• The week

    From Avon@21:1/101 to All on Sun Jul 12 00:03:05 2020
    Well my wife is now home after 1 month away up in the North Island working
    with her brothers to sort out her mums estate. It's still a WIP but she was just over being away for so long and needed time back home. I took a day off this week after she got back to just spend time together and have also been working from home for two days a week.

    There's a lot of change going on where I work with some high level departures of senior staff and with that comes some uncertainty about the way the place will run in the coming months ahead etc.

    I'm still waiting for a job I am interested in to be advertised. Was told it would be at the start of this month and I'm still waiting to see it listed. Sigh.

    So yeah, little time to spend on BBS at the moment and feeling like there's a bit to juggle still in daily work / home life.

    But still kicking around and hope you're doing OK too. :)

    Until the next time.

    Best, Paul

    Glad that ya'll are able to reconnect... its hard being away for extended periods - that always gets me in a way... glad that her time away is ending
    for ya's..

    Hmmm.. work is life sometimes; at any rate, I hope both the change in arms
    goes well, and that you possibly can get in on the next opportunity.. sounds like yer full of stress... hoping you're able to make the best of such.

    Dude, you take care of yourself.. from what I see, the board and the net both run without TOO many hitches; don't forget to TAKE the time for yourself.
    These things are for fun brother... make sure they remain that way. You are
    the best to all of us.. it doesn't go unseen.

    Until the next time.
    Best, Paul

    I'm glad she's back home. Someone has to keep an eye on you. ;)

    I'm sure it will be listed soon. Maybe they will decide not to list it, and just let you have it!

    I know the feeling... This past week, between work and working from home, I think I was at about 85 hours... Now, I'm on vacation for the next week and a half. :) Well deserved!

    Of course I did find out on Thursday night, there is some type of incompatibility between the new AMD Ryzen chip and Debian based linux
    distros. I had the random desktop freeze from the beginning, but on Thursday, my system decided it was done. I couldn't boot to the SSD drive, so I tried re-installing Debian. Everything installed just fine, but wouldn't boot. I ended up installing Manjaro on here, and it works just fine. Now, I just have to get everything else I need installed again, along with trying to figure
    out pacman... :)

    At least I have the next 9 days to get everything figured out. :)

    Heh.. my dinner cooking skills are much better than before she left :)

    I hope so I am so sick of waiting for it.

    Enjoy your break Dan... and I hope the weather plays nice too :)

    Oooo.. Pacman.. :)

    I've been working on my static built personal site in recent days... figured
    it needed some work done on it. I'm using HUGO to build it. I quite like HUGO.

    It's been nice and warm the last few days. I think Saturday we had a high of 104F (40C). Today should only be about 97F (36C), so it'll be cool enough to
    do some things outside. :)

    Oooo.. Pacman.. :)

    wakka wakka wakka wakka wakka wakka ;)

    I started making a few changes to my website as well. I haven't heard of
    HUGO. I'll have to take a look at it.

    I did get some files set up on the castlerockbbs.com site. I found a way that
    I can utilize my cloud backup as a file server, and control it all from my system here. :)

    It was suppose to be Pacman, but I think it did sound more like Fozzy Bear. :)

    To be fair, it was a good representation of PacMan, but it just reminded me ìof Fozzy to much to pass up... Foz was a little more like Wakka wakka wakkahh
