Moving user profiles, why do it?

Ok, this is a bit niche, but one of the things that I’ve commonly done over the years is move user profiles from the boot drive and get them placed into either a second drive or partition. There are reasons for this, and most of them run around the use of the products that my … Read more

Last moment preperation.

SO, I’m a few days out from the IBJJF Worlds down in Las Vegas and at this point it’s just some final prep and getting things packed and ready to go before I go down. And as I’m closing things up at work to head down I’ve been asked so many times if I’m nervous … Read more

3d printing and models, and reviving rusty skills.

Many years back I was given a 3d printer for Christmas, and that’s kicked off a bunch of stuff where I’ve been printing things off, and eventually started trying to design some of my own things to solve specific problems that I’ve had.

Thoughts on competing.

I’m headed down to compete in the IBJJF worlds this coming September. It’s going to be the first time that I compete outside of some in house competitions that we run at the school that I train at. So I’m jumping straight into the deep end with the sharks. That’s not to say that I … Read more

Ok, I watched it…

So when they announced the Masters of The Universe movie I really didn’t pay a lot of attention to it. I was a kid when those toys were being released and they were a fixture while I was growing up, however after the movie that came out in 1987 I really just lost interest. The … Read more

Rolley Lake

Back in the day my parents would take us camping to a couple of places, one being Golden Ears, the other being a smaller campground called Rolly Lake.
