A home without books is a body without soul.
Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all the others.
It's been a very long time since I have posted here. This is the obligatory "oh gosh I will post here more frequently!" post. :D
Initially I am going to be posting quotes that inspire me every morning. This sounds super cheesy YET, it's nice to think about things outside the normal daily cycle, you know?
Delicious hot drinks
Nov 21st 2022
Every morning my wife makes me a beautiful, delicious latte, and it is the best thing ever.
I am spoiled.
We've been trying to use the indoor pool a lot while we are in VA. It's been fun so far!

The Punchbowl, great restaurant + tavern + inn that was a 30 second walk from our place.

We are currently in Woodstock, England. It is a 10 minute walk to the Blenheim Palace.
Pics will follow! (I had to fix a thing on my blog, but I can upload things again!)
Sunsets

The sunsets here in Menifee are pretty wonderful.
Today was a really good workday. Also, wanted to test my update ability here... :)
My hubris was my downfall
Mar 16th 2022Hello! So, my blog was offline for a month here, just got it back online. And now, what is this.. ~ 4 years of posts are missing? Well, what happened? Like always, it was a problem of my own creation.
- Write own blogging engine
- Import years of Wordpress content into it
- Be so pleased with it that I don't think to ever back up MariaDB, because my system is flawless!
- Set up gitea on the same box
- Don't pay attention to the fact that many, many repos are getting added
- Storage fills up
- MariaDB has a heart attack
- I don't realize the space issue, and think maybe I just need to restart box. That has 0 bytes free
- Restart box, MariaDB corrupts its data when it tries to restart
- Figure out it's a space issue, clear space
- Try every trick in the book to restore MariaDB data, but hopelessly corrupted
- Give up, set up new instance and move everything over
So, my friends let that be a lesson to you. Back up your content! I do sort of have my archives, but I'll need to manually update this to backfill them. So I expect about 1-2 a week.
