Today we painted and posed West German Panzer Grenadiers for #TeamYankee. They still need the Waffenfarben borders for the stands. Light green for Panzer Grenadiers I think.

Microsoft Build Cloud Skills Challenge – May 2022

Its that time again. Microsoft has another online conference underway and they’re offering up another free exam voucher for a select block of roles related to the conference. You can check it out by following this link Microsoft Build Cloud Skills Challenge – May 2022 . Spend a few hours over the next month and score an exam voucher, worth $165 USD, to sit a Microsoft exam for free. My last three exams were paid for by Microsoft vouchers provided for free after completely Cloud Skills Challenges. A little effort, some reward. Win win!

Update: Finished! Another successfully in the bag.

PS4 Hijinks

Bought a PS4 from a friend to replace the PS4 in our house which is on its way over to son’s new apartment.  I only have one game on the old one so that should be an easy data transfer right?  Well, first you plug both into the network.  Then you go on the new one and go into settings and select data transfer.  Then you log back into the old one and update the system software.  Then you log back into the new one and deselect all the games you don’t own or play.  Then you proceed with the transfer and it takes 114 minutes and transfers 354GB of data.  Then you login to the old one and shut it down.  Then you login to the new one and put the disk for The Last of Us Part 2 into the drive.  Click on the PS logo, “You must first delete the game from the external storage or attach the external storage to this device”.  Oh, ok, then you login to the old machine and from the menu delete the game from the old device storage.  Then you login to the new machine and click on the “The Last of Us Part 2″ logo and……..”You must first delete the game from the external storage or attach the external storage to this device.  You may also reinstall the game from disk”.  Then you put the install disk into the new devices……nothing happens.  Delete the game from the new device.  Put the install disk back in the new device.  “Installation will take from 15 to 20 minutes”.  Then you delete all the games you deselected when you transferred the one game you wanted. Mmmmmm, ok.  Why do I need to transfer from the old one to the new one again if you’re just going to make me re-install?  Maybe something to do with the external storage?
