Death (Hallowe'en approaches, but not for other month or so), taxes, (they say both are unavoidable, but, what do "they" know?), my French classes (homework and revision doth both beckon) and the books I have waiting for me in the library, where I am eagerly examining the number of "holds" that were placed before mine, and thus, how long I may expect to have to wait before some tomes fall into my waiting hands.
How much I dislike posts that end in the user's name. It makes sense to sign off on a letter, email, or comment in a mostly inactive forum, but when you write two words and then put add your username… I just don't get it.

Happy to see a Blue Jay hopping along the lower part of our roof underneath our living room window. The Jay made the mew-mew call and positioned itself upside down on gutter to look for food.
They are so cute (and one is cawing behind our house now).
Just taking the day as it comes.

Re the wrap there... does squinting while tilting my eyeglasses a bit count as cheating?
Re the rest: love hearing the jays call now as they try to sort out who's gonna own what when the snow flies.
That's frustrating, isn't it?! Huh, your MBA isn't all that old, either, is it? Sounds like you're taking the right approach by doing the update and restart process first...... BT can be finicky at times! What do you have connected? Mouse? Keyboard? Headphones? Could something be wrong in one of them that is causing conflict with the MBA's BT connectivity?
Spending this week doing my home office up. I’m at the point where I’m wondering if it is all worth the while? The mess, the effort! I keep having to tell myself it’ll be worth it in the end.
I’m having some laminate flooring fitted tomorrow and then want to paint the walls (I know, should of painted the wall first). Not sure what colour to paint them and am looking for inspiration? Any ideas?
So far thinking dark green or dark red?

2017. Still had issues throughout the day. Freezing, not starting up after sleep.
Just my headphones today. Mouse and headphones yesterday. Frustrating.
If you are going to spend more than an hour or two a day in there I would suggest a lighter colour.Spending this week doing my home office up. I’m at the point where I’m wondering if it is all worth the while? The mess, the effort! I keep having to tell myself it’ll be worth it in the end.

Dark green I think always looks nice.Spending this week doing my home office up. I’m at the point where I’m wondering if it is all worth the while? The mess, the effort! I keep having to tell myself it’ll be worth it in the end.

Might be interference somewhere. I‘ve had BT trouble with this 2013 iMac for years. Partly why I use a wired keyboard.
That said, all the PC laptops I test ran recently had very sensitive BT that picked up devices from the neighbors downstairs!
Hope your MBA BT is behaving itself now.
BT was fine for the rest of the day. But the Apple wired keyboard I use regularly has issues to. I'm thinking there must be some hardware issue because its one problem after another at the moment with it. Its a work machine so not mine thankfully. Next time I think I'll get a MacBook Pro.
Yes, possibly hardware. Hope you can get an MBP for work that has the current magic keyboard.
It would only be a new one! But I will try and soldier on with the Air for a bit. Our IT manager who hates Mac's says it should still work fine at only 3 years old. I remind him that 3 years of my ownership is like 6 for the marketing department as I do a lot more hours than them!
Hows things today? Been drawing at all lately?
Today is good. Drawing yes, but would like to resume bird doodles. Think I’ll go back to drawing them for a while.
Hope you & Mrs. AFB are good. Any new photos?
Not of the birds. I went out for a day last week as I was off. Nothing spectacular. But it was good to enjoy one of our last sunny days.
We have been getting long tailed tits visit us now. They are so cute.

Neither.
Firstly, as @Northern Man - below - remarks - if you have to live with it, and spend a considerable period of time daily in the room, a lighter colour will be easier to live with.
Second, strong colours work best in a generously proportioned room with a high ceiling and large windows that both let in a lot of natural light, and also serve to break up walls with blocks of bold, strong colours; bold colours work very well in such a room, one where the colour is strong but doesn't dominate - think of those Georgian or Victorian drawing rooms, or reception rooms - where the proportions allow for strength and robust colours to be expressed, but not at the expense of everything else.
Basically, I think the room you have in mind for such bold and striking shades may be too small, and the ceilings too low, to carry this off successfully.
Agreed.

Thanks all for your input. I’ll be spending most of the day in there so a magnolia/cream colour might be best. A nice clean neutral setup.
Torque is a twisting force, while power is a measure of the rate at which work is done.
Torque, T = F*d, i.e. a force “F” applied at a distance “d”, from a point of rotation. Units are Newton-metres, N.m, (or foot-pounds).
P = T*ω, where T is torque and ω is angular velocity (or RPM*2*Pi/60). Units of Power are N.m/s, or J/s, which are Watts (1 hp ≈ 746 W). s is seconds; J is Joules, a measure of energy, in this case rotational energy.
Does that help?
The math isn't tough. It's being able to fit that particular pair into a meaningful mental model that I can visualize that's tough for me.
Why not have an "accent wall" in whatever bold color suits your taste, with the rest being more neutral?
The time it takes to recognize the song takes longer. I remember there was a time it took like 1-2 seconds and it figures the song out. Now it takes sometime longer. Also its ability to identify songs has got lower. I would turn it on and sometimes I get no match.
