  • Site updates

    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…

  • FreeNAS Day 2

    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…

  • FreeNAS Overhaul

    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…

  • Kitchen Remodel

    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…

  • Recovering from the weekend

  • Time for a visit

    Tonight marks the start of my dad’s annual visit, arranged this time specifically to be there for my youngest son’s birthday (which is this weekend).  Always a good time, never long enough, but frequently challenging what with the kids ongoing complicated schedule (and my own).  In this case, we have basketball practice, basketball games, and…

  • Review – Lego Batman

    Had the chance to see Lego Batman with the family yesterday.  Overall, I would say it was enjoyable, but not very fulfilling.  As a long time Batman fan, and a fan of Lego, it could have been a very fun movie.  And in general, it was fun.  Unfortunately, it just felt like it didn’t really…

  • Lego Batman

    Taking the kids to see Lego Batman this evening, hopefully going to enjoy it as much as the reviews seem to imply.  I always like Batman, and who doesn’t like Lego, so it should be fun.  Not much of a post otherwise, most of my day has been focused on work related tasks, so not…
