  • Another rebuild

    In my continuing quest to fine tune my home computer network, I am tackling another reorganization.  Currently, this website and some other functionality is residing on an Oracle VM Virtual Box configuration, running several virtual machines which each in turn run Ubuntu.  It dawned on me, that the same computer which runs the virtual box…

  • FreeNAS 11 upgrade

    As previously posted, I run much of my home network (and this website) on a FreeNAS server, currently running version 9 after a recent downgrade from the failed version 10 release.  Recently, FreeNAS 11 was released as a stable version, so I have been eager to upgrade to the new functionality – but hesitant due…

  • Testing the twitter link

    Apparently my recent rebuild also lost my twitter link, so recent posts had not been auto-posting to Twitter.  Seeing if that is working correctly now (fingers crossed).

  • Pathfinder video content

    Its taken a while with recent distractions, but I finally managed to finishing editing for content length the latest gaming video of our Rise of the Runelords game.  Still need to do another pass for graphic additions and perhaps sound, but almost there.  As a result though, today’s post was running a bit late –…
