I wanted to make standard BlogText images thumbnails appear in a nice row. While possible, I haven’t been able to figure out how to get captioned images to work the same way.
I could manually shape all of this by using raw HTML in my posts and wrapping things in span/div/whatever tags, but I wanted to keep wiki-able stuff.
I failed.

After taking another pass at a bunch of Linux distributions, I feel it’s important to detail the most important things to me.
This can now be here to act as a kind of checklist for considering a distribution.
Windows > Windows 8.1 >
This is a fairly complete HOWTO for modifying Windows 8.1 so it’s sensible and “oldschool”.
I want to remove all of that fancy new shit and make it look and work more like the earlier versions of Windows, e.g. Windows XP.
- 2015-08-01 – I switched from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 (Windows 10 configuration).

~2015-05-03 – I migrated from Windows XP (Windows XP configuration)

Web browsers do too much.
Many of their features can be replaced with specialized software which does the job better.

Tiko is a unibody 3d printer which I backed.
To get this working, I had to really push hard to get the filament to load. This was a frustrating first experience. I was then entirely unimpressed with the quality of its prints, even after a lot of fiddling.
Later, when I returned to use it, it seems that filament has snapped off inside it, and it thinks its loaded and will not load new filament. Heating does not remove it. I fiddled a lot, once more.. I’m giving up on it, it’s garbage.
I did end up fixing it.. after giving it away.
See Tiko first impressions. It fails, hard.
- It requires a wireless internet connection.

You require a wireless connection to it.
TODO – THIS IS UNFINISHED – it needs some redoing, clarification and screenshots.
TODO – make a separate page for Gibbed
It’s difficult to move items between characters.
Gibbed really helps solve this.
This was tested on Windows 8.1 in late 2015, and on Windows 10 in early 2016.
