    Perhaps I am overly obsessive, but since I am newer blogger, I tend to check my daily stats with some regularity.  More from a sense of small accomplishment, rather than any expectation of a growing audience.  However, since I rebuilt my FreeNAS server, which meant a restore of the site, my visit count has crashed…

    Unfortunately, timing and events conspired, and I broke my recent string of consistent posting each weekday yesterday.  As such, my count gets to reset back to 0, and I start again.  Overall, not a bad run, I think I managed nearly 2 months of consistent little articles, which for me is a personal best.  And…

    This listing will end up rather technical, but it is mainly for my own use, to catalog my current FreeNAS configuration and hardware specs.  If you find it useful to model after, so much the better.  As for general performance, I have been very happy with FreeNAS.  As a comparison, we as a family routinely…

    So, after quite a bit of development and experimentation, I found out that apparently the Corral release of FreeNAS (FreeNAS 10.x) has been abandoned as unsupportable by the company that releases it.  Fundamentally, I don’t fault them for their decision – if there are too many problems it doesn’t make sense to keep it going.…

    The good news is that I will have a longer period of time before I am backlogged by our ongoing Pathfinder gaming schedule, and the associated video production.  The bad news is that it is because we will not be playing the campaign during this week’s scheduled sessions.  With school wrapping up, we have players…

    Entering the world of YouTube video creation has been an interesting journey so far, with several challenges.  How to handle the stresses of posting regular videos, and handling the feedback associated.

    Attending a cousin’s wedding this weekend in Indiana, should be a good time.  Unfortunately, my editing of the Pathfinder game will take another delay, but hopefully I can still get it finished before next weekend.  Doesn’t help that I am scheduled to be back in Toledo next week as well, which makes all the computer…
