Acer Aspire 5 A515-43-R19L Journey
Two posts ago I mentioned that our goddaughter donated three older laptops for me to find good homes for. In that post, I had already found a good home for the better two of them (the very next day). The third laptop was the one in the title of this post, an Acer […]

One Bad Cable Spoils the Bunch
Spoiler Alert!: well, the headline is the spoiler, so the alert is too late! But, there is a lengthy sub-plot here which has nothing to do with that cable, so aside from documenting the cable saga (which you know the ending of), there was more sleuthing necessary. I’ve been a Verizon FiOS customer […]

Powerless Blessing
We live in a development where all the houses have electricity delivered via underground lines. The entire neighborhood is fed by a single pole. If that pole goes out, every house is hit. Some of our neighbors have whole home generators, we do not. This past Saturday, at 4:58am, our power went out. […]

Proxmox vs virt-manager
I mentioned in my first post this year that I would cover many (if not most) of the technology projects that I’m working on in 2023. I’m well into it, and I haven’t posted about any of them (yet). One of the reasons is that I’m so deeply absorbed (in the best sense) […]

Twitter Addiction Broken
I’ve been addicted to Twitter for nearly 16 years. I’ve been very happy about that addiction and have no regrets. It never interfered with my work (when I was working) and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it in retirement. I rarely (as in almost never) post/tweet (at least not in the last 10+ years, I […]

Uh oh, he’s back…
As the kids say: “It’s been a minute…”. My first post was on Christmas Day, 2006. It was short and “hesitant”. My second post was almost a month later, even shorter, and contained a typo (which I never fixed). That same day, I made my first real post. It’s really long, meandering, and […]

Asus Wifi Router AiMesh Odyssey
This post was rattling around in my head before the current stay-at-home situation arose. Somehow, it never found its way to my fingers, until now. This will be a typical techie post by me, in that it will be long, rambling/meandering, and likely bore the people who used to mostly read my music […]

Email Spam Coordination Across Different Services?
Surprise! It’s been 1,743 days since my last post. This isn’t a music post, so even if you are momentarily pleased to see a new one pop up in your feed, you’ll likely be disappointed by this “techie” one… Disclaimer: this is 100% speculation on my part, I have done zero research to […]

A Wicked Birthday
Today is Lois’ birthday (Happy Birthday Lois!). We had expected to be in VA all of May. Unfortunately, a few details got in the way and we returned to NY this week and will remain here for the rest of the month. If we were down in Richmond, we’d likely have gotten together […]

Goodbye New York
I’m rusty at the blogging thing. My two most recent posts were 10 months apart and this one clocks in at nearly 9 months after those (see a pattern emerging?). That might explain why my first attempt at writing this one left me uninspired and had Lois groaning. To describe it as dry […]
