  • The Divide

    A sense of guilt washes over me, again. I watch as you sleep, restlessly. Your ears and whiskers twitch as you dream, someplace beyond this cruel reality I’m trapped within. I feel foolish. I’ve secretly held my hopes high, but the truth of things comes ever more steadily into focus, crushing the dream I’ve managed…

  • An offering

    I’m scared. I sit here swallowing my own heart. I’ve tried to tread every step with a planned and careful thoughtfulness, to base every agonizing decision out of love, and attempt to anticipate the outcome. The possibilities and uncertainty are tearing me to pieces. Nico is my heart. He isn’t a pet, he is my…

  • Bad Luck

    It seems to me that I’ve had quite a bit of bad luck lately. I’m truly not sure what I’ve done to offend lady Karma, but she has since responded and laid her divine retribution squarely on my shoulders, consistently, for the past month. While I do not understand, I am listening, I am learning,…

  • Nico the Napping

    This cat is the most adorable creature in the world…

  • Upgrading from AMD Ryzen 9 7950x to 9950X3D

    The patient, as viewed under the operating room lights… If you’re interested in my old CPU, it’s for sale here: https://columbus.craigslist.org/sop/d/columbus-amd-ryzen-processor/7834796843.html

  • Well, isn’t that nice

    See what I did there? No? lol. Let me elaborate. As I was waking this morning, my partner came to say good morning with a kiss and casually mentioned “The water was being weird when I was showering.” I grew up on a well – so I’m no stranger to the odd things that sometimes…

  • 100 gigabit to the Desktop

    Truly overkill for ANY purpose. But still fun as hell. 😀

  • Windows Server 2025 Diagnostic Data

    Trash. This kind of shit boils my blood. Why would any company pay, quite handsomely might I add, to use software that can not be controlled once installed? This isn’t some cloud hosted app or service, this is Windows Server. That customers run on THEIR OWN HARDWARE. Possibly in a secure enclave, who knows? Why…

  • Cameron’s American Bistro: Credit Card Required for Restaurant Reservations – NO THANK YOU!

    I wanted to book a reservation at one of my favorite restaurants (well, it USED TO BE a favorite, not anymore!) until I saw this nonsense: I don’t know if this is some new thing from OpenTable or if Cameron‘s is just having issues with people not showing, I don’t care. Regardless, I will never…

  • UniTel Website Insecurity

    Just got off the phone with Lexi at UniTel who gave ZERO fucks about the fact I was able to log in to someone else’s account. It turns out if you visit https://www.unitelcustomer.com/process-password-recovery-token.php and click Submit, you’re able to reset another user’s password without entering anything! I was able to not only log in, but…
