Welcome to Blaugust 2023

Welcome to Blaugust 2023, I guess, I'm not real sure what that means aside from, maybe, MAYBE, a bit more of an "intense posting schedule". I dunno, I subscribe to Tales of the Arrgonaut blog in my RSS reader, it's apparently something they psudo run each year and have done so for a while, and it seemed like an excuse to motivate more writing. Details on Blaugust are on his blog here. After signing up it seems it isn't required, but it's also sort of originally for MMO/game bloggers. I actually do of course have a games blog, but I…

Various Activities of Late

It's been a bit since I really just wrote out a regular blog post so I thought it would be prudent to do so, mostly just touching on some of the stuff I've been doing or thinking about recently. I'll just break things up a bit into some sections, for easy skimming/ignoring. Old Writing Every so often, I get this weird bug to just delete all of my old posts and start fresh and the old content all sucks and blah blah blah. Then that never really works out as hoped and I kind of miss having all the old…

On Getting COVID

Technically, I am writing this after the fact, but it needs done. COVID sucks. Omicron seems to not really care about vaccines or masks at all, and while its less lethal, it still is rough. I don't know where I got it, most likely while in Chicago, and most likely at the concert. Unlike the CHVRCHES show, there was no mask or Vax requirements. I had worn a mask anyway while inside. I doubt it was the Zoo, that was barely busy due to the weather and mostly outdoors. Where does not super matter. I definitely "got it" first, or…

New Desktop PC

My new desktop I mentioned at the end of my last post arrived. I am fairly good about adjusting my workflow when changes or upgrades happen, but this particular change in it's nature, is incredibly disruptive. My whole process kind of stems out from a source, which for the most part, is either my laptop or my desktop. If I were to get a new laptop, not much would change. Most of that workflow runs off of shared drives or cloud files. On the base level, the desktop works the same way, the real trick I get to deal with…

Endlessly Learning

One thing I have always done in my life is worked to constantly be learning something. It may not actually be a useful something, but it's something. Back when I was finishing up my degree in 2003, I was telling people that I wanted to get the RA job in the dorms so I could just live there for the rest of my life taking classes. Granted, the RA position only meant your room was covered, I don't think it covered any of the course work expense. Fortunately, we live in a world of connected possibilities, or whatever buzz word…
