My wife is working on moving her practice to a new site, and she wanted me to add SquareUp Scheduling to her Wordpess site. She likes the simplicity of the scheduling system and of course, having the payments managed in the same service is nice. The quickest and easiest way was to create a page…
Recently I noticed that the 500 GB SSD on my desktop was getting dangerously low on space. I cleaned out my Downloads folder, deleted some movies I had saved, and emptied the trash to clear up some space. I knew that this was only a temporary solution and that I would need to think about…
I’m finally getting serious and focusing on becoming a novice swing trader. This is the only form of trading that I can realistically focus on right now since I typically work 50-70 hours per week not including commute time. I get up at 4:00 am to be at work by 6:00, then work until at…
I’m working on building up a new VPS using Ubuntu 20.04 and Docker for all the services. This seems straight forward, but so far it’s presented some unique issues that I don’t think I’d have on a conventional setup. I think the first trouble I ran into is just the number of prebuilt images available…
The room that doesn’t want to be a room This is our third 15 yard dumpster from The Pink Dumpster. We filled this one mostly with drywall from the kitchen and the back bedroom. We’re in the process of removing the back room because, as Alexis pointed out, it doesn’t want to be a room….

Today I witnessed some wild swings in the options market. I’m currently holding 5 stocks that were recommended in a recent Seeking Alpha article and 2 options contracts each for 2 weed stocks. The stocks did okay. Three up and 2 down for the day, but all up overall. The options were a totally different…
We bought a house and we’re very excited. It’s like buying a piece of history! This was the first house that we looked at, though we looked at a couple of others, and the first house that we bid on. Obviously, the house will need some work. From what I can tell looking at the…
In researching hydroponics on the Internet, I ran across something pretty amazing. It’s Kratky Method which is a totally passive, zero electricity method for hydroponics. Yeah, dead simple. I’ve been working on getting my own hydroponics system setup and have been researching various circulation systems and methods, different layouts, blah, blah, etc. Then I discovered…
My printer had been working pretty well for a long time. The quality had started to slowly degrade, but I still considered it well within acceptable tolerances. Then, finally, I started experiencing intermittent clogs. I tried cleaning the nozzle as best as I could, soaking in acetone (well, my girlfriend’s nail polish remover), heating the…
