I have been using Open Live Writer, since it was Windows Live Writer. I like it, and it feels pretty easy to write what I want. I am about to setup my 9 year old to do some writing on a blog (not this one). Here is a short tutorial for using Word. From the… Continue reading Blogging With Word

Jetpack has some stuff
I don’t do a lot with my blog. My posts come at a rate of about 10 per year it seems. I think I have had this blog going for a little more than 18 years. I have about 183 posts (before this one), but they haven’t come at a consistent interval. It should be… Continue reading Jetpack has some stuff
TWRAM
I currently own 3 domains, one of which you are visiting now. Another domain I own is much less useful, and really was the result of a joke. I have until now hosted it on a Windows Server, and wanted to move it to Azure. It isn’t a very complicated as it is just a… Continue reading TWRAM
Revisiting my Blog
I have spent a decent amount of time over the years, trying to convince myself to spend some time on my blog. I have updated the OS of the VM that runs it. I have migrated from whatever platform I started on (I think I had two different ones going at one point.) I have… Continue reading Revisiting my Blog
Strange Reboots
This isn’t going to be a terribly helpful post, but I do think it is interesting. I have a server that is exhibiting some strange behavior. When I copy a file to the server it reboots. At first, I thought this was a specific file, but later determined that it didn’t matter what the file… Continue reading Strange Reboots
Back Up!
So after several months of not being accessible, my blog is once again available. I know that there are thousands of people (or maybe just me) that missed my blog while it was down. So I would like to have some grand reason for being down so long, but the simple fact is, we made… Continue reading Back Up!
Not quite yet…
So the other day I said that I was moving this blog to Azure. I have tinkered with that, and am actually making a little progress. (This happens when you put little effort/time into something). I decided to bring it back up where it was in order to do an easier transfer of the image… Continue reading Not quite yet…
2015 Blog Report
Well, I didn’t hit the number I was hoping to hit. I made it to 162, and I was hoping to make it to 175. Maybe by the end of 2016? Since this is a WordPress site and I use Jetpack here is a nice little report provided with no effort on my part: http://jetpack.me/annual-report/6842850/2015/
Shrinking volumes
Sometimes, I find it useful to shrink volumes. This happens about once every 2 or 3 years. Since I do it so infrequently, I have to look it up every time. In my experience, while you can do it from the GUI, it isn’t always successful. Also, I have not ever seen it work to… Continue reading Shrinking volumes
Don’t instal build 10547
I have been very happy with the Windows 10 builds. Most of them have at least been “no visible change” for me. Build 10547 however, was not like that. I had heard of some issues with that build from one of my co-workers, but nothing specific enough to not make think it was other than… Continue reading Don’t instal build 10547
