I read Charles Bukowski On Drinking this month. I did a fair amount of drinking while I read his poetry about drinking and excerpts from novels on letters where he talks about his drinking; the reasons he drinks, the results of his drinking, and his thoughts on what drinking means to him. He was a… Read more Bukowski on Drinking

My Website changed
I logged in to write a post, but my interface changed, so I must have upgraded something, so maybe clicked the wrong thing. Not sure, so just going to write and click things and see what happens. It’s interesting the new look. Putting up a picture was easy. So I think things have changed. I’ll… Read more My Website changed
CCNA commands 1
I’m studying for the CCNA (Cisco Certified Network Associate) 200-301 certification exam. It’s two really thick books, over a thousand pages and a third smaller book of commands, plus lots of videos and practice modules. It’s an incredibly large amount of information to learn and a lot of commands to memorize and understand. So, here… Read more CCNA commands 1
Pi-hole
I just installed Pi-hole on a Raspberry Pi and it works great. Really easy to set up as well. Bought all the little parts and put it together, installed the Raspberry Pi fork of Debian and installed the Pi-hole docker container and it just works. I had things like Privacy Badger running, but it’s kind… Read more Pi-hole
Midsommar (2019)
Finally got around to watching Midsommar. It was a really good movie once it got going and you could enjoy the scenery and weird little cultural tics. Honestly, they should have ran off together as a group and called the police when they killed the old man, but the Americans were so self-absorbed that they… Read more Midsommar (2019)
A New Job Opportunity, Maybe
I have no idea if this job is legit or not. It’s kind of sketchy on one hand, but for a real employer on the other and it pays 45 dollars an hour with five to ten extra of overtime every week. On the high end, that works out to over 100 grand a year.… Read more A New Job Opportunity, Maybe

Raspberry Pi and new shoes.
I put together a Raspberry Pi today. A little new years present for me. I’m going to use it as a device to block unwanted traffic from my home network. I had a good picture of it, but can’t seem to upload it to my google drive. Having technical issues and it’s too late in… Read more Raspberry Pi and new shoes.
Still feeling run down, but better, and apparently it’s WWIII, fun
Today has been a roller coaster ride of getting the energy to do anything and then not doing anything and reading the news as we get closer to war with Iran. I printed off a few chapters of my book to work on at work tomorrow. I did a little studying and started a little… Read more Still feeling run down, but better, and apparently it’s WWIII, fun
Feeling like a spider has crawled down my throat and made a nest inside my lungs
Yeah, the post title about sums it up. I can barely breath and rest is impossible because of the coughing and scratchy throat. But still got some things done. a bit of video learning, some reading, a blog post, which is nice. I listened to a lot of metal music today trying to rock hard… Read more Feeling like a spider has crawled down my throat and made a nest inside my lungs
