The TechnoNerd Escaped
By Daddy
Las Vegas — I did get the current version of the backend moved to the test server. That's as far as I got. The cheap video switcher I was plannig to use was released in a new version. Not as cheap, but oh so many new features. Enough so that I updated the design for my planned video blogging system. Once you let the TechnoNerd out, time moves quickly and before I knew it, it was Sunday Morning and time for production. It did for a fun fantasy weekend.
We are once again short on reviews because I suspect of the novel coronavirus self-quarantine rules in effect in most places. We're heading into the peak of the outbreak, so I beg you please: "Be safe, Be sane, Be Healthy." We probably have several weeks before we can put this behind us!
I'm doing fine, just having to watch my pennies until about the 18th when a good commission check from flirt4free is expected. To all those that have donated, Thank you! Any help is appreciated. Here's a link to the How to Donate Page

'Tiger King's Saff Still Wants the Best for the Animals
By Mikelle Street
Cyberspace — In the crazy hectic world of big cats, career-long feuds, and murder there sits Saff. The relatively new Netflix show Tiger King has gripped the internet over the past few weeks and with it, it has brought a cast of chaotic characters. By the end of the series, almost no one comes out unsullied by scandal save a select few like Saff, for whom the safety of said big cats (and all the other animals on the properties) is paramount.

Frank Ocean Released Two Moody New Tracks That May Calm You During This Crisis
By Andy Towle
Cyberspace — : “In addition to being notoriously private personally, Frank Ocean is an aesthetically perfect artist for an indefinite period of self-isolation. As sparse, heart-wrenching R&B ballads about the beauty of love and loss, ‘Dear April’ and ‘Cayendo’ are both automatic entries into the canon of his songs for lying in bed alone, solemnly staring out a window, or just generally getting absorbed in your thoughts.” (More)

These stories, coupled with initial public health guidance that only targeted older adults and those with underlying health conditions, falsely reassured everyone under the age of 65 that they had little to worry about if they contracted the disease. Even worse, by focusing on the coronavirus’s impact on older adults, we failed to convey the vital role that everyone, regardless of age, has to play in stopping the spread of the virus. The only way we are going to get through this pandemic is by staying at home as much as possible and limiting physical contact with others. (More)
