    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…

    Missed my post yesterday, because I very simply was too tired, sore, and distracted to do so.  This weekend was our long planned kitchen remodel, in which we planned to replace the rest of the cabinets, fix a number of electrical concerns, and repaint the kitchen.  The theory was a 2 day project, which I…

    It was a fun filled weekend, as is common with my Dad’s visit.  However, due to the compressed schedule, I need a bit of time to recover.  My dad typically arrives late on Thursday, and stays until Sunday, during which time we try to pack in as many activities and events as possible, including swimming,…
