For the first time in two years we got a chance to take the train into Dallas and catch a Stars game!!! But we lost in pretty spectacular fashion 4 to 1. Oh well, they keep this up and seats will be a lot cheaper than $50 apiece:)
Fedora 33 > 34 Update Complete
The computer updates have started. The new goal is going to move the current physical instance of my Linux server into a VirtualBox VM that will host everything until I can bring up RHEL on the new server hard drives and have it pick up things like web hosting and email. Once that’s complete I’ll… Continue reading Fedora 33 > 34 Update Complete
Computer upgrades ahead
Just post to let you know that I’ll be upgrading the hard drives and migrating the OS to RHEL over the last quarter of this year. Should you hit a bookmark and nothings there, just wait, it’ll be back up better than ever shortly…
Football is back!!!
Well preseason anyways. The Cowboys are playing this afternoon and there isn’t much to cheer about. The curse is real and they won’t go anywhere again this year. So that it’s in writing, I believe that because we’re looking at a 17 game season they won’t be 8 and 8! But I believe this doesn’t… Continue reading Football is back!!!
1 Terabyte For Entertainment
So with the new phone comes a chance to start new. I hate that when switching phones they want you to bring everything over from your old phone. No!!! It’s time to start fresh, if it’s your favorite app, just get it again, or better yet, is there one that does it bigger, better, faster,… Continue reading 1 Terabyte For Entertainment
New Phone
So for a while now I’ve been looking at getting a new phone. I don’t have a phone plan, or provider or contract so what am I supposed to do? I use Google Fi and I brought my unlocked from Metro to Fi when Fi was a much better deal. But it’s mostly cheaper than… Continue reading New Phone
Lost another high school classmate
I don’t think it’s been a year yet since an old high school classmate committed suicide and we’ve lost another member of the class of 90. Mike Wassink passed. I didn’t know him, I knew I went to school with him but that’s about it. Great guy from what I understand, we just never ran… Continue reading Lost another high school classmate
More hard drives
So as alluded to in a previous post, I had a drive crash and it left me feeling a bit shaky about the other three drives that are in the array, one more goes and the system is gone. Not thrilled with the thought of that so I blew $320 and got 4 SATA Seagate… Continue reading More hard drives
Now it’s summer
If you live in Texas you’ll know that the summer is hot, you’ll also know this year we’ve dodged a bullet because it was only yesterday we got our first 100 degree day. We’ve been blessed but nothing last forever and we’re sitting at 102 with a ‘feels like’ of 108. I took about 10… Continue reading Now it’s summer
Crashing drives
Nothing to do with cars but I’ve got a failure on one of the drives that this site is on. It’s got 4 x 3TB SAS Western Digital drives hooked up to a Dell H310 PERC PCI controller in a Dell T30 server. So the T30 doesn’t come with a H310, not sure you can… Continue reading Crashing drives
