Would you believe, dear worst-reader, that I spent the last few weeks reading up on SBC's (single board computer) because... these little (miracle) devices are so silly-inexpensive AND extremely useful that I can just keep buying them in order to busy my early-retirement existence, I already have three of them in full use so why … Continue reading Pseudo Tech Test 1: RPi OMV NAS Is First Step To Freedom?

First Time In Croatia
Although there are lots of Das Volk out there that don't mind long car drives, I ain't one of them. So. On our way to Istria, Croatia, for a bit of R&R we stopped for two nights in Salzburg. Perhaps more on Salzburg later. Exhausted from the drive from Salzburg to Istria, we eventually found our … Continue reading First Time In Croatia
From New To Old Or Skipping What’s In-Between
Subtitle 1: E-Book reading. Looks like there's no turning back (for worst-moi). Subtitle 2: A pseudo-review of e-readers. I first started e-reading on a Kindle 2. I loved the design of the Kindle 2, especially the analog page change buttons and the odd but fully functional keyboard that enabled the best note-taking (at the time) … Continue reading From New To Old Or Skipping What’s In-Between
The Delete: Tweets
Ok. Maybe I jumped the gun. Reactivated Twitter account and am employing tweet delete app. Not concerned about my tweets, btw. Just concerned about cleaning slates, desk, and wax out of ears. Next delete? Sept 3 I have a dental appointment. -Rant on T
The Delete: Twitter
Star-date blah-blah-blow-me. Let it be known that on this day, an f'n krappy Sunday, I finally got around to deleting my twitter account. -Rant on T
The End Is Nigh Or Tech World Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Own EVERYTHING
It's finally over, dear worst-reader? Indeed. Not only have I been paying AWS something like $4 a month for the past year for services I had no idear if or how I was utilising, but I've even gotten rid of all those domains I wasn't using that I bought so many years ago thinking I … Continue reading The End Is Nigh Or Tech World Shouldn’t Be Allowed To Own EVERYTHING
Something Little More Than Site Maintenance Or How AWS Might Be Comparable To GM Of Yore
Freeing myself of the juggernaut of scavenger capitalism that's finally, utterly, taken over tech industry? Indeed. Dear worst-reader. I've been worst-saying it for years. Or at least been worst-saying it since that short stint in the advertisement industry--so many years ago--where I had to explain the #interwebnets to a whole host of numb-nut corporate college … Continue reading Something Little More Than Site Maintenance Or How AWS Might Be Comparable To GM Of Yore
Apple v Pi Or How I Slowly Got My Computing Future On
I tried to become a watch-nut once. Not a real watch-nut, mind you. Of course not. A real watch-nut spends lots of money on watches. Heck, I don't even like money. Anywho. A watch-nut knows what a complication is. In fact, that's the only thing that made watches interesting to me. The simpler the complications, … Continue reading Apple v Pi Or How I Slowly Got My Computing Future On
Kudos To The Best Of The Worst
One of the world's most greedy corporate CEOs (I mean, come on worst-reader, it is all about greed and not achievement or merit or the like, right?) has found a moment to put a few degrees between what he represents (über-greed) and what the worst of the worst represents (stupid-greed). Pretty much from day one … Continue reading Kudos To The Best Of The Worst
Bill Clinton The Gold Digger, Hillary His Grab ‘Em By The #Trump And May Stormy Daniels Or Pre-Lawsuit Gawker Save Us All
Subtitle: Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Gawker's Peter Thiel and #Trump's comb-over should suck each other till there's nothing left of all. Disclaimer: This post is NSFW because of some harsh language. Good luck with that and sorry if I offended you before this warning. (Not!) You know, dear worst-reader, you should ask me. (Pause.) In fact, … Continue reading Bill Clinton The Gold Digger, Hillary His Grab ‘Em By The #Trump And May Stormy Daniels Or Pre-Lawsuit Gawker Save Us All
Pseudo Review: Audio On The Cheap, Refurbised Used Speakers, Raspberry Pi HifiBerry Galore And Happy As A Pig In…
First pseudo-review of this sort of stuff here. Been fiddling around with audio for a few years now. About a decade ago, well into my forties, I made the mistake of purchasing a surround sound system. It was some ginormous thirty-pound, seven channel, only God knows how to setup system and after a few years … Continue reading Pseudo Review: Audio On The Cheap, Refurbised Used Speakers, Raspberry Pi HifiBerry Galore And Happy As A Pig In…
Lightening Bold Error And Everything Not Fine. #Uselesseater Happenings In #Eurowasteland Galore. Proper powering An RPI.
Been fiddling with a Raspberry Pi 2 for a while now to get the best sound possible to a save-some-money audio system. Even though these little, credit card sized mini-computers are über rocking cool, the only thing I can figure them for is as clients for servers. I currently have two running. RPI 3 is … Continue reading Lightening Bold Error And Everything Not Fine. #Uselesseater Happenings In #Eurowasteland Galore. Proper powering An RPI.
