    As part of my ongoing efforts with videos, I recorded my recent wood working project to craft an art pencil box for the wife.  Following the project, I had several hours of footage, which I finally managed to start to tackle last night.  Audio is non-existent – the video camera mic is terrible, and I…

    So, if you have been a long time follower of my website efforts (which would surprise me if there is anyone), you may have noticed that my ability to routinely and regularly post a daily update has improved with this most recent iteration.  Previously, I would post something every day, but then after a few…

    Not much of an update today, I am dealing with a sinus infection that is kicking my butt.  Haven’t been able to concentrate on much more than breathing and occasionally eating.  Upcoming this weekend, we have our next session of Pathfinder, and next week likely will do some additional Armada. The YouTube videos are doing…

    I continue to study and learn the details of the Davinci Resolve software, so that I can better edit and adjust videos.  It may or may not be visible in the last couple of postings, but each time, the quality improves incrementally.  Certainly there is a lot I still don’t understand, but each day I…

    Finally back from my regular travel schedule again, this time for more than just the weekend.  As part of my work, I routinely travel to Toledo, which although it is a nice enough city, is not home with the family.  It also makes it difficult to work on my various projects and activities.  Hopefully this…

    It required a few extras days of tweeking, but after my recent issues with the FreeNAS update, I finally have the ability to upload files at the appropriate size limitations.  This means I was able to finally post the Tree template I created recently, as well as link to a couple of new YouTube efforts…

    It ran until late last night, but I can say at this point that my recent FreeNAS rebuild/upgrade is almost entirely complete, and definitely running well at this point.  There was quite a bit to learn, what with the change from Jails to Containers, and all the new configuration items, which was not made any…

    Over the weekend, I began to notice memory issues on my FreeNAS server which I use for many purposes, including hosting this site.  Initially, my thought was a hardware problem with the memory, but at this point, I am suspecting it was either a problem with the FreeNAS OS code, or potentially just a bug…
