Thanks Antje, and yes, just over a week till she arrives
 

RE: Puppies. I was given a puppy sling and carried my puppy out on walks with my other dog. She wriggled a lot. A man who lives on our street carried his labrador puppy in a harness on his chest until it was quite large, which appeared more successful.
 
@helensaramay be careful waht you wish for I'll do my best to oblige!

@ert I still walk quite often with the friend I used to walk with in the afternoons with her dogs; I'd like to do that still, and I'd thought about a sling/harness. After what you've said, I'm off to explore it again before she arrives.

Here goes nothing. I didn't start insulin until the 12th of June so the 8% high was during that time.

Oh gosh, my bf and I were talking about our secondary schools. My secondary school changed their name and also tried to join forces with a grammar school, not too surprised on that one because my school was awful. However some students did go to good universities when I was in sixth form. But anyway, there was like 5 teachers that are still teaching I remember back from when I was in school. Oh sweet memories
 
I'm so silly, I bought a Korean planner because I love the way Korean students use it to help with their studies and... I can't even read Korean. Y am I like dis?

Don't worry. I have a Japanese high end double din touch screen stereo in my van. The the sat nav says the. vehicle still thinks it's on a dock in Tokyo. But the unit is pretty intuitive for the music..

The NTC card unit did have to go... I got sick of being nagged every time I started up that I had no valid card. I assume that's what the voice was saying, going by the tone & inflection. (& the fact I didn't have a toll road card incerted.)
 

Never used Linux. I use Apple & Windows. Both seem to work together without any issue. I'm assuming Linux has caught up with the "big two." Only one way to find out... Try it.
 
@Diakat - I've used Linux (many years ago and it was a very old Red Hat distro). I couldn't tell you where the servers are now. What I can say is that Linux is the overarching name for a system of open source software that functions as an OS. Unlike Windows or Apple there are many varieties of Linux system - distro's - and all work. Some have a desktop that functions in a windows-like manner, others are almost DOS'ish in their simplicity.

You may well be able to use your chosen piece of software with Windows - a lot of open source is designed to function on many platforms, it depends on who has helped out in the development of the software - but it might expect you to have a Linux distro.

All you can do is find a server, d/l the software and give it a go.

One thing we did do years ago was have a Linux desktop machine linked into our home network (helps that husband used to be a professional network systems engineer before retirement) - so that we could have the fun of playing with it without the frustration of the learning curve that comes with having to use a new system.

It’s for work thing so I’m going to have to ask IT before I download, otherwise I would have had a go yesterday! Oh how sad it is to feel the weight of responsibility and not want to beak the work systems. I was just wondering if anyone would say something I could paraphrase in my request to them “apparently it’s well known that modern mainframes support pen source...” thus making me sound less like the idiot who had a brainwave on the train but actually knows nothing about how it might work beyond “it might work”.
 
Or you could run a dual boot system on your own computer and choose at boot which system you open into - Windows or your Linux distro? I'm toying with the idea of running a dual Android/Windows boot system just to see if I like Android on a lappie.
 
Ah, that might be my line then “lots of open source stuff works with Windows” ..,
 


Mainframes all used to run on Unix - which is a flavour of Linux .... so unless it's a dedicated windows mainframe, it might run a Linux distro as well.

OK now I’m lost! That would be for IT.
 
I'd phrase it as a question - I have found this software which does this. It runs on Linux so I wondered if you knew of a comparable Windows program, or is there a way we can d/l this to function within Windows?
 
All Windows did was slap a user interface on a system that was easy to use - DOS, which came before WIndows and I loved deeply, ran on a text based interface. Now it's graphical with pretty images to click. Linux distro's missed out the pretty bits and stayed text for yonks. Most of them now have a graphical interface and are a doddle to use.
 
Good morning everyone, hope you are all well and the BG's were on their best behaviour during the night, mine weren't !
Anyhow, it's a new day, front garden needs cutting so will do that later and maybe go another walk, on my first cuppa, so a second one is needed as I'm thirsty this morning.
Have a good day guys and a safe one
