    I hear the weather is getting pretty bad in Ontario right now. Heavy snow over there. Scary stuff. :-(

    It's December. It's normal. Happens every year. Relax.

    Ok, out of interest, I'll be interested to see if

    http://tlp.zapto.org/melbourne/test.shtml

    renders any better... its the same data just simplified display of it.

    On initial load it'll look like

    http://tlp.zapto.org/hidden_stuff/loading.jpg

    and then resolve into

    http://tlp.zapto.org/hidden_stuff/rendered.jpg

    The video is loading or unsupported is just the ALT tag for the IMG url so it will always show up. Beware there is a definite load time before video will start rendering. The one time I've reall looked at it remotely I was surprised
    just how long it takes.

    This one is now working this morning when I tested on my main machine.
    It also is now working on my laptop running 386-raspberry (Buster).
    It's a old llaptop, that struggles with heavey distro's. Even lubunto was
    a bit much.,

    What's the laptop? Maybe its worth trying an older distro? Might open up a can of worms all of its own though. Ponder... not sure how it'd go with kernel but
    how about something like eeebuntu? It might work, it has to cope with Celeron-D's and ATOMs

    It is working since you made the changes to your site.
    The laptop's a Asus AMD E2, 1.2Ghz dual core, 8gb ram and a 120Gb SSD..

    The 386 of the raspberry distro workes better then other distro's, and
    that's why I installed it.

    Sounds similar to the ol' EEE701SD, except its got even less grunt... :)

    Celeron-D 800Mhz, 2Gb RAM, 7GB SSD (Chuckle)

    I s'pose I never gave it a real workout, but the thing was capable enough with eeebuntu or... I have a copy of lubuntu there too but never use it. Ok, I have eb4-b1 or eeebuntu3.0 both of which gave a reasonable response. Enough to use as a media centre, or as a webcam driver. Used to have it on Hammy Cam, of Herman the Hamster. There's also a copy of peppermint I flirted with briefly but didn't like so much.

    Yeah, I only tried XP on the EEE, and it was like a snowman, abominable...

    That is a difficult enviroment for grass to enjoy without water for
    sure. We tend to reach averages like that late July through August ..
    I'm still suprised how humid it is here in Indiana, compared to the dry heat I'm used to out west in Colorado, Utah, Arizona, etc... 85 degrees with a high dew point is unbearable. That is when we usually see grass

    That's one thing I love about New Mexico. We get some nice heat, without the humidity. Lately, we've been in the 85-95F (29-35C) range. Although we have
    had some humidity with it. It's about 20%, which is high for us. We're typically in low single digits for humidity.

    go dormant. I do have an irrigtaion system however my wife usually
    starts bickering by the time the water bill shows up in July from June.

    The only things I have to water are the rose bushes. We have 3 huge bushes in the front, and 4 in the back of the house. I've never seen so many roses, as these can produce. :)

    I've been to New Mexico almost 100 times, it's one of my favorite places!
    The food ... I so miss true hatch chili .. mexican food out here is like
    pizza sauce poured over a burrito. I've bought a lot books to master the recipie of NW style Green Chili, and i'ts pretty good; however I have to buy the Hatch chilis online and have them shipped. I haven't found a reasonably priced roasted, frozen, packed, and shipped. However the jarred ones are OK. The baloon festival is a site to see, as are the monsoons!

    I do know that 505 does sell them online. I'd have to look up the website... (www.505southwestern.com) It's amazing, as I don't eat *that* much green
    chile, but if I'm traveling somewhere that doesn't have it available, I'm craving it. :)

    I used to love Balloon Fiesta, until I had to deal with all the traffic...
    From work, I can just look out the doors and watch the balloons. Amazing
    sight to see.

    I love 505, by bar the bests in a jar I've found. I did not like the brand ZIA, they were not sicy enough despite "HOT" being labled on the jar. My favorite resaurants there were El Patio and Sadies, El Pinto was pretty good too but not a quick stop to grab a bite to eat. I'm assuming they are still around but that better restaurants have surfaced over the last 15+ years. NM was part of my region, when we had stores out there, and I went there once to twice a month. As the plane would begin decending, my mouth would water.

    As my luck would always be, I was only scheduled to be in Albuquerque once,
    in 8 or so years, during the balloon festival. But it was amazing. The
    moth season thing was kind of creapy at first, but cool as long as indoors watching it. I can imagine traffic being a challenge during that time. Back when I used to go Albuquerque was not a very big city so traffic never seemed that bad.

    Yup they are still around. There are some others that are pretty good too. Little Anita's has some good food, and their green chile is second only to
    505. :)

    You should come back this way again. Nothing has really changed, but it looks completely different. ;)

    I've been amazed at the changes that have happened in the 12+ years I've
    lived here. Some are actually for the better. :)
