Back in August and September of this year we had a series of thunderstorms here in North Carolina that knocked out power multiple times at our apartment.
Hello world!
Pardon the dust. This website has sat unused for quite some time. Initially tried to go back to PyroCMS (which I last used something like a decade ago) but the install process was awful and in the end the install was just broken. So back to WordPress we go… Still debating if I want to […]
XP & Hyper-V
I like Hyper-V a lot. Runs as a service, can sync guest startups and shutdowns with the host, and on top of everything it’s free. Built into Windows, if you know where to look.
Car Talk Weekly Puzzler 08-02-16
Received this puzzle via email today. How do you make a 31 day calendar (each day being double digits) using 2 cubes, with each face only having a single digit? RAY: This came from Jonathan Cox, from across the pond. He writes: I have a stylish little desk calendar that consists of a cradle for […]
Community Fileshare
So this was a pretty rough adventure. The goal was to have an area where a few friends could upload and download files. The biggest reason for this being that my servers have fairly decent connections, with speed and latency being very favourable. One thing I noticed was that if user 1 uploads files into […]
Making Progress
So far I’ve made quite a lot of progress with the Octopress/Jekyll migration from Ghost. I had to swap out some tags from markdown to liquid (such as image tags) but I like the ease of adding media. Video for example is a lot easier to add to my posts, because Ruby handles the insertion […]
It’s Alive
Man this was time consuming. I’ve been working on this for the last 7 and hours or so. It’s still not “done” but it’s working! In all honesty, this would’ve been a lot smoother had I not already had an existing Github Pages repo. I should’ve just nuked the entire repository and octopress installation hours […]
Migrating to Jekyll
Working on migrating everything over from Ghost to Jekyll using Ocotopress & Github Pages. Man this isn’t easy.
Windows’ Settings app crashing
What’s happening here is when you click “Update & security,‘ the first page automatically loads. This page is Windows Update. If you don’t let this page load fully before continuing, say to the Backup page for example,the application may/will crash. If you leave it open long enough even not on the tab, it won’t crash. […]
TV Show Tracking
So having just finished Person of Interest season 4, I thought it would be a good idea to update my SideReel account. SideReel is a nice site that I’ve neglected use of for quite some time, even though I’ve had an account for a little over 4 years now. I’m just learning today how unfortunate […]
