Well I got the first shot. Quite impressed with the setup they had. A lot of personnel but very well organized. I felt they could have had less people and still perform the same task but however they felt was necessary the process was smooth. Mind you I scheduled at the beginning of the day. […]

Finally got a notice from the government that I can book my appointment for the first jab. Took a while. I was expecting it earlier since my brother had been notified almost 3 weeks ago and he’s not that much older than me. However, I am glad the web site worked. For a second there

It was interesting developing my own Blog software but I have come to realize, my time is better spent elsewhere. Hopefully this time my WP install will not get corrupted or hacked. That was the main reason for abandoning it last time. It was hacked I think, or at least my web host said it

What a pain. Windows update was in some sort of never-ending loop it seemed and eventually the system refused to boot. I’m so glad I have an official USB drive with an official Windows 10 on it because if I didn’t I wouldn’t know what the hell to do to get the machine reinstalled. The

I thought, “Why spend money when free should do.” So I tried my hand at setting up LibreOffice Write template for defining a character/location sheet, notes, and manuscript documents. One template to rule them all. Basically setting up paragraph styles for various text elements. Nothing too strenuous for a word processor. My god, LibreOffice is

Right now I’m playing around with software. What to use to write with. There are quite a few choices. Google Doc Microsoft Word LibreOffice Write Microsoft Write YWriter Scrivener Bibisco SmartEdit Writer Notepad++ Zekaric:Word I like Google Doc since it is online and connected to my Google drive so I expect it to be very

I have never been a writer. English class in school was usually near the bottom of the marks department. Maths and Sciences were mainly my cup of tea. However, I have been writing a ton lately. Or it would seem like I have been writing a ton. At work, it has been writing for the

I was lucky. Last few weeks I have noticed some oddness with main machine where it would sometimes just hang when booting up. Funnily enough, Denise never saw the behaviour but it happened to me more than I liked. Thankfully I was already prepared for this eventuality with a backup SSD ready and waiting. The
