TIME TO UPGRADE: Update

2018-12-10 Migration from the iMac to the Mini is complete. It was a tough expedition, not due to hardware issues, but due to not being that familiar with the new operating system it came with. The changes in the new OS are heavily related to security and privacy and after initial boot up, I found myself being unable to create shares and only my home folder was visible. But I got through it with the help of a friend, the Apple Community, and Google. I can basically do all I need to do and the backup processes are intact. And the performance of the new box made the struggle all worth it.

RuCyrious.com Update

2018-11-20 Another posting of personal faves from my art and illustration folders is up at RuCyrious.com. Collected Works #02, like it’s predecessor, is a mishmash of different pieces from classical to comical. Find a fave of your own within.

First Snow

2018-11-16 Downfall of the white stuff started around 4:00 PM yesterday. I got up this morning at 4:00 AM to see 6” of it, now getting heavier from a light rain. The weather geeks report still freezing temps, but it looks to be warmer than that. I used to hate snow while I was a commuting working stiff, but I don’t mind it now. I can deal with it on my terms, not the job’s. And the exercise from shoveling is helpful. I often clean a few neighbors walks and front decks, and sometimes also brush off their cars and make sure they can get out. Of course how much of this helpful activity occurs is dependent upon the depth and weight of it all, and how cold and windy it is. When I go out early, before 6:00 AM, it makes for a pleasant and peaceful start of day.
