Home of my tech rants, free programs, and a story or two…
OK, now my follow up to my original post about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.
Suffice it to say, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was good. Did it live up to the hype? Sadly, no it didn’t. Did it bring good writing to the Star Trek legacy? Yes, it did; however, it wasn’t enough to cover up all the bad in Discovery and Picard. Maybe season two will do this, I don’t know; all I know is that they have a lot of cleaning up to do to make up for all the shit that was Discovery and Picard.
Contrary to what some might think I may say about Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, I actually like the show. For one, it holds much closer to what Gene Roddenberry envisioned for the future of mankind in the sense that people simply get along with each other, that utopian society that I hope that one …

Read More Chapters 7, 8, and 10…Seriously Microsoft? Many of the features that we’ve had in Windows for three decades are missing. The list below is just a brief list of features that are missing. A clock on the taskbar of secondary monitors. The ability to resize the taskbar. The ability to drag a file onto a taskbar icon. And this …
Read More Microsoft? How did you think that Windows 11 was ready for release?Yes, I’m going to go there so hang out… it’s going to be a wild ride. First of all, I am, in fact, a traditional computer user. I’ve been using computers since the early days of computers. We’re talking back when Windows 3.1(11111) for Workgroups was the cat’s nuts. I remember tweaking autoexec.bat and config.sys …

Read More Chapters 5 and 6…I can finally say that I have had a shot of Johnnie Walker Blue Label. Well, here’s my critique. It’s good. I’m not denying that it’s good. However, is it as good as the price tag would suggest? Not by a long shot. It’s smooth, real smooth; but in a way, it’s too smooth. There’s …
Read More Johnnie Walker Blue LabelI had to disable CloudFlare on this web site, it was messing up a lot of things like renewing my Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate and I couldn’t for the life of me figure out the how and why it wasn’t working. Not only that but there were a lot of things that the free plan …
Read More Disabled CloudFlare…So the system that I gave my father that had an old Intel Core i5 3570K was showing signs of instability. Well, I did have the chip overclocked for quite some time to 4.4 GHz when I was still using the system so who knows, perhaps the overclock for three years resulted in a degraded …
Read More I built an AMD Ryzen system…Some people may remember that I wrote a rather glowing review of the Intel Core i7 8700K (review linked here). At the time it was the best processor one could buy at the time if you were a gamer. Ryzen version 1 had issues, clock-for-clock AMD was indeed slower than Intel and game benchmarks did …
