I gave up McDonalds for myself and for my children. If you have kids then you know how easy it is to stop in for fries and a quick meal. Since early December 2014, my kids and I have been to a McDonalds once. And that visit was for a Sundae while waiting for mom […]
Google is about to change it’s search results and make things better for the mobile friendly sites. My site was not even close to being mobile friendly. This one is. Done. 🙂
Riding the train and another app worthy idea popped in my head. Along with 20150309, I’ve now got two more functional ideas to get moving on! This one is bit more utility but it’s something that I think would be useful; at least it would be for me. I’m almost tempted to put it out […]
My daughter saw some 3D printouts at a little shop by us. She mentioned they have have a 3D printer at school and she really liked it. Of course that ended with “Dad, can I have a 3D printer”. To which I replied “Hannah, it’s really complicated and expensive”. Later on I started to look […]

At work we have MS SharePoint 2013 and I’m looking to orchestrate some processes with it. As with most use cases, it starts with a custom list of information and you wrap forms, workflow and other crap around it. I have one simple requirement that has lead me down a road of total crap! My […]
In a previous article I talked about how I safely opened an ssh port into my home network and server. This is one of those thing you better get right, if you don’t then you’ve opened yourself up to all sorts of breaches and hacks. The fact is that most homes don’t have strong networks […]
Maybe it’s just me getting older but I’m more and more cynical about things. New Years really gets on my nerves because it’s the great time of hope and optimism for about 1-2 weeks and then back to old rut and grind. Well not this year! Since New Years Day is on a Thursday I’m […]
