FreeNAS Overhaul
Over the weekend, I began to notice memory issues on my FreeNAS server which I use for many purposes, including hosting this site. Initially, my thought was a hardware problem with the memory, but at this point, I am suspecting it was either a problem with the FreeNAS OS code, or potentially just a bug…

Rebel Fleet dispatched
Its been a while, between house projects, travel, and other distractions, but I am going to try to get a game of Armada together with my son George on Friday. Â If others from our gaming group are interested, perhaps turn it into a larger game. Â But we haven’t had the time to play, though he…

Kitchen remodel time lapse
So, I had the intent during our recent project to film the entire effort, and then provide a time lapse video of the entire process. Â The good news is that I collected a lot of footage, on the order of 100 GB of 720p video using my recently acquired camera. Â The bad news is that…

Trees!
When you game, assuming you use a battlemat or tile system, how do you typically handle trees when the group is adventuring in a forest? Â In my case, on a blank battlemat, I either draw a rough line to indicate the edge of the forest and define one side as clear, and the other as…

Video software
After my post yesterday, I ended up spending a significant amount of time researching video editing software. Â Certainly if I am going to start filming activities, projects, and games, I will need a means to efficiently process and edit, and post them for viewing. Â Of course, since my website receives practically no traffic, I also…
