Merry Christmas from all of us at the DOH! Network.
Not sure what the deal is with Plex Media Server and Slim Server. Plex Media Server is used for streaming movies to your tv from a dedicated Linux server but for some reason, ever since we moved into the temporary facilities and now to the final facilities, I can not get the latest version of Plex to work. It won't let me in to the server config so that I can set it up. I finally installed a crusty old version that will run but it won't display movies on the tv. And the Slim Server software is the latest version but it won't update the library to find my recently added songs.
And what's up with my Netgear router? I can't get to the admin page anymore. Stupid electronics!
The new videocard came with a free copy of Monster Hunter: World. Monster Hunter: World includes Steam Trading Cards. Now that I have passed level 40 on Steam, I have an 80% change of getting booster packs once I complete the badge for Monster Hunter: World. It seems like it is taking forever though to get those last couple of cards. I have one card drop remaining and then I will have to search the market for a the cards I am missing. I have been lucky so far in that I was able to purchase a booster pack of 3 cards with some gems and get 6 of the 10 cards with only 1 duplicate so far. If I can hold out till December 30, more of my gems become available and I should be able to buy another Monster Hunter: World booster pack that will hopefully get me the cards I need plus the 1 remaining drop. The cards can sell for between .12 and 16@cent; in the market so I am hoping I don't have to buy.
Started playing The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim again yesterday. It didn't take too long to remember why I stopped playing. Investigated a small hide out not far from town and ended up getting so much food that I couldn't run the mile back down the road to the town. Ended up taking like 3 days to make it back and the merchant was closed so I couldn't sell any of it. Ended up getting arrested. The graphics have been turned up to max settings with the new videocard but everything still looks drab. Need to see if I can find a mod that makes it looks a little bit more cheerful.
When we moved into an temporary facility while waiting for the new facilities to be completed, we were worried we might not be in on time and so rented through December. Things worked out and we were able to get in right at the end of November and out of the temporary facility December 3. Just got a bill for December though. DOH! But wait. What's this? Somebody is already renting and living in the temporary facilities. It's illegal to rent the same place to two parties. Oops! Myabe it was a robo-bill but always drive by the old place and make sure somebody's not trying to take you for a ride.
Officially have all of my stuff out of Public Storage. That's one less bill to worry about.
Was out walking the dog today and AT&T is in my area messing with their equipment. Remebering there was a fiber cable in the connection box in the closet I asked Tex if they were going to be running fiber all the way to the house. He said yes. I should be able to order it as soon as Wednesday. Woooooo! Well, woooooo if it is not too expensive. Have to wait and see if I can get a handle on the budget now that we are in a new place and expenses have changed.
Stupid Smart tvs. I've got a tv that the wifi went out on like just after the warranty expired and now that we are in our new accomodations I am able to hard wire a bunch of devices again and when I plugged this particular tv in to the network, it updated itself and took more apps off than it had before. Now pretty much all it has is order movies from this tv maker's movie store. Thanks but no thanks.
