I should have this back in operation soon enough but this compute instance completely hung in a way that rendered it inoperable from the VM console, etc., and so some backend changes as to the nature and location of the VM's will be happening. Not changing back to wordpress or anything silly, this is more a few quirks in how the VDI is managed that frankly are done better in other places even outside of AWS or Azure. Good thing I run those backups, eh? I should be rocking and rolling in time…

Those of my friends who've hung out with me when touring aviation-related sites like the Yorktown know my taste in airplanes is odd.

That means "amp or computer inputs". Well, the crappy amp I have is good enough to flatten the sound on it and use it as a straight speaker-out for…
Hi. More of a personal update. I've still got a few project sets I'm working, some work related, a couple personal. Can't talk much but that's part of the reason it's been quiet around these parts. That said, a good chunk of the blame the last couple days can be ascribed to my newly re-acquired music hobby. Talk about a neverending rabbit-hole. Filed under things I've learned: First, despite being the kind of guy who could wire up a complex home stereo just by looking at the back…
I was wrong on one point, and while I still enjoy it, I can see a little bit why a really experienced musician would be driven up the wall. First - I was wrong about tabs being included. I'd seen two separate sources mention them but cannot find them after some serious digging around. That said....
