Last week I had a 4 gig memory module fail on my Mac Pro, dropping me from 24 gigabytes to only 16 gigabytes of memory – the additional lost 4 gigs being due to memory being in pairs on Mac Pro systems – the loss of one 4 gig module meant I lost access to […]
This morning before work I was using my Mac Pro for, well, Mac Pro things. By that I mean watching stupid junk on YouTube and checking on my BBS. I’ve not actually turned the system off in a week, and had been doing some reasonable work on it before and was curious; just how was […]
Can’t blame me for trying, right? This morning I got up and waited for the stroke of 10 A.M. central time for Xbox Series S/X preorders to begin, hoping there was a chance I might be able to secure one. I failed in that task. Trust me, I wasn’t seriously expecting to actually snag one, […]
Gaming is, very clearly from this site, a major hobby of mine, at least in the context of it’s very important to me. I actually don’t play games as often as one would think – I spend quite a bit of time working on various projects and rarely actually find time to sit down and […]
I mentioned in the last post that I’ve been, quite literally, putting off the inevitable of getting back to publishing content to this site. It is, after all, my “main” presence online – my hobby, my method of expression to the greater world. It’s certainly not something I’m just going to give up, even if […]
Over the past few months I’ve written very little. I’ve been making a lot of time for myself, working on some other projects which I intend to write about here and, most critically, somewhat stepping away from so many things which are a source of stress in my life. Be it stupidity online, situations in […]
It’s been damn near two weeks since my last update, and I just wanted to chime in and say I’m fine and things are okay on a whole, beyond the fact it’s nearly 100 degrees every damn day now (38 Celsius for those of you in the rest of the world) and that’s incredibly exhausting […]
This is just a post to update readers that things are as fine as they can be on my end of things. The world is in a hell of a state right now — well, mainly the US is. The continued political strife is as heated as ever and, exactly as anyone with any sense […]
I’ve not written much this month as I’ve been recently taking quite a bit of time to just indulge in some other hobbies of mine and detach from all the chaos going on in the world right now. I covered this in a bit of detail in a previous entry, and touched on some of […]
Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’d have to be aware of the rather chaotic state that things are in in the United States right now – between the COVID-19 pandemic we’ve also had yet another issue of police oppression and this one seems to be the straw that broke the camels back, as […]
It would be just like me to not get the “what’s coming” article for the next month out until we’re already 3 days in the month, but what can I say, I’ve been working on other projects the past few days and really making some headway into some things that I will, hopefully, write about […]
It’s incredible how many people can’t follow basic instructions and are unable to do something as simple as cover both their mouth and nose with a mask when out and about. I know I’m not the first to talk about this, and this article has been planned for a few weeks but I never got […]
I’ve not been posting much over the past few weeks. Normally I say that this is due to me being tied up with other things or just not feeling it, but in this case it’s the opposite – I’ve actually been incredibly productive on fronts of both my day to day life and side projects, […]
If you’ve been to this site at all in the past few months you certainly will recall the rather beautiful, yet very “heavy” theme I had switched to, known as “Pen” and will certainly notice that, for now, I’ve switched back to the older theme I had been using: Frontier. This isn’t because I don’t […]
Nothing lasts forever, especially in the realm of technology, and as much I hate to admit it even the items in my modest collection can, and sometimes will, give up the ghost and just become inert hunks of plastic, metal, and sometimes glass. That, however, will not happen without me putting up one hell of […]
