I updated C'YaPass in the Windows app store.
You can see it in the app store[^]. Its 100% FREE & open source.
User Experience
Anyways, everything went well with the update so I went to update it on my Win10 computer so I could get the user experience and see how it all worked.
When I visited the app store and looked at the app, it didn't say anything about there being an update.
I was confused -- it had been more than 24 hours after my windows app store dev account said it would be available.
Reboot - Nothing
I rebooted and visited the store again. Again, nothing. It showed that I owned the app but nothing about updates. I started the app from the app store to see if it would trigger anything. It started the older installed version (1.4.7)
I didn't notice anything. Then I decided to shut down the computer and check again later.
WinGet COM Server
When I attempted to shut down the computer, I was notified that some process was running and asked if I'd like to kill it.
I canceled the shutdown and looked in Task Manager and I saw this (snapshot)[^].
WinCOMServer => WindowsPackageManagerServer.exe... and that thing is eating up some process. Wow!
I decided to wait until that service completed.
Yep, after that cryptic service completed then the App Store (which I had closed previously) now had an [Install] button -- but not an [Update] button like it should. Oy!
I ran the install and the latest version 1.4.8 was installed as expected.
So, that is the user experience...

Just concluded a fifteen day tour of seven countries in Western Europe. Had visited the US more than 10 years ago.
Noticed a similarity in the graffiti font on the walls, in Europe and US. The same styling of letters, the same leftward slant. In more than half of the cases.
Is there someone who teaches the graffiti writers about this so-called graffiti font? Cannot be just a coincidence, isn't it?

I'm guessing the styles evolve by people playing off of each other's designs. It's similar with music.

Yes, I noticed that some years ago when I was travelling in Europe regularly. I had previously thought it was only in the UK.

But marginally better than the alternative. I am up in the night (every night), but manage to get back to sleep until around 0630.

More than a decade ago 1 to 3 AM my time was the peak of activity on Warcraft 3 servers. Which resulted in countless wasted nights on my behalf, but it’s a beautiful game, it’s a good way of making friends too.

When you love what you do it shouldn’t matter if it’s Monday or some other day.

I agree. I look forward to Mondays. As the cliché goes, I enjoy what I do, so I've never had to work a day in my life.

No worries - as an aside , how many ~ spammers do you catch a day on here ?

I have absolutely no idea.
It depends on the day, anway: we tend to get a spambot wave about once a year, and that can be thousands of spams a day. On the other hand, some weekends you can count 'em on one hand.
If I had to guess, a "normal day" would be less than 100, but more than 20.

It doesn't take long, and it helps keep the site alive - ads pay the server and staff bills, so if too much spam gets through it could impact the paying ads, and possibly make the site non-viable.
Plus, when we do get a spam wave you can't see a damn thing on the site except sh*t.
