    Today I went and updated my Chromebook’s kernel version to 6.7.10 because I wanted to see if anything would break. Pretty sure nothing did and I’m glad I was able to get it updated. I really don’t know why I want to look over and test different kernels but to be honest I think it’s…

    Today I managed to get my Chromebook setup to use QMK. This has been a great ordeal. Okay, not really but I did have to read a few things in order to actually get it all running. The good part is that it is running so I don’t have to do much now. Some people…

    On the last post I made mention that I bought a Chromebook. I was able to test the application and as it turned out I was not able to get it installed following the directions we had sent. Again, this is where the hardware specifications matter a little bit. I don’t know what they were…

    The other day I went and got a Chromebook. Why? Because I was super bored. Okay, not really but I did get it because I wanted to test something out for work. I wanted to see what it would take to get an app to run on the system and possibly document it for others.…

    The other day I got a package in the mail. It was a box containing some keyboard PCBs that I had been waiting on for a few months. Okay, it was one that I was really waiting on but I got a total of 3. The one I really was looking forward to was the…

    The other day I finished another module for a networking course I started. Yeah, I started another course. I like to learn things. This was actually a course I started last year. I never got around to really finishing it but these last two weeks I decided I need to complete the course. The course…

    With making the switch over to Digital Ocean I took out my contact me page link. Why? Because I don’t want to use it to be honest. I haven’t really used it other than getting WordPress related updates from other teams. That was the email I used for many of those things. It was also…

    As I mentioned in my last post, I finally moved this site over to Digital Ocean hosting because Dreamhost was just getting too expensive for my liking. It was more than I would care to spend for a super simple blog site. I also don’t want to be spending any more than I probably should…

    Finally! Today I went and update my site to use Digital Ocean and I have to say it took me a bit to fully up and running again. Part of that reason being that I had to install an SSL certificate which I had never done. I did encounter an error a few times and…

    So today I start the process of moving my site over to Digital Ocean. One hour in and I broke the admin and site because I deleted a record for the database. The way it worked was by allowing traffic, or access, from an allow list. This was not the first time this has happened…
