Jon Fortt’s Technofile has some very good stuff on it, I stopped reading slashdot back at the beginning of the year, but been looking for a good site to get some tech news from for a while, and I think I found it. Jon Fortt’s site is interesting, it focuses mainly on Apple related stuff[…]
Last year I picked up one of those disposable cameras. It was a waterproof one. I picked it up to take some pictures while kayaking. The problem was I only used 17 of the 27 pictures while out on the water. So I had left the camera in my bike back all the time since[…]
It is nice that the weather is starting to get warmer now. I have had about a week of great weather here in Pittsburgh. I been getting out on the bike more, for the last 4 days, I have gotten at lest 3 hours of biking in a day. When I was younger I did[…]
The last 2 days I did a total of 6 hours of bike riding. 3 hours each day. Yesterday 2 of the hours on the bike were trying for the first time some mountain biking. 2 lessons learned about mountain biking yesterday. Your breaks are very important while mountain biking and my bike is not[…]
My aquarium is starting to get over grown with the plants that I have put in there. I am very pleased with how it is going. I wanted plenty of places for the fish to hid, and the free O2 that the plants would make for the tank. Some of the plants that I put[…]
Last night while I was feeding my fish in my 20 Gal tank I decided to see what would happen if I just held the food in the tank. Well most of the fish were (naturally) still afraid of me so they did not come for the food, but 3 of my fish swam right[…]
I got a couple of more rides in today. For about a total of 3 hours of biking in. It feels great to get a few rides in. I am going to see if I can get some rides in this weekend. I have a friend that is into meteorology and he said that this[…]
Well it seams that the new season of biking is on us again. I went on a nice short trip today, about an hour long. I did a run down the jail trail. The only problem was that the city found it necessary to turn off the drinking founts on both side the trail. I[…]
I found this post on Backup DNA on another blog. Would it not be cool if humans did have this same backup DNA built in. If humans did, maybe we could find a way to cause the backup to be brought forth. This probably would have to be done very early in a womans pregnancy.[…]
I am going to say something controversial here. I love debugging; I find it fun and very interesting. It is like a puzzle to solve. When you think you have found the problem, you find that you are only chipping at the tip of the iceberg. And to do debugging on a multi-thread program makes[…]
I love the show South Park; it does things so absorber it is funny. Right now I am watching some DVD that I am borrowing from my dad. I am on season two.
Well we had the Easter Vigil at First Trinity tonight, it was beautiful as usual. I have taken some pictures. I hope every one has a happy Easter.
One of the internet radio stations I like has started to do pod casting. The station is KFUO, and the radio show I really like is Issues Etc. It will be nice since I can not listen to it in full live, I can now at lest have it downloaded automatically to my computer and[…]
I just tried to compile the kernel of BSD, and I got linker errors, I have never gotten an error on the linker while compiling a kernel, what is up with the BSD kernel?? I would love to spend the time figuring this beast out, but I don’t really have the time for that, I[…]
I am trying to get the BSD system going, and it not working as well as I has hoped. It does not see my network card, and if I can not get it to see the network card I will have to bail on the BSD idea. I would like to use BSD for it,[…]
I got my General license in October, and a FT-710 back in December. I have been struggling on getting the setting right on the radio to so I could get a contact on HF. I have it hooked up to a LDG Z-100A tuner, and the Antanna is a Diamond HFV-5 pentaband antanna. But the[…]
As noted before when I first got my 3D printer I thought it would be used for some fun things but not as much use as I am using it for, it seems about 3 to 4 times a week I find another thing I can print with it to make things nicer in my[…]
Recently amazon decided to force an update on the Echo Auto, to the stupid Alexa+ I did not want it, months ago when they first tried it you could exit it. But last month they decided that they were going to force it and not let you exit or disable it. I refuse to use[…]
WEll today I found how bad the internet has made things. First I was tring to buy something at microcenter, tried to use samsung wallet. Well again it wanted me to open unlock the phone so it chould show me some random ad. I did that quickly and quickly closed the phone and tried again,[…]
Years ago I use to have a radio shack police scanner, but since most places have gone to digital/trunced system, it no longer worked. So today while I was at Ham Radio Outlet, I deceded to get one that they had as a open box deal. It is a Uniden BCD436HP. It is a nice[…]
(Originally posted this over on my ham radio only site https://kb3hcg.radio) Well I found a good reason to have both 2m and 70cm calling freqs progreammed into ones mobile radio when traveling. I always knew the value of 2m National calling Freq, I found out that having the 70cm National calling freq also is also[…]
At around 8:30pm a fire broke out in the apartment below the one I live in. Good news is the damage appently is only in that apartment, the rest of the apartments have been deamed livable, so at 10:30pm we were able to return to our homes. My poor cat was scared by all the[…]
I been getting so many scam calls lately it was once a week, then 2 times a week then once a day, today I got 5. I am so tired of it I just want to block all phone calls. I have found that if I put my phone in do not disturb, I can[…]
For a bit over 10 years I have wanted to get a 3D printer. Last Sunday I was down at Microcenter and the bambu A1 combo was on sale. So I picked it up with some Filament. I thought it would be fun to maybe try to make some stuff. But what I did not[…]
I saw an video recently on youtube where someone was complaining that hobbies have been ruined in recent years, he made his argument. I personally reject his argument. His argument is that influincers on either on Youtube or tiktoc have made it where people feel they have to spend a lot of money to get[…]
