Re: Uggh. Lousy day. - Today

I hope it gets a lot better, Ombligo. QuoteOmbligo Trust me - it could be worse, much much worse. I won't go into details now, but this could be the worse day in my 60 years of life. I would trade you in a heartbeat, but would not wish this experience on anyone (though we will all go through it) Give your daughter a hug, tell her you love her.

Uggh. Lousy day. - Today

Have a temporary medical thing which has me feeling under the weather for a day or two, and 14 year old daughter exacerbated some stuff at school, was sent home for a couple of days (bad decision on their part, IMHO), and I just don't have the energy I want to have. uggh!

Re: CCC with Big Sur - 6 days ago

For a 2015 MBA, and using an NVME SSD in an external USB enclosure, I tried using CCC and couldn't get a bootable drive. I tried to install Big Sur directly, and transfer the data over with CCC and SuperDuper, neither worked. Finally I took the existing working install out of the MBA, installed the NVME SSD in the Mac, put the SSD that had been in the MBA into the enclosure, booted from the e

If it were me, I’d go over and talk to the guy, and ask him what his story was. Note that he hasn’t done anything else for 35 years. And you really don’t know what he did. So be neighborly, stop assuming the worst, and go say hi. If you get a weird vibe, that’s info. If you don’t, that’s info. It’s not like it’s contagious.
