It’s NOT Telecommuting!

OK, so it is telecommuting – but hear me out for just a second.. I have been involved in a job search as a Linux admin for a few months now and one of the barriers I keep running in to is (get this) physical location, or company location. WHY? Business owners, let me reason […]

“Fixing” an old laptop

A few years ago when I was in the market for a new laptop I picked up one of the then wildly popular and cheap Dell Inspiron 1545. There are gobs of these running around now and you can find them cheap if you look (click the pic for links to Amazon). I used this […]

A brilliant idea for your prayer life!

I am willing to bet there are more than a few of you who, like me, have difficulty in your prayer life. My issue is my mind seems to wander a mile a minute and I will start to pray for my family and end up thinking about string theory (physics) or stuff I need […]

E-cig Review: Derby City Flavor

At last! Another vape review! Derby City Flavor was kind enough to send me a few samples for review. In the interest of full disclosure, they sent the samples free of charge for review purposes. I vaped the samples using cartomisers, iClear30S and Protanks, on a variety of different regulated mods. I am not really […]

Peter Project?

Without going into a giant back story (that I would be happy to share if there were interest), years ago one of the ministries I was involved heavily in was a homeless ministry. It’s been a while but I have been burdened for this once more…. In the Bible, there is this great passage in […]

A long, long time ago…

That’s when I last put anything on here. A long time ago. I need to fix that. Other than just being crazy busy these past few months, my family has gone through a cancer scare which has had me driving back and forth to New York quite a bit. I just found it hard to […]

Le Sigh…

Last night a couple of my infrastructure VMs suffered some catastrophic problems due to an unexpected power issue. This brings a couple of notable postables to mind: Make sure you backup even your development work. The 2 VMs that got corrupted for me were development VMs that I was testing software and configs on, therefor […]

Plex Media Server – Issues

Dang.. Some days it’s hard to find what I need on the net. Now I could have SWORN that some time ago I had not only mentioned on my blog that I was a complete Plex Media Server fan, but that I have been running it forever and have only had 1 issue with it. […]

Boo

OK, so it’s October and once again there is an onslaught of spooky movies and ghost hunting shows all over the digital media outlets. Although I have LONG been a fan of such things, I have a few questions to pose to the ghost hunters out there. Leave it to me to go interjecting logic […]

Knock Knock…

Is anyone in there? Well, admittedly I thought it was time to get in here and blow the virtual dust off. It has been a while and once again, RL has gotten in the way of VL. I have been carrying a bit more burden at work with some issues and projects of late and […]
