The Joys of Aging

September 7, 2024

My eldest had their first sporting event of the year on Thursday. Since they’ve started high school, I’ve tried to volunteer where I can. This year my I can really feel my age.

I'm Bad For Linux

September 5, 2024

Today I came to a startling realization. I think I’m bad for Linux.

Yubikey Issues

September 4, 2024

I started using a Yubikey for quite a while now. I picked up the one I’m using now at work. Our corporate IT team just setup a table and asked people if they wanted one, no charge. Why say no to that? It’s worked flawlessly for me for years now. That is until now.

Mobile Technology

August 31, 2024

When I was 18, I dialed into a BBS and chatted with people in my local area. Most of us were there because the number was local, and none of us wanted to pay long distance fees. Today, mobile technology makes this seem comical.

House Of Failure

August 30, 2024

I haven’t mentioned this on Fosstodon, or really anywhere online, but my wife and I have been in the middle of purchasing a house. The title of this post is more than a little spoilery, but I’ll tell the sordid tale anyway.

So, what’s in 6.9 that’s exciting?

Runner's High

August 28, 2024

I’ve recently started running again. It’s been a while. For a long time, I did rotating days of a quick mile and a slow three miles. I stopped after I injured my left ankle somehow. I’m not sure what I did to it. I’m American, so I didn’t bother to go to the doctor and have it looked at. Things are starting off again pretty slowly, but I did want to briefly talk about the runner’s high.

Alice Grove

August 25, 2024

I’m a huge fan of web comics, and I read several on a day to day basis. There are some that are no longer being updated, whether it’s because the author lost interest or the story reached a logical conclusion. One of my favorites to this day is called Alice Grove.

And We're Done

August 24, 2024

I’ve finally finished my final project for my current class. There’s nothing to do now but wait and see how it all came out.

Working Weekend

August 23, 2024

It’s Friday and the weekend is here! Sorta. Work is complete for the week, but my final project for my class is due tomorrow, and there’s still work to be done.
