The RSS Feed has been changed to our new audio host RedCircle and can be used to access the Mp3 in your pod-catcher.

Audio content is also available on Archive.org, a link for this is available on the new website.

This Blog will now remain dormant and all new content as of Episode 49 is available on the new site. This Blog will remain as an archive for as Long as Google allow that, and links to the audio should remain active as they link to the audio stored by our friends at archive.org.

Moss: I spent several hours one morning reorganizing my external drives on my Studio machine. When I was done, all my ISOs and my Timeshift directory were all on sdc and everything else - documents, music, pictures, etc. - was on sdb. I refer to these drives as SLOPOKRMRZ and SPDYGNZLZ.

Moss:

I’ve had issues getting work, or having to take time off. My glasses broke and I had to get a new exam and ordered new glasses. I got my flu shot and my new covid shot. The covid shot made me pretty sick with lots of lower abdominal pain for a few days, but I got better. I’ve been pulling back from doing a lot of things I’d like to do, including missing a couple of mintCast episodes. I hope I’m back in better shape now. More........

Moss: My wife finally unburied her new Lenovo T590 ThinkPad, and I updated and upgraded it to Linux Mint 21.2. I even managed to get its power cord plugged in so she can start using it instead of the aging System76 Kudu3. Except that, so far, she continues to use the Kudu. We also spent a weekend at my friend Larry Kirby’s house in South Carolina singing my lungs out with 3 other performers and a room of listeners and lots of food. We also had some car trouble coming back from there, which cost a lot of money to fix. And I’m back to teaching. ...More

Moss:

I’ve been fiddling with a new scooter, something they are always out of when you go to Voldemart so I bought my own. I also got a new “smart guitar”, an Enya Music NEXG, and am getting to know it. I bought a powered digital TV antenna, and so far only have 3 stations I can get - one Christian station, a Christian station in Spanish, and Lifetime. I had a lot of paperwork to get turned in for various programs, and managed to get it all done, although I didn’t get one of them done soon enough and am still waiting to hear back.

Moss:

It has been an off month for me. After working 7 days in May, my work year got over. I’ve been just trying to stay alive, had a few minor health issues. All the Linuxing I’ve done, other than my podcasts, will have to wait until the Updates section. Anyone wanting to check out the result of my last concert can check my Bandcamp Page; the songs are collected under the album, “Third Time’s the Charm”, referring to it being my 3rd time at this particular online festival. ........More

MONTHLY FOIBLES  ...wherein we discuss what we did this month…

Moss: I managed to get all kinds of days of work this past month, my best month this school year. Of course, that is to be followed by 2 months of nothing, as the school term is over. I’ve been keeping quite busy between that and all my podcasts. I also tried using EasyOS. It was easy… but getting applications which were not already provided turned out to be quite difficult. I also mailed two computers and a dock to Dale. Also, Bill Houser took pity on me over my troubles with the EBXYA sound box and bought me a Focusrite Scarlett Solo, which I’m using now.
