[17:16:51] <Bytram> Desk is 60" wide by 30" deep and 1" thick. I have two reams of paper stacked on LHS and two more stacked on RHS with a 3/4" x 12" x 60" piece of plywood across them. On that, I have a ream of paper under each of the TV's legs. My blu-ray player player and HDMI are centered on the plywood under the TV. Bookshelf speakers on plywood on either side of TV. 3 lappys on desk, each with full-size kbds in front of the plywood riser.
[17:20:38] * Bytram just pushed the stacked reams of paper back about an inch or two... not perfect, but it helps and the price was right, too!
[17:21:02] <cmn32480> if you turn them sideways they take up less room front to back
[17:22:09] <Bytram> Would like to be able to have enough space under the plywood to tuck the lappys under it. Would free up a lot of desktop space.
[17:22:54] <Bytram> Not that I put *that* much of a load on 'em, but I am nervous about running 'em with the lid closed. Should I be?
[17:23:59] <Bytram> Tj Max for CPU is 105C and I rarely see it over 70C, peak. But, would be ideal to keep it under, say, 45C so fans are either off or at low speed.
[17:24:07] <cmn32480> long as the fans are accessible it ought not be an issue
[17:24:53] <cmn32480> I typically raise the back end of my laptops to allow better airflow than the teeny rubber pads allow
[17:24:55] <Bytram> once I unloaded amazon pages, my current temps are ~50C
[17:25:52] <Bytram> I cut up a length of 2"x2" lumber into 2" lengths to make cubes and use 4 of those under my lappy to give it plenty of room for air flow.
[17:26:10] <Bytram> MacGuyer has nothin on me!
[17:26:20] <Bytram> =)
[17:26:58] <cmn32480> better hair
[17:27:11] <Bytram> good to know it ought not to be an issue. I suspect that even just one inch spacing would be more than plenty and could prolly easily get away with 1/2 inch
[17:27:28] <cmn32480> definetly
[17:27:33] <Bytram> Better hair? I'll grant you he has more hair!
[17:27:40] <cmn32480> just enougfh not to impede airflow
[17:27:47] <Bytram> nod nod
[17:28:29] <Bytram> you do realize that this lappy I am using right now is coming up on 5 year's use?!!! TYVM!
[17:28:37] <cmn32480> yup
[17:28:49] <cmn32480> I'm glad it has a home that isn't a junk pile
[17:29:01] <Bytram> Can't think of any recycling place that could have got more use out of it!
[17:29:34] <Bytram> Obliged! I think of you often when I use it and how fortunate I am.

[17:30:08] <Bytram> Only upgrade I made was replacing spinny 500GB disk with a 1TB SSD.
[17:30:27] <Bytram> rarely go over 3 GB of the 6 GB of RAM, too.
[17:31:35] <Bytram> That said, I sometimes still wonder what it would be like to have a 16-core 32-thread 32 GB RAM system with a 1 Gbit connection to the net.
[17:31:57] <Bytram> If some is good, and more is better, then too much is not enough! Right? ;)
[17:33:14] <Bytram> But seriously, I cannot too highly recommend using a TV as a monitor. Lappy can at best drive it at 2200x1200, but still a huge step up. No tiny text, unless I want it, either! For under $300, it was *well* worth it!

[17:34:37] <Bytram> never hooked the TV, itself to the 'net, so is just a big monitor and has worked like a champ since I got it!
[17:36:24] * Bytram has been dreaming of pushing this one further back on the desk (hence the desk mount) and then getting two more, angled in on either side.
