This blog is a pile of old websites that I finally put in one place. It started as a small job: fix the post headers on a sloppy WordPress-to-Jekyll conversion I'd left sitting on GitHub Pages. The headers were full of WordPress leftovers, the titles had HTML junk in them, and there were a couple… Read more →
2 years ago, the ruthless killing of the (then) best free cloud filesync app Copy was announced. During the scramble to find a replacement for my beloved Copy, with whom I interacted on a seemingly unhealthy basis, I tried dozens of similar services. Spreadsheets were made. Long forgotten Posts may prevail on here somewhere. Box… Read more →
Google used to let you subscribe to a single "newsubscriptionvideos" feed that would populate with new videos from the channels to which a specified user was subscribed. Then YouTube API v3 came out and removed the combined feed feature. Nowadays, each Channel provides its own feed, and while this workaround is not completely automatic, it's… Read more →

The Budgie desktop… Read more →
TL;DR: more gibberish about installing & running Linux, during 2016. The PC I built in 2011 currently runs Windows 10 Pro x64 and is the media/print server, video conversion, torrenting, and gaming rig. With constant new or recurring Windows annoyances re-triggering the question of just switching to Linux (but still requiring a Windows install to… Read more →
TL;DR: some background on my experiences with Linux, through 2015. In 1999 or so I bought a boxed The Complete Linux Operating System 6.0 from the Tacoma CompUSA (or was it still Computer City then?). Or maybe I got it at Future Shop in South Hill? Or Borders in Tacoma? Or Borders in South Hill… Read more →
