Computer Brands Just Suck
After a recent purchase of the system pictured below, I decided that I didn’t want to have all the bloatware sitting on the system doing who knows what. I figured it would be a quick process to get it booted into a mode to allow a USB installation of vanilla…

Technology Can Suck It
My career has been built on the technology that is controlling and running everything. It’s ironic that the technology that has created a career is the same technology that I now don’t trust and hate using outside of work hours. I already don’t carry my cell phone most weekends and,…

Cursing the WP Block Editor
I have spent an inordinate amount of time working with this new block editor customizing my site theme. At least, I was attempting to customize my site’s theme, but the block editor for pages had other ideas. I don’t quite understand why it was necessary to incorporate the block editor…

Migration complete
Migration was successful and all is where it should be. So, there’s this cool feature where you can migrate all your followers from an old blog to a new blog. I just did that, so you don’t need to re-follow if you were already following. Not that it mattered, but…

Off my game and cranky
I’ve soooooooo been off my game lately. Not that I’m complaining per say, but it’s starting to get a little ridiculous at this point. For the last several weeks I’ve consistently been thinking about technology and how it’s literally invaded the lives of everyone around me. I realized just how…
