Truly I want to start writing again, or at least more often than…. *looks* Ouch. That’s a long time since my last update. Oh well, this is a good time to start. It has been a very eventful four months since my last post, at the very least it can be described as . . . → Read More: Catching Up

Just a test of the WordPress app for Android. Last night for D&D, I made a variant of Red Beans and Rice we call “‘Drunken’ Red Beans and Rice.” It combines a classic recipe with an interesting twist: hydrating the beans with red wine instead of water. The red wine flavor comes out nicely in the beans after cooking. Continue reading Drunken Red Beans and Rice So, a few of you did (much to my dismay) notice that the server kind of vanished over the weekend. Not having arranged for a backup solution after moving Stasis (my server which this domain, among others, is hosted on) fated me to a bizarre and catastrophic hard drive failure. I got lucky, though, for only the OS was blown away. 98% of the data (emails, websites and database tables) remained shockingly intact, but the entire server configuration folder was reduced to a 1135 byte file and two out of my three custom spam handling scripts got destroyed as well. *sigh* So, most of the weekend was spent rebuilding the server from scratch with a new hard drive. The good news is, by Sunday morning everything was functioning again and all of the email backed up on Andy’s server started flowing into mine (faster than I expected even, the second DNS came online, everything exploded with activity!) Sincere apologies for anybody affected by the outage. I hope to have a backup solution tested and in place by this weekend. I just have to dig out my spare network card… Continue reading The word of the day is: Wharrgarbl I think I found tonight’s dinner. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/SHRIMP-AND-CHICKEN-ETOUFFEE-50067455 Tablet devices are a thing for me. I’m going to muse for a bit on the topic, because it comes up a lot in my mind, discussions and house, and I was talking to Sue earlier about it today. In particular, I spend a lot of time thinking about the operating system options out there. Continue reading Tablet Operating Systems When I break things, clearly I go straight for the pricey shit. We finally got to order the part we needed last night for the princely sum of $140ish shipped. Ouch. At least the machine will be fixed by Friday evening, provided the part ships today.

I have been making Broccoli slaw with a cranberry mustard dressing, but I have been trying it our with Cabbage. The challenge tonight: To use up a large head of cabbage, 3 ears of sweet corn, and blue cheese hanging out in the fridge, and make . . . → Read More: Cole slaw So, I have a computer game I’m going to work on as a personal project over time. Initially it was going to be an Android game, but I need to step back and work in a more familiar environment first, so it will start out its life as a PC game. If you’re interested, and want to give feedback, follow through the link below to the rest of the post and sound off. I’m going to muse on the implementation and other topics. Eventually, I may spin off the discussion and progress reports into their own blog, particularly if enough interest is generated in the game, since it goes slightly beyond the intended scope of our main blog.
