November 22, 2016: Synchronicity

We’ve had both of the twins home together for barely 24 hours at this point, but if there’s one thing that I’ve learned already, it’s that we’re going to have to find a way to sync these swings so that they move together or it’s going to drive my OCD absolutely bonkers! 😛 It doesn’t help…

Now I should probably preface this entire post by stating that I can’t necessarily vouch for the legality of doing this, so if that’s the type of thing that you like to be concerned about in this digital wild wild west that we know as The Internet, then take notice… 😉 Tonight I discovered this awesome tool that…

May 10, 2016: Oracle … Grrrrr!

Feb 24, 2016: 26 Terabytes

It’s been a little over a year since I started my little media server project and rebooted the idea of having a home server to store media, docs, and local backups on.  To think, what began on an old, discarded laptop and then migrated to my desktop hardware when I replaced it with my MacBook…
