Well that was fast

By Chris | February 23, 2016 |

I have a really nice older D-link WiFi router that has served well for years. When we moved last December, I got a speed bump in our internet service from 20MB/s to 125MB/s, quite a jump. I even bought a brand new cable modem that had more channels to bond (which just means lots more…

Old Dogs. New Tricks.

By Chris | January 11, 2016 |

I have been a Windows user for over twenty years. I have used Linux on the desktop for around ten years. My primary work machines have run Linux for around four years. I never really used Macs. I have tried in the past, but it just never really worked out. OS X looks good on…

Re-tired

By Chris | August 12, 2014 |

I am tired tonight. I was tired yesterday, hence re-tired. I’m not sick. Just tired. And not tired of anything or anyone. Just weary. Worn down. Non-energetic. I wanted to write something interesting for my blog. Something pithy and insightful. But it just isn’t happening. So I think I’ll call it a day, and head to…

That was quick

By Chris | June 8, 2013 |

I try to avoid being a technology geek, but I can’t. I have a solid state hard drive (super mega fast for the non-techno-geeks) in my home desktop machine. Windows 7 boots in about 15 seconds flat. It was amazing the first time I saw it and it’s still amazing. My work laptop is just…

Bye Bye Beardy!

By Chris | June 4, 2013 |

I shaved the bead tonight. I also did some “Flock of Seagulls” hair to celebrate afterward. I hope everyone is doing well. I know I am after removing about a pound of hair.

One week later…

By Chris | May 22, 2013 |

I really had no idea bruises could be so many colors. I have black but no blue, oddly enough. I make up for it in shades of purple, though. I have counted at least five of those. There’s red, of course, and the road rash areas that are healing up nicely. The big surprise is…

Twelve

By Chris | May 20, 2013 |

My dearest Sheri, Twelve years ago today in Las Vegas, NV in front of around fifty people who represented our respective friends and family, I pledged my life to you, and you pledged yours to me. It’s one of those strange and unique things in life where it feels brand new every day and at…

Update

By Chris | May 18, 2013 |

Watching the completely underrated Isn’t She Great. Enjoyed two cans of Oskar Blues GUBNA (10% ABV and 100+ IBUs and feeling the effects). My knee hurts, but only mildly. I think the GUBNA had something to do with that, but I’m not complaining. I’m happy to be alive, all things considered. I’m also a very…
