As thorough as they are it is tough for me to imagine those folks failing to have every element properly licensed unless...MS has a large and very adept licensing team that I have worked with a lot. As thorough as they are it is tough for me to imagine those folks failing to have every element properly licensed unless the project manager somehow managed to use something not under their blanket licensing terms.

Comment on People who work from home: what you do on your breaks? in ~life
wistar LinkI take few breaks and those that I do take are usually forced by renders. I try to design my workflow so I kick off production-quality (s-l-o-w) renders at times that are good for breaks although...I take few breaks and those that I do take are usually forced by renders. I try to design my workflow so I kick off production-quality (s-l-o-w) renders at times that are good for breaks although some are long enough that I have a break until the next morning. I will take a walk, read or even nap during the day when no one else is around. In the evenings, I might cook dinner or watch something good on TV.

• Windows updates for several machines that I suspended updating for and for which the update suspension ends tomorrow. I expect some pain as people are reporting black screens after updating on similarly outfitted machines. Grrr.
• Buying some Copper River (or Yukon River) king salmon and making something good out of it which is very easy to do as long as it never goes over 128°F or so.
• Measure a part of my yard and begin sketching out some ideas for raised-beds to fill the area.
• The monthly Costco run for coffee, their awesome Ti Point Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and dog food.
• Try to find something at least a little bit as good as the HBO Big Little Lies I binge watched these last few evenings. Perhaps Netflix's Dead To Me?
Uncle Tungsten by the late and great Oliver Sachs. A memoir of his life as a boy in WWII Britain threaded into a chemistry-oriented tour of the elements. This goes well with Asimov's excellent The Search for the Elements.
