    Missed my regularly scheduled post, thanks to a series of distractions.  Most notably was playing Total War: Warhammer with my son, but I am also dealing with the tail end of a sinus infection, and the gout in my foot seems to have returned.  Overall, a rough day, though I should be thankful that at…

    Those who know me know that my ability to deal with car maintenance is limited to oil and washer fluid, or adding air to tires. My son however seems to have a knack for it though, as he quickly and easily replaced the tire on the back of the car. Perhaps this might be a…

    Spending the evening working on the wife’s laptop, to upgrade the factory stock SSD drive from 512 GB to a new 1 TB SSD drive.  Most of the effort is relatively easy (cloning the drive), but the real challenge will be the actual replacement.  For various reasons, laptops these days no longer have the “easy”…

    Although the audience for this website continues to stay small, I am able to announce that the “staff” of contributors has doubled.  Not that any of this is a paid effort, but my oldest son has decided that he wishes to help contribute, so we have set him up with the ability to add screenshots…

    Over the weekend, I spotted a notification that YouTube was altering the monetization process (how you make money on YouTube).  Specifically, until a channel has 10,000 views or more, they simply won’t play advertisements or monetize – the channel is too small.  By all means, I don’t blame them, they need to make sure that…

    So I had a grand plan to start my painting miniatures series last night, and even organized, packed up, and hauled all the gear out to my location so I would be ready.  Miniature primed and ready to go, camera charged and set.  And then work develops an issue with one of my clients, with…

    A couple weeks ago, I purchased a couple of new notebooks, with the intent of managing a variety of activities.  In particular, I wanted a way to track the various work related activities.  I had previously experimented a bit with the process known as Bullet Journaling, but fundamentally, I couldn’t really get behind the method.…
