• 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 […]

  • The recent Armada game was a good chance to attempt to video and record the game, for posting on YouTube.  It was played as a straight forward 2v2 game, using our typical random mission (Base Defense Fighter Wing).  Both sides started very evenly, and the game ended up very close, with a couple of solid […]

  • 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 […]

  • Its been a while, between house projects, travel, and other distractions, but I am going to try to get a game of Armada together with my son George on Friday.  If others from our gaming group are interested, perhaps turn it into a larger game.  But we haven’t had the time to play, though he […]
