The power of difference
I'm a lover of good audio but I don't consider myself an "audiophile". Why? Well I don't agree with a lot of the common beliefs that go with that label. For example I think DACs are important, but I don't think that the average person can hear the difference between an amplifier with a toridial power supply, and I certainly thing that polarised HDMI cables are sheer crazy town.... The problem is a lot of these claims are very subjective, and really can't be proven. However recently I did (...)
Five Months of Windows
I was out of the country and as a result my Windows 10 based server was on without a reboot for months. 5 months. I was rather stressed about it as I've never tested Windows 10 that long, but it did make it. During this time it was running as the house server and running some file management programs written by Sinner Computing and yeah... I got back and it was all running fine. Explorer had crashed and but it was all fine.
(Why no auto-reboots? 'cos I've blocked them. Why? My (...)
Need a bigger day
So yeah, as expected no programming progress was made. Sux really. I did loads of software testing, and made some solid decisions on the future of SiegSpace.com, but even the news is still not fully transferred and I still haven't finished sorting though the photos I've taken. (I'm close; Intrepid Museum, and two locations around Fredericksburg. So maybe three or four batches? Although Intrepid could take a while....) But, (...)
An exercise in time management and priorities
Back in June I got back to this internet thing. I never really left, I just stopped making visible changes. So I stopped stopping. I had plans to get back to a rapid Beta release cycle so I could then finish this whole 1.9 thing started many moons ago. But due to many reasons, mostly website updates, photos and exercise, that has not happened. In reality, it's not going to happen now for several months as (...)
Not sure how I missed a whole protocol
iTimeSync has been a popular program all things considered, and unlike other popular programs it's one that has been used by me. It's been so long since I wrote it (2002) I can't even exactly remember why I even did. There's no useful comment in the ReadMe... and my motivations 20 years ago are a mystery in itself. Most likely I simply wanted a way to sync all my computers time and figured I might as well write it myself. It (...)
New ummmm stuff
New beta! New release? Dunno. The plan for the rapid-cycle was 'cos several life issues were happening, some happened and some did not, but in any case available time became less. Now time has improved in the short term... but the number one goal is stable programs. So what may end up happening is a whole lot of new Beta releases and a new release months down the track. Not sure. For now the plan is Betas...
