Today I was messing around with a MacBook Neo from work, playing around with moving user profiles around with an eye to trying to use the device as a daily driver. One of the things that I need to do for that to work is to get the users home folder saved into a separate … Read more

I have a pile of camera bags. All of them have been bought for different equipment at different times, but most wind up being bought from a company called Powepro. They make generally decent stuff and I’ve gotten pretty good use out of many of the bags I’ve picked up, but when I got my … Read more

One of the things that I wasn’t a huge fan of with Unraid was the reliance on a USB key for both booting the device and handling the licensing for the product on the server that it was running on. While USB keys aren’t horrible on their own they aren’t super reliable and I do … Read more

I suppose that it was bound to happen at some point but Sony just posted this; https://blog.playstation.com/2026/07/01/physical-disc-production-ending-in-january-2028-for-new-games-releasing-on-playstation-consoles And honestly I didn’t figure that it would have been Sony deciding to kill off physical media first.

One of the things that I do enjoy is going out and getting some camping on. Locally it’s sometimes hard to find a spot at the local sites but when we can it’s nice to get out and disconnect from things for a couple of days and just enjoy the lack of connectivity. Honestly most … Read more

Well, as I mentioned earlier I injured myself training, and while it’s healing it’s not as quick as I would like. In fact last week my ankle swelled up like a balloon as all the fluid drained out of my calf and into my foot. Wearing some compression socks for a few days has pushed … Read more

I’ve taken several shots at blogging here over the course of the last several years. Most have petered out pretty quickly, and have have little information of any value in the long term. This time around I’m trying much harder to make sure that I keep things posting a couple of times a week but … Read more

Now that I’ve had the new camera for a couple of months I can actually have enough time to have a real opinion on the thing. Coming from a D70 bought back in 2004 the Z Series cameras are different enough that it’s a big leap forward, but similar enough that I’m not having to … Read more
