Good Morning! I hope your weekend is as fabulous as ever! My weekend has finally arrived for however short a period of time that is. I have some good news about my schedule, they have hired a new girl to take up some of the slack and pretty soon I will at least get my Thursdays off back again after this next one. I am ready to cut my hours, six days a week is killing me, lol. It has been good for the budget however, and for that I am grateful as I have had to spend a grunch of money on the car. I also have some other items on my financial agenda. So it is all good in that $$ department for now.
Our exploration of Windows 10 continues to be a more positive experience for me than for Will although I do have to correct my post from Friday just a bit. Xanatos does indeed have issues with the Dolby Surround Sound. It seems Sony has not licensed it for Windows 8 or 10. Will has contacted Sony and has even created a Support Topic at Microsoft as apparently he is not the only user to have experienced this particular problem. So eventually this problem will go away. It was Will's laptop that had the video driver issue not Xanatos which is where I misinformed you on Friday. Will did find a work around for that one and is beginning to want to stay with 10 instead of reverting to 7 because he was so pissed at 10.
I have found I do not like the native screen saver programs as they are slightly different than on 7. I have always used the bubble screen savor as it lets the underlying wallpaper show while still protecting the monitor. In W10 though, it throws up a blank screen behind the bubbles and all the great wallpapers I rotate through do not show through. So I tried their pictures option, and it has a tendency to hang up and leave just a black screen up. So I activated the screensaver option in Picasa3 and it works just fine allowing me to select the source folders which I want it to rotate through. I chose all my photos of places and things rather than my man art so that any innocents that happen to observe my screensaver will not suddenly be confronted with a ginormous dick in their face by surprise. And I still can't get the alarm to make any noise. However my computer usage differs vastly from Will's and my less advanced technological needs due to my usage, and the fact that most of my stuff is not overly complicated has eased my transition to the new OS. As everyone is eventually going to have go to W10, I am glad that it works for me with out too much BS. We will keep you posted on the experience.
Now for your Sunday morning Concert I have selected some most tasty works by Johannes Brahms for your listening pleasure. Posted down below is a wonderful interpretation by the young Georgian violinist now living in Germany, Lisa Batiashvili. Her playing is quite unique - I would be very interested to hear what viewers think of her exceptional technique and magnificent sound. The very unusual kettle drum cadenza accompaniment is very dramatic. As far as I can make out the cadenza is by Busoni. Unfortunately the orchestra, conductor and venue are not listed but that will not detract from your listening pleasure as this is a most excellent performance all around. Over on my tumblr I have Ivo Pogorelich playing Brahms' Variations on a Theme of Paganini, Opus 35, recorded live in Rotterdam in October 2014. The Variations were the fourth and final piece in his wonderfully performed recital.
Then to open your eye this morning I have a bevy of beauties gathered for this week's edition of Naked or Nearly So! that is sure to have something for everyone. They are waiting for your cruise and peruse down below. Meanwhile over on my tumblr, your Hottie of the Day! is serenading you with "I want you to want me...". Thanks for sharing part of your Sunday with me, see you again soon. Until next time as always, Enjoy!
