The Remodel is Done

Except for the two pickup loads of leftovers and some odds and ends to take care of, the remodel job is essentially done.

I’m still working on getting my computer room back. It got a new wood floor too.

Until some update wants a reboot. It's connected to IRC for me. I thought getting the alias working was an ok upgrade. Some devices I found were windows only. No mention of Linux. I knew better than go there. I also wasn't looking to spend a lot of money to keep my old desktop connected to the InterWeb. This was under $20 and some of my time to figure out the driver. My Rhino thumb drive is actually bigger than the device. ================================================= I'm revisiting this tech in 2019. Linuxmint 19 runs nicely on my old desktop and it built the driver for the device easily. Had some ...

WTF 2

Well, I went to the ER Quick and painless...except for removing the stickies from monitor pads. Bell's Palsy is the diagnosis. A facial nerve acting up. Some small steroid treatment, may or may not help. Take some pills for a few days.  It should not happen again.  I certainly hope not.
