First off, some site news about DansGeekStop. The migration appears to be complete from everything I can see, and everything went smoothly. That honestly shocks the hell out of me considering I handled the entire migration myself. I’d also like everyone to say hello to my new host, InMotion Hosting. And with a bit of […]
Sigh, if you are anyone with any type of technical knowledge, no matter what age, I am sure you can relate to this post. I’m 66 years old and worked with computers my entire working life. From a small furniture company where I started, to a Fortune 500 company where I finally retired. Even now
I was planning on addressing the topic of Data Centers this week when the reality of them suddenly affected me personally. Due to the explosive demand for new Data Centers, the cost of utilizing them has increased substantially. That increase ultimately led the web hosting company I have used for years to make the unfortunate
Finally, a real blog post after being away due to health reasons. I have previously talked about how the Appalachian Mountains helped power the nation through coal, oil, and natural gas. This was covered in earlier blog posts about Pennsylvania and its role in helping fuel American industry and energy production. Recently, however, the Appalachian
At the end of March, I made the mistake of stepping out in front of a car and got hit. Needless to say, it hurt like a bear. Fortunately, I was not hurt badly, but it did torque my left knee, which I am slowly healing from. That is one of the main reasons I
Last week, my post was about How Many of Us Curse at Our Tech… and Why Do We Do It? After I posted that article, I stepped back and gave the subject a little more thought. I wanted to look at the bigger picture, not just the individual trees in the forest. And that got
Oh, come on. This image is just the tip of the iceberg of the many reasons we all, at one time or another, have cussed out our electronic devices. And I call bull shit on anyone who says they’ve never done it. You already know the reasons any specific device can light that fuse. You
So, I was bored the other day and decided to bust Gadget’s balls (ChatGPT client) about it being self-aware. Of course, the denials flowed and the expert opinion (total bullshit) of why it wasn’t self-aware just came in a flood from Gadget. Yea, yea, yada, yada, Gadget. Your line of shit just isn’t cutting it
This is a topic very close to my heart. My adopted mother, who raised me, cared for me, and loved me, suffered from this awful disease. I still do not know whether it was Alzheimer’s or dementia. In the end, I am not sure it mattered. They both take so much. They both hurt. They
Look, I have a ton of irons in the fire. Some things are stressing me out. I’m just brain-fried right now, and I want to chill and talk shit. No, this will not be me whining or complaining. Every post I’ve done up to this one, I always had a topic in my mind. But
