Is This an Illegal Rent Increase Notice? Let’s Unpack it!
Let's unpack this. this is supposedly the 30-day notice for the rent increase/new lease. They actually stuck these in unsecured TUBES where the letters can get wet, blown out, accidentally removed by someone not paying attention, yada yada. Oh, and there's no guarantee that anyone received these. (Prior to this, they were stuck on our doors or included with our rent bills for December.)
These days, they have an online portal where they can do this stuff, yet, they chose unsecured tubes. Why did they choose UNSECURED TUBES to deliver the rent increase notices? It's not illegal, but they'd have a tough time proving they gave 30 days notice, esp over THANKSGIVING WEEK!
Right...

Are You Ready for National Novel Writing Month? National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is an annual event held every November, during which people around the world attempt to write a 50,000-word novel in just 30 days. Founded in 1999, NaNoWriMo is both a writing challenge and a community event. Participants, often called "Wrimos," join for the camaraderie, motivation, and discipline the event provides. Many use the month to jump-start novel ideas they've been wanting to write, while others tackle entirely new concepts in order to broaden their author abilities. “Winners” hit the 50,000 wordcount goal by midnight on November 30. It’s important to note that National Novel Writing Month offers no formal prizes. Authors simply get the satisfaction of hitting their goal and possibly having a novel to publish at the end of the month.

Well, quite a bit, you might say. I've been almost exclusively working on my Youtube Author Life Channel. Of course, it's under my name. I'm an author, and it's about my life trying to make it as an author and freelance writer. It's not pretty. It's real. I talk about how I am really treated every day. What I do to get my groceries. The challenges this job causes. And pretty much everything else.
Here's a video. I was trying to get the Youtube to embed, but they are using a bad technology for embedding. It's iframes, and it's highly susceptible to scammers, fraudsters and criminals as far as what I have read about it. SO, you can visit my Youtube channel. Here is the intro video.
And this was awful to try and get in here. I have a hosting provider that is stuck in 1995. Oh, except they implemented an unhelpful AI bot to answer questions on the weekend.
My question was - Where is the INTERNAL FTP? It gave me directions for EXTERNAL. *sigh* I may have to change hosting providers as horrible as that is to do.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock or miraculously, you have everything you need, including water, electric and gas, for the next several years, you are probably getting hammered by stupidly high prices. I can tell you that I am completely fed up with this PAY PAY PAY society. And as fiction and freelance writers, its our job to write about these atrocities. However, it might be more difficult if you’re a fiction writer. There’s just a lot to unpack for a fiction plot.

Well, I figured I'd continue this computer drama story. I got the adapter today around 10 AM. I disconnected the old adapter/splitter, rearranged some wires and turned on the machine. None of the monitors were seen. That was irritating. Turns out that the graphics card in the machine is rather finicky. I did get all 3 monitors seen, except I got 3 exact duplicates of the screen. With the new DSP to HDMI adapter, I got one monitor. Fucking fantastic. Am I surprised? Of course, NOT! This is my luck all day every day. Nothing ever works the way it's supposed to or the way I want it to. I ended up cleaning up the other splitter/adapter and plugging it back in. I figure since it was off the machine, it should be degrimed.
What the next step? At a bare minimum, I need a new graphics card that supports three monitors. If I happen to have spare money beyond that, I should double the RAM. I could also buy a new HP420, but that wouldn't solve the monitor problem either.
At least, I'm no worse off than I was before. I have 2 working monitors. It's just proving to be a challenge to get that 3rd monitor to display correctly.
In other news, I have finally started the audio for Little Bitey 22.
- The monitors finally arrived at 3 PM. Very very very very late.
- So much for these monitors being here at any semblance of on-time.
- Delivery Tomorrow for Anyone Who Orders Those Monitors Today, But I've Been Waiting All Week!
- In True Amazon Fashion - Amazon Has Shipped the Splitter Without the Monitors!
