Saturday, August 17th, 2019Pretty good day today. Been walking more and more as I can, to work on getting mobile. It’s getting easier. Got caught up on The Expanse (through Season 3) and started watching Agents of Shield. Got my younger son’s new iPad ordered. There’s a sale on the Air 3s on B&H right now. It took […]
Admitted to the E.R.
Friday, August 16th, 2019Yesterday wasn’t a great day. I ended up with weakness in my left leg, and a fever late last night. Jill called my surgeon and he suggested I get into The ER. So we did. Spent most of the night in the ER, was admitted to the hospital again early this morning and got assigned […]
Gone home
Wednesday, August 14th, 2019Did a bunch of walking this morning, got tired and laid back down around 11am. When I woke up around 2pm, I heard that my doctor cut me loose. Been home for a few hours now, resting in my great recliner. Waiting on dinner from Ericks.
Visitors
Tuesday, August 13th, 2019Good day today, got up and walked a few times. Climbed fake stairs with the PT crew. Nurses had me out of bed, and seated for most of the day. Broke out the Bluetooth speaker, so that we could jam out for most of the afternoon & evening. Had several great visitors! Playing Minecraft with my […]
Surgery went well
Monday, August 12th, 2019Surgery went well, started a bit later than we were originally told, but went well. Spent yesterday late afternoon resting, and chatting. Got dinner right before the kitchen closed at 7p. Good thing, too. Nothing since midnight, and I are a light dinner, as instructed, at ~7pm last night. 24h fast, I did not expect. […]
Surgery scheduled
Sunday, August 11th, 2019I will be going for surgery on Monday, Aug 12th, and will spend 2-3 days in the hospital. There will be a 3 to 6 week recovery period. As you [may] know, I’ve had back issues for some time. A couple of years ago, I had a really bad episode and was down (bedridden) for […]
Upgrading my MacPro
Monday, June 4th, 2018I upgraded my 2009 Mac Pro to High Sierra today. What’s that, you say? High Sierra only supports 2010 and up Mac Pros? Hah. The Internet delivers.
Automating Handbrake
Saturday, February 4th, 2017Last night I wrote a script to automate HandBrakeCLI. I ended up needing to rip a DVD with many chapters that were originally individual movies, that I had foolishly lost the sources for. (Always keep backups of your source files!) Generally, when you rip a DVD, you want the Title to be one movie file, […]
Home Automation with HomeBridge
Monday, March 14th, 2016I found a cool project called Homebridge; it lets you bridge Apple’s HomeKit (and therefor Siri) to home automation items that aren’t natively HomeKit compatible. tl;dr I have my WeMo lights and my Craftsman AssureLink garage door opener added to my HomeKit configuration, along with my HomeKit native Ecobee 3 (which is not actually discussed […]
YouTube on AppleTV2
Monday, March 14th, 2016tl;dr: To get YouTube working on your AppleTV2, Install Plex Media Server, then PlexConnect (or OpenPlex if you have a Mac), then the updated YouTube channel. Continue reading for more detailed instructions. After Google & Apple disabled the YouTube app on my AppleTV2, I’ve just been sending YouTube videos over Airplay to it. My dad, however, was very […]
