Attending Wilco's Solid Sound Festival in North Adams MA. Billy Bragg opened proceedings and it started raining about three songs in but nobody cared much. Gang of Four soon and then Wilco with Billy Bragg who will perform music from their 1998 Mermaid Avenue album of Woody Guthrie songs live for the first time ever.

Always great in used lens ads when they include a photo of the "flawless optics".

Is Marinwood Ready for The Hot Takes? Well, the younglings enjoyed the mosh pit!

We've updated the forum software to the latest major release. This release includes speed, security and visual improvements.

Since this is a major upgrade please post any issues that you run into. -Your Friendly Neighborhood Forum Admin

Thanks Todd! For those with avatar issues - try using the Internet Wayback Machine to pull your old avatar. That's what I just did to restore mine, which was all of 4kb.

My avatar is gone. When I try to load a new profile picture, it fails because it's over the (new) 104.2 kB maximum. Since all my avatar pics have been from my phone cameras, they have all been in the 1mB to 2+mB. I suspect that the members, who lost their avatars, had avatar photos over the 104.2kB max. I'll eventually get around to making and uploading a thumbnail version.

Finally have local AI downloaded and running. So ... Yeah, I can do that, now. EDIT: And I got GLM-5.2 running! Abysmal speeds but when I need it, I got it!

Luaka Bop: Zero Accidents On the Job (10th Anniversary release - now an additional 26 years old... we're getting up there). The CD is labeled "advanced" and "promotional only" so tracks not perfectly aligned to what I'm seeing elsewhere. Anyway, a blast to revisit and hear remixes & inspired by for those who took the journey with David Bryne through South (and eventually Central) America. Ex. Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow

And @MexicanDragon your avatar has gone.