Apple’s Spinning Wheel Of You Suck
https://youtu.be/LFlTx3UyWWo Don't you hate it when that happens? This particular wheel lasted for well over ten minutes--until I forced a restart on my MacBook Air 7,2. This is but another reminder of how much I'm gonna enjoy making this my last Apple hardware purchase (I spitefully hope). As far as MacOS goes, Apple has really … Continue reading Apple’s Spinning Wheel Of You Suck
Phishing Email #(Whatever)
Don't know why, but I'm totally into collecting these phishing emails. Here's another one I got a few months back. Of course, when I get them I think of two things. One, of course, is to make sure I don't click the wrong links in the email. The second is, ...ha ha ha ha ha! … Continue reading Phishing Email #(Whatever)
Wasteland Or Where A Little Boy Wants A Bike Instead Of A Smartphone
The scene: The entire story is shot in black & white with maybe a little silver superimposed here or there. It's also a time period where the earth's atmosphere can no longer sustain atmospheric high pressure. This climate situation is caused by a perpetual state of atmospheric lows. This is referred to as climate status … Continue reading Wasteland Or Where A Little Boy Wants A Bike Instead Of A Smartphone
Bad Apple, Bad Apple. Now Go In The Corner For Your Time-Out.
Oh my, dear worst-reader. Since confiscating my better-half's 2016 12" MacBook--and she going full iOS as of late 2017--I've been enjoying this little über-fantastic device which has even made me forget my beloved 2015 13" MacBook Air with that friggin i7 processor and that fan that randomly interupts everything all day long--and wants to burn hole … Continue reading Bad Apple, Bad Apple. Now Go In The Corner For Your Time-Out.
Not Only In #Trumpland Does Disinformation Serve The Agenda. Would You Believe Corporations Use Smoke Screens Too? Duh!
Worst-writer has been wielding an iPhone 6s for well over two years now. It's my second "smartphone". Worst-writer has never been a fan of Apple's iOS. In fact, most computer operating systems suck. On top of that, the whole smartphone thing bores me. Reason? These things can do so much more. Here's my worst-dream for … Continue reading Not Only In #Trumpland Does Disinformation Serve The Agenda. Would You Believe Corporations Use Smoke Screens Too? Duh!
Typing On The New MacBook, The Joy Of Butterfly
I can't feel a thing. Well, actually I feel a small click. Yes. It's a click where there should be movement. And I'm not talking about the trackpad? Yet, so similar are these new input and control gadgets on Apple's new MacBook. Comparatively, there is much more movement of the keys and the trackpad of … Continue reading Typing On The New MacBook, The Joy Of Butterfly
Phishing Email Or #Trump For President? What’s The Difference?
These things usually don't get through to me. But my email app didn't catch this one. Since I was right in the middle of a deadline, I whisked through my emails and, even though I feel pretty safe from this type of krapp, there was a brief second where my mouse flickered over the grey … Continue reading Phishing Email Or #Trump For President? What’s The Difference?
Pseudo Review: Followup Of Newly Confiscated 2016 12″ MacBook
The first pseudo-review is here. A third is here. How did I get here, dear worst-reader? How did I get to be the confiscating husband I've become? And how did I get to this place I'm at where being overwhelmed w/ tech gadgets could be so frustrating? You know, dear worst-reader, as a useless-eater, as … Continue reading Pseudo Review: Followup Of Newly Confiscated 2016 12″ MacBook
Interwebnet Uglies & Co.
Ok. Maybe I'm over doing it. It's just that, I really thought, for years and years, that The Ineterwebnets was something beautiful. The reality is, it's something ugly. Very ugly. Of course, it's not ugly because it reveals the worst of humanity. No. It's ugly because the cult of the entrepreneur (#americant) have found so many … Continue reading Interwebnet Uglies & Co.
How The #neweconomy Became The #oldeconomy And #Apple #Sucks
Who loves being forced to buy new technology? I mean, that's really what's happening these days, or? If hardware manufactures somehow acted responsibly, there would then be no reason that the investment consume-to-survivors make couldn't last longer. Or are the engineers that make everything smaller and thinner really not that good after-all? Oh wait. We're … Continue reading How The #neweconomy Became The #oldeconomy And #Apple #Sucks
Pseudo Review: RasPlex + Hifiberry And Some Serious Audio On The Cheap
Kinda follow-up, update to this post here. More pseudo-review of audio equipment here. Can a non-audiophile still hear great audio? Can a music-lover of old music still get some jams through his/her head in these digital times without breaking the bank? Do those guys that spend all that money as "audiophiles" give you the … Continue reading Pseudo Review: RasPlex + Hifiberry And Some Serious Audio On The Cheap
Is A Skewed Mind Any Worse Than The Mindless?
And it was good, your Lord said. Or maybe not, say worst-writer. Or maybe not. It’s also good that the world is looking into who/what the people are that can come up with so much mindlessness--especially when being employed at one of the most prominent employers in the world. I mean, that is the purpose … Continue reading Is A Skewed Mind Any Worse Than The Mindless?
Moment You Know Your Gig Is Up And #ConfessYourUnpopularOpinions
I love it. It's one of those rare moments where there is so much crumbling in the souls of those who thought they $hit roses that I can sit back, for even this brief amount of time, and actually enjoy watching the catastrophic embarrassment of WWE or anything reality-tv. Cause that's what we're/you're in, baby. … Continue reading Moment You Know Your Gig Is Up And #ConfessYourUnpopularOpinions
