    So I think I finally have a handle on this podcast idea, and just need to now go thru and convert prior video content into audio-only podcasts.  As part of that, I will need to record some intros and closing sections, since much of that is currently a static image in the videos. As part…

    So just when I am starting to get comfortable that my network and server configuration is nice and stable, of course I suffer an outage.  If you had been trying to reach my site over the last couple of days (since Saturday), most likely the connection was up and down.  This was due to an…

    Had a bit of excitement over the weekend, when I was notified that my credit card was being used in San Francisco to take Lyft trips.  Normally not a concern, except that I have not been to San Francisco in many years.  From what I can tell, during our recent trip to Disney World, our…

    Although we have previously worked on a number of home repair and improvement projects, it isn’t really a move until the boxes arrive.  Our plan this year has been to sell the house, and move to a larger home, to fit the growing family and collections.  However, until recently, not much has actually progressed.  So…

    A couple years ago, during our trip to Myrtle Beach, we adopted a collection of hermit crabs for the kids.  As these things happen, they became the pets of the wife instead, and over time, various things were added, including at one point a streaming webcam with the intent to record and review their nightly…

    Travelling back and forth for work again, due to a problem with travel approvals internally in the company.  That prevents me from heading up earlier in the week, and going home later, and instead makes me need to travel up and back in the same day.  Basically, I can charge mileage without needing approval, but…

    To any American follows, happy 4th of July!  There won’t be any other content post as such today, since I will be out with family and friends enjoying some food, fun, and fireworks.
