• Peanut Butter Jelly Time - Yeah, I know you danced along… I realized today that there wasn’t a website anymore that you could send to someone for a surprise of this song. I found the old flash file off the wayback machine and so I found an emulator to run it online. Enjoy and then go look up DJ Chipman […]
  • The Identity Dilemma in Cryptocurrency: Privacy, Surveillance, and Global Alternatives - Cryptocurrency was born out of a desire for financial independence, decentralization, and privacy. Bitcoin’s creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, envisioned a system where peer-to-peer transactions could occur without the need for trusted intermediaries. But today, as crypto becomes more mainstream and integrated into financial systems, an increasing number of users find themselves facing the requirement to verify […]
  • Understanding the Difference Between Child Themes and Custom Themes in WordPress - One of the common points of confusion I still encounter is the difference between using a child theme and simply copying a WordPress theme to create a custom theme. While both approaches have their place, they serve different purposes and have distinct pros and cons. In this article, I will dive deep into the technical […]
  • Back to the old blogs - Wow, this is weird to run across old blogs from years ago. I was reading something that mentioned blogspot and when I went to check it out it popped up with my account since it’s all tied to my same google account. I’ve moved all those old posts over to this platform to save them […]
  • Change up - I’ve been running Ubuntu and have been pretty happy on my laptop; but I’ve been thinking about trying to find a system that has Nemo better integrated. Nemo is the file manager for the Cinnamon desktop. So I gave Linux Mint another try. I noticed a significant change in the boot time. I have disabled […]
  • Full circle back to using Ubuntu - I finally decided to do away with windows on my hard drive. I’m always a little paranoid when I reformat my hard drive, but I bit the bullet, backed everything up, and wiped it clean. I recreated an extended EPS partition [post later on GRML] Created a swap partition in case something needs it. Then […]
  • New laptop - So it’s actually been a couple weeks, but my new laptop came in. I’ve been saving and got an older model Lenovo Thinkpad. https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadt/thinkpad-t14-amd-g1/20uds17y00 I have never had a computer this good even when I spent more money on a MacBook back in college. It was nice, but this thing hauls ice uphill. So anywho, […]
  • Sidequest distractions - I’ve been thinking about finding a windows theme for linux for a while, but I definitely found something better than i was imagining. I guess i was scrolling through reddit and ran accross this post that looked beautiful to me. I was mostly caught by the neofetch, but then realized i can run a modern […]
  • Rynoplasty? - Oh lots to catch up on. This week’s project was migrating my server’s OS to another partition. I’m running Fedora 36 on an old Intel PC. That’s another story about my $100 media server. But anywho, I’d originally had the main drive split into multiple small Partitions for Linux Distro hopping, but have since done […]
  • Couch sitting - Okay. I’m lazy. But sometimes I don’t want to sit at the desk piddling with the computer. It’s not a very comfortable desk set up anyway. Really I want to sit on the couch with a movie going while I try whatever concocted idea I have. So I have been trying to get remote login […]
