Stuff I Did

This week was a little different than normal. We were at my parents' house and had to make trips to Erie most evenings. No time for nerdy stuff. 

Here's a picture from back home for you.

Stuff I Did

It was an interesting week. My wife had our church's fall youth camp at our home on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings.

Sunday we left for Pennsylvania to spend some time with my parents. We stopped at Shy Bear Brewing on the way and shared a flight, some nachos, and a flatbread.

Stuff I Did

I had my chemo port removed on Thursday. Now I just need to keep the cats from crawling around on my chest for a couple weeks.

We got the hot tub setup for the season.

We also watched the Morgan State University Homecoming parade. I never plan on it, but once a year the bands practicing wakes me up, and we eventually move down the block and take a seat and enjoy it.

Stuff I Tried

Played with PikaOS a bit in live mode. I may eventually give it a try on real hardware.

Welp, my blogging severely slowed this year. I've tried to do a few things to make it more active, which haven't worked out. Going to try again, with a weekly recap. This'll give me 7 days to update as to what happened the prior week. Let's see if it works! I'm going to separate it into Stuff I Did, Stuff I Learned, Stuff I Tried (probably mostly software and distros), Stuff I Found (links and the like), and Stuff I Watched.

A number of years ago I gave up on personalized music streaming services. I had used Pandora for the longest time, but tried to remove reliance from any service that required an account and a proprietary app, in the name of privacy. I opted to use streaming radio stations with open source apps that were privacy friendly. On Android I most recently used Transistor and on Linux I most recently used Shortwave. Both great, simple applications.
