I just finished today's tale and Adorable has my tower at minimum functionality. Since she's already working on it, the next order of operations is to get subtitles working on my version of Kdenlive. So I can stop bothering her for the subs to my videos. Huzzah.
At least I got the self-maintenance done. Yay. I'm taking that win.
Packing the cold pack seems to have worked, as I can keep it cold in Adorable's spare fridge. All I'm lacking is a means to keep it elevated. I can deal with that.
And as a bonus to the technical difficulties' fix - I now have more drive space for stuff. Cool.
I don't know about playing catch-up with the videos. I think I'll treat myself gently on that count. Get back into the swing of it and apologise for having a commpy implosion.
And now... today's offerings.
