Daughter Home for Summer

My daughter is home for the summer, or at least a couple of months

She will be leaving for Germany at the end of August. Back to the University of  Tuebingen. This time for the whole year, not just a term.

She is inline for taking the Motorcycle Riders Course to get her Motorcycle endorsement. I can only imagine that means I will have to get the wife’s Harley running, so that she will have something to ride. Sadly it still needs  the Electric start fixed. It needs a new starter. All other components have been replaced for the Electric start. I guess we’ll see how this sorts itself out.

I think I have sorted out the problem with mine. It wasn’t running the way I like. I haven’t had a chance to take it out since doing some tinkering. Should be better.

My Kid is Driving Me Crazy

Well...I just took a look at my kids grades on line. Not looking good. I thought he was happy with band. But that is a D... and I don't know if it can be pulled out.

This is  LUbuntu 12.04 on a P4 with a Gig of Ram. If I shutdown I have an alias i use to restart the wifi driver. I should just add it to startup. But I don't shut it down that often. 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.
