    Thanks to the templates I have created over the last few episodes, my editing this week is actually ahead of schedule. Having said that, I am of course going to lose ground this weekend again, partially since I simply said I was ahead, and partly due to pre-planned events. In particular, we have a busy…

    Republishing my Patreon page got me motivated to do a bit of site cleanup. As a result, I cleaned out some old links that were simply not being used – no more Instagram or Twitch. If I ended up deciding to use those in the future, I can always re-add. What little content I have…

    Years ago, I attempted to get a Patreon page started and running, to help fund these activities. Of course, with my small audience, it never really gained any momentum. Honestly, I never really produced enough content to justify any interest anyway – so it wasn’t much of a surprise. At this stage, I believe the…

    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…

    Small update on the job front – I have still not received any confirmation from the old company as to the option for me to return to work. At this stage, I have to conclude that it is a done deal, and move on to the job search option, if only because the medical insurance…

    Happy 4th of July holiday to all my America visitors. I hope your celebrations are safe with any fireworks or outdoor activities. 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.
