A relatively chilled day working from home today. Just needed to work on a paper and admin stuff so no need to get any lectures recorded for online delivery.

Chilled in the sofa - horizontal naturally - TV on but rather annoyed that three posts of mine on a FB Gay men’s group for the over 40s that I joined in March were removed by an admin as they were deemed “spamming” - 3 youtube songs I posted in the space of 8 hours. Grrr!! :mad::(:rolleyes

It would depend on the genre of song

Ah, Panda Killa - saw your post on the last page. Very sorry for your loss.

It is indeed awful to have to be the bearer of bad news to someone who you know will not react well. I’ve been there myself.

Hugs!! :D

So, got up in t he brilliant Sun, came to where I will be working for the week, it's bloody freezing & looks like rain
It's gonna be a long week.

Panda Killa

It's actually bucketing down here..I looked out the window and had to do a double take.... might be good of the forecasted storms land over the next 3-5 days....no beaches..parks...walks etc...give us a chance to start reopening the country if the hospital numbers came down.

I think some of them were supposed to be on methadone so god knows what they took. They’re living in that homeless hostel, poor devils. Hopefully the other two are alright. Heard something about the batch coming from Portlaoise.

The 19yo girl is from my neck of the woods...she was one of 8 children...knew that she had slipped off the radar when she was 17.. but had no idea how bad things were ...
Anyways...I think today I sit on my arse...eat crap food and binge watch the earlier Simpson seasons

This guy is totally oblivious to isolation, yesterday he decided to plonk himself beside two ladies doing yoga and sat watching them for 15 minutes.

Is there a way to embed photos from a phone?
The menus listed in the instructions posted here recently, aren't showing on my phone.

Good morning all

It's taken a turn for the wetter.

I s'pose it's good timing. If the hot weather continued unbroken, everything would be parched by mid May. Now everything will be lush and green.

Trying again to upload from a phone

OK method #1 as explained to me last night works.

Attach your photo and post it.
Then copy img reference from that post
Edit the post with references that needed to be removed.

Should work.

Trigger Happy

Am in the proper work office. On my own. Bliss.

Deskside with new coffee, "organic Mexican" please stand by as I will be giving my verdict on whether it comes sephers approved or not

Deskside. Raining here too, can't remember the time last time I got up to rain. I guess it keeps the country green

I am Jack's jealousy... I may have forgotten to purchase decent coffee recently... so it would seem Dave is all out of the good stuff... Any chance of an espresso Sephers??

Sephiroth_dude

Well still deskside , this organic mexican is interesting, the Cherry blossom flavours attack your tongue from the off and leave an interesting after taste and I'm to announce it comes sephers approved 😸

An espresso ? really? I won't lie I'm offended..........

but ok just so happens my younger brother likes them as well and he got a frother yesterday


:pac:

What kind of coffee would you normally buy Dave?

ChippingSodbury

Well, seeing as everyone else is learning how to embed images, I decided I'd give it a go too! This was from Monday evening's daily cycle. We do the same one every day: it just never gets old...

Step 1 doesn't work for me because when I press the symbols buttons for attaching photos I'm asked for the url of my image.


Rain very strong here too.

Doesn’t it give you the option of posting from your phone photo library? Once uploaded to Boards, you can find the URL.

No just a pop uo box asking for the url. No "select from..." like you'd expect to see.

I found a paperclip button in Go Advanced that brings you to a pop up window which has the upload from...bit.
Ill go over the pisted instructions from there, later. Thanks

Hmmm... you'll probably think I am a peasant... but I buy Nespresso... it's convenient I do have some Guatemalan ground beans here but it goes against my lazy side and I couldn't be bothered dealing with that mess of the coffee thingamajig after

Currently trying to work out diction software in between replying to "important" emails one-handedly. I decided lecturing from home wasn't awkward enough so I broke my wrist, thumb, and middle finger earlier this week. Came back to literally 110 emails this morning from students and faculty, and am about two days behind on my (self-imposed) work schedule. I'm really looking forward to trying to mark the 76 undergrad essays I'll get Friday morning with one functional hand.


Side note, much praise to my local A and E for how they dealt with me - I rang before heading in to say I was in the extremely high risk category and was quite worried about going in to hospital with the virus. They went out of their way to make sure I was protected and interacted with as few people as possible, and I was in and out quite quickly. I know the HSE has problems, but I really have nothing but positive things to say about from a personal perspective.

Oh no Bolgbui that's a right pain in the arse! Hope your not in any/much pain. Can I ask how you managed to do that??

My little niece broke her wrist and like yourself in and out with little fuss. They put a softer cast on and told her mam to just remove it herself at home in a month, no follow up. It's funny that a few months ago I would have been disgusted by that. 'The lazy feckers won't even give the child a check up!' but right now I think it was a very sensible move. Kids heal so well.

She fell off her skates. Is that what happened you?

Have you tried reusable Nespresso capsules?

No Smurf, I didn't even know they existed! Are they offical? I used unoffical capsules on a previous machine and they wrecked it

Not quite, but not as far away as you might think - I fell out of a tree. Because I am apparently not in my late 20s, but 8. I mean I was cutting ivy off a hawthorn that is on the verge of falling if it's not freed, but of course my family are just focusing on the fact I fell from a tree. They are greatly amused and I am not sure I will ever be let forget it.

They aren’t the cheapest thing, but if you have a favourite coffee and want the convenience of the Nespresso machine, they should work for you.

Hahaha this really made me laugh. Absolutely the spin my family would put on it too!

Still deskside, was gonna go for a walk down the park but I don't think I can be bothered, too many people down there the last while, people taking up footpaths chatting and not moving out of the way, clowns.

Fuming watching Gemma O Dohertys stream yesterday on the quays. These people getting up working 12hr days to keep the rest of us safe, and they’re subjected to that abuse? Should have been dragged out of the car and arrested. Shameful behavior and am disgusted she’s taking it upon herself to speak for the Irish people, she doesn’t speak for me that’s for sure.
