it's a convoluted mess
Effortlessly… February. A month rife with baggage. January was a smear. We all know how the news has been and we’re not going to talk about that horror show. I don’t need to get put on a watch list for the things I have to say about it all. My brain is not so much mush anymore, it’s more like pulverized pulp leaking out my ear. It is useless. Anyway. Windows 11 forced a version… Keep reading…It shouldn’t be so hard just to be…
Happy Halloween? It certainly wasn’t The Halloween Blizzard of 1991 (TM), but Minnesota was still very Minnesota-y for the occasion. Pouring rain that turned into snow that turned into slush. Slush everywhere. State Patrol reported 169 accidents between midnight and 2PM. Because people forget that they have lived in Minnesota their entire lives and cannot remember how to fucking drive the first time it snows for the season. The camera was far more interested in… Keep reading…One stop short…
September. If only that meant summer was over. It is not. Let’s see how many times my website goes down while I try to post something.

Can I write this post, save it, and publish it? Or… Keep reading…Blacking out again…
O.M.F.G. I am developing some……opinions……on my new web hosting provider and they mostly involve expletives and rude gestures. Do I need to go shopping for a replacement already? Anyway. Tirade cut short: Extensive downtime of the server for “unplanned maintenance” resulted in all of my posts and pages getting deleted—fifteen years worth of posts and pages—and tech support has thus far not given me any answers and so I did a restore from a backup… Keep reading…Don’t know when…
I started writing a different post and it quickly devolved into an extensive tirade about software and while extensive tirades are kind of the norm around here, I was annoying even myself, so…delete. In short: I Do. Not. Like. Windows 11 and I Really. Do. Not. Like. how every MF software is moving to the subscription-based model. Just let me buy a program once so I can run it into the ground until I am… Keep reading…Keep it undercover…
