    Been a while since I posted anything about my home server, but ended up having to a handle a distraction of the last day. Late last night, my home server decided to inform me that the boot drive was failing (a USB drive). After a reboot to validate, several of the applications ended up failing…

    Another Gencon is done, and our group managed to survive without casualties. Only major challenge was the loss of my credit card after the first night, which fortunately was only missing, and not stolen. Caused a bit of a disruption, but we were able to adapt. Unfortunately, what I was interested in sold rather quickly.…

    So my concerns about my past job turned out to be a bit premature – they came thru last week and finally managed to get the initial decision overturned. As a result, I am back to work as of today, with back-pay to be processed since the start of the “vacation”. Of course, now that…

I will be staying home myself, and keeping the dogs comfortable with the sounds of explosions going on outside, and perhaps doing some grilling of burgers or hotdogs for the family.

    It seems googly eyes make everything better. Some time ago, I attached a pair to my 3-d printer, and then due to a lack of projects, forgot all about it. Started a new project yesterday, and was pleasantly surprised to see the printer staring back at me in the camera. Gives me a chuckle each…

    Been suffering quite a bit of slow activity recently, and missing my own schedule for postings. Given that I have tried to make this into a daily habit, it causes me a bit of stress each day that I end up missing. However, life and work seem to be troublesome at times. Most of my…
