Yum yum! Those are indeed delicious.

I hated them as a child, it was slimey and bland like eating a tube of gum. Thankfully these are different variety, so crunchy and sweet.

They can grow quite long, up to 14 inches. This is old, I'm keeping it for the seeds when I have to replant one day.

So I'm having my first internet outage whole working from home.

Picked a great time. My wife needed it and if course I'm using it as well.

Must be something serious as they said it won't be fixed until 17h00.

At least my software appears to be working at the moment so I can keep working on general.

Like clockwork May update installed on the Pixel 3a.

Same here. I'm going to wait a week before I install it though.

We're trying to grow them as well. No luck so far. Peas and tomatoes are doing well though.

they grow very easily here, needs sunlight and open spaces.
The backyard is only about 30x15 feet. We planted some mint, Thai basil, mulberry, Malabar spinach. Squeezed in couple of papayas, a heavily pruned moringa tree and some wild birdeye chillies...
We tried establishing some vines of passion fruit (makisa) earlier on but it didn't grow well.
and 5 kittens running around

We have two types of mint, Thai basil, regular basil and Malabar spinach as well. Passion fruit is surviving but not yielding a lot of fruit.

MoNa seems to be working again on Android. The iPad app is still wonky.

MoNa seems to be working again on Android. The iPad app is still wonky.

It's been wonky for the past week or so.

Well this is quite intriguing.

Pocket-lint: Nokia 9.3 PureView might channel the Lumia 1020, and we're fine with that.

That's what they said about the 9 Pureview...

Yesterday I thought I posted something on here but I guess I didn't submit.

Anyway, I had and I'm going to continue to have, a bad week.

Yesterday some idi*t cut a fibre optic cable taking down my area and several others.

When I say cut, I mean purposely. Vandalism. Apparently this has been happening since December last year.

Now for those of you not familiar with what fibre optic cable is. It's basically glass wire. To fix a cut means using specialist tools to join things together again. This takes a lot of time.

So my internet is down until either 8th or 9th.

To say working has become difficult would be an understatement.

I asked IT what to do and they told me to buy a WiFi dongle and use mobile internet. I'm using a desktop so no WiFi built in.

Mobile internet is fine but I probably wouldn't get the dongle until after the cable is fixed.

So a bit useless.

That just plain sucks.

For the first three weeks I had no issues with remote access. Once the first issue popped up, I have to restart my laptop at least once a day due to the remote connection freezing. I. T. had transitioned 10K workers (up from 1600) to remote access.

This federal government response to COVID-19 has me more scared of that and the covidiots roaming the streets vs the actual virus itself.

I went for a walk today because it's nice out.

That's just so many people around.

It's not looking good. Next week will be worse with the loosening...

If I have to work from home a while longer, I will. The issue is the size of the apartment isn't conducive to us both working from home at the same time. That's what has made this process more stressful.

There's a part of me that's grateful for now I can work from home. There's another part of me that says working from home in the current space has some pyrrhic undertones to it.

When the medical ship came into town, people packed the piers to see it. When the blue angels and thunderbirds did their flyover, people packed the piers to see it. I understand that summer is massive in every city, it's a different animal here in NYC. For instance, we would be gearing up for Fleet Week. New Yorkers are so used to an abundance of choice in terms of gatherings it has made the restrictions on social constant that much more crippling.

So I can emphasize with the need to be out, it's just lots of people won't respect the nuances needed to be out. That's the scary part.

Whenever someone cuts one of Ma Bell's fiber optic lines, whether accidentally or otherwise, they just smile and hand you a fine from the Flori-Duh Public Service Commission in the amount of $10k. The true cost is about $2k so they encourage you to break many and often. Almost forgot, the state also levies a $7,500 fine if you didn't call for location services 72 hours prior to sticking a shovel in the dirt.
