Linux Move Complete!

I mentioned a few hanging issues on my move to Linux (again) and I'm happy to say that all of them have been fairly easily resolved and completed. Now I can move on to doing more again. Shared Drives As suspected, the core issue with getting the mounts to work was with the device IDs in the fstab file. I managed to sort that out and map the drives to automatically mount, which meant I could move on the adding them to sharing things with Samba again. I did end up having to rebuild the Docker drive interim, though it…

What I’ve Been Up To (2025.06.28)

Just for a change of pace, I'm not going to bitch about not being able to blow money on random things this week, instead I'm going to talk about blowing money on random stuff this week. Because I could, and I did. But first… Music I decided to spice things up a bit in my music listening by pulling out a bunch of random singles tracks from my huge library of music and throwing them on my phone. I'm not even reall done doing this yet really, because I have, a LOT of music. But I also pulled a few…

Everything I Write About, All At Once

I feel like a broken record sometimes, but for a while now, I have been pretty heavily organization my digital stuff. It's always been "pretty organized", but I've gotten a bit lax with like, temporary dumps, and changing gears halfway and not quite committing. My latest commitment has been to Joplin. I've got... basically all of my writing, over decades, in Joplin now. I have also gone through and added tags to everything. Simple tags, which was the point, but tags. There is a bit missing. I have a handful of documents, primarily old school documents, that just, lend themselves…

What I’ve Been Up To (2025.06.21)

Pretty standard week really. We went shopping on Sunday for shoes, though I did not end up getting any. I didn't really need shoes, but there was a Khol's sale and coupon and basically the potential to stack deals into a deal. But no one ended up getting anything at Khol's. I was told I was not allowed to get these sweet cat Heelys by my wife. Laaaaame. I did pick up this Wallet at Ross. I probably won't use it forever since it technically does not have enough card slots, but it will be fun for a while. I…

What I’ve Been Up To (2025.06.14)

Another week, another post. Let's dive right in shall we? General Life I've had a couple of ongoing projects going on for a while. Both around getting some digital stuff organized. One, I have a zillion bookmarks, and I've been working on building a personal "Digital Garden" for many of them. A lot of them are just bookmarked for potential reference, so sorting them down into a bunch of markdown files sorted by topic is more useful than a cluttered menu system of bookmarks. I didn't work on that much though. I did work on sorting my personal document library.…
