First 7 minutes are important. Target is 100 to 150 nanomoles per litre(nmol/L) in the blood. 1 IU of vit D required for a 10g mouse.
-> 60kg human requires 6000 IU.
Start with 3000 IU a day to be conservative.

Topics by time:

6000 IU a day perfectly safe.

400 IU == 10mcg for vit D.

Calcifideol is stored in blood not the fat. Storage form of vit D.

Standard vit D supplements and from skin production takes about 1 week before it gets into the immune system. Calcifediol much faster. Matter of hours.

Need to boost immunity before an operation. Hence, vit D level check.

It takes very high dose to cause over dose. Don’t take calcium supplement unless medically needed.

Vit D is inflammatory modulator. Autoimmune disease == inflammation that is not being switched off. Chronic inflammation -> cancer.

Calcifediol is easier to overdose. Only take if sick. Best not to take as a regular routine. TODO: Dr. David C Anderson does take it regularly. Find video to put here.

Availability in Australia.

Don’t know how much or whether deficiency is a big problem. Is there enough in food?

My Win10 PC

Windows 10 Home 64-bit

8GB RAM

Intel Core i7-6700HQ @ 2.6GHz

Intel HD Graphics 530 / nVidia GeForce GTX 960M 2GB VRAM

Conexant SmartAudio HD / Logitech G35

This is my current PC.  Just need a post where all the info is in one place for other articles to refer to.  I wonder how many times I will say “this is my current PC” as time passes.

Here is a list of all the games that I have played (which means it works) on this Windows 10 PC.

Game Rankings Return

The game rankings is alive again.  With that comes the game comparer as well.   They are ugly and not the simplest to use, but all the functionality is there.

All my old game reviews must be restored before the thumbnails and links can work.  Then I have to figure out how to integrate it with WordPress properly and make it easier to use.

Rolling Back Rolling Reviews

Rolling reviews are not working.  Each thought can be added to an overall review quickly, but sometimes there are multiple points that must go together. Unfortunately, these points can be thought up at different times and this simply disrupts the flow of already posted thoughts.  After two games, it is back to the normal review process.

Rolling Reviews

Time to get back to reviewing games (since I already play them) .  Time is also the issue.  Just don’t have the time to play the games enough to write full reviews in good time.  Let’s try rolling reviews.  As I play I will write whatever comes to mind at that time for that thing.  Over time it will build up to be a complete review anyway.

Another plus for the rolling review is, years later I may return to a game and find something new and update the review.  Games get updates, why not game reviews too?

The framework is ready.  I just hope this site holds together as I have overloaded the standard WordPress stuff in every way imaginable.

My old reviews from the Posidyn Games Information Base will also be returning, albeit in a very bare bones form.

Change Table Prefix on WP Install

When installing WordPress it is a good idea to change the default table prefix “wp_” to something else.  It may not help with security that much, but there is no harm in making the quick change.

Don’t make the same mistake I did.  Changing the table prefix after installation is very complicated.  Well, complicated to me anyway.

Here is an article with a good following discussion about the default table prefix – https://www.wordfence.com/blog/2016/12/wordpress-table-prefix/

And here is a view from the other side of “the fence” – https://www.whitefirdesign.com/blog/2017/01/03/wordfence-spreads-falsehood-on-database-prefix-security-hardening-to-push-their-plugin/

Bookmarks Anywhere is Back

Bookmarks Anywhere now live at
https://posidyn.com/ba/

Bookmarks Anywhere is a little tool that stores bookmarks that can be accessed from any browser. It even works on Lynx, but you need the version that can access HTTPS and it gives the error message “SSL error:Can’t find common name in certificate-Continue?”. It still works, though.

I did not make Bookmarks Anywhere for Lynx, though. Instead, it was made for the Kindle e-reader. Sometimes, I just want to read certain pages on a Kindle. This tool makes it easier to do so. No app required. Everything is done through a browser. Just log in and go.

As much as I have tried to make Bookmarks Anywhere as safe and reliable as possible, it is still a “use at your own risk” tool.

Although Bookmarks Anywhere does not look anything like the rest of posidyn.com, the tool still requires cookies to work properly.

Just to be clear, there is one advertisement at the bottom of the bookmarks list page.

To keep things tidy, accounts that have not been accessed for one year will be deleted.
