Frustrated

Post by jayphailey » Mon Mar 17, 2025 9:59 am

I want to SAY SOMETHING

but I don't have anything to really say

The next Omoikane piece came together. I am adding to it brick by brick, but it's slow

I am tired all the time and it sucks right now.

Working on it

T^hat's my general state.

I got something cooking, finally. I'm adding little by little. The trick is....

I'm not going to tell you, except by telling you the story.

I got up today. Better to say I groaned to life-ish.

Yesterday morning was good. I have been rearranging and cleaning up the computer hardware. Discarding the no longer used KVM switch. I needed either a longer VGA cable or a female-female adapter to link two together.

Cleaning out the connection for Music Man I found the FtoF adapter I needed, the very one I had just been looking at the price of on a cable I was discarding. Fight the fucking screws on the VGA connectors (one always does) and move it to Black Beauty.

I still need to get under on the Music Man side. The Amp is unplugged. I don't know that I have physical spoons today. I still have cable I'm trying to clean out. Some unused USB cables, long ones. And an even older KVM cable with PS2 jacks. Rather than get a new correct 25 foot KVM cable for Music Man I ran the USB I'm removing and continued to use the VGA part. Original KVM switch was VGA and PS2. New one now old is VGA and USB.

I'm glad you're making progress.

I figure I'll throw moves tomorrow while doing laundry

Still not working. I'm hoping the switch on the power supply is turned off. If not I have bigger issues. Ghodd this is one stumbling block after another.

What's not working? You'll need to do a slow, relaxed, detailed visual inspection of Music Man. My prediction - there's something you took for granted and looked past that's getting your way.

Or, do it the lazy way and ask Susan to do a visual inspection of the thing. She'll see what you're overlooking easily.

As my power systems teacher said "Check the easy things first." Check all connections, in detail. I bet you pulled something out of it that you forgot that you took.
