A little Dumb Dad Humor to keep this site alive.

In keeping the website active, here' s bit of political humor featuring Comrade Bernie. 😉

Testing the new download of Typora on my new MacBook Air M2 that I’ve been setting up this weekend. It is taking a little getting use to and tweaking a new computer is always challenging … never as smooth as what I am used to using – my old 2012 iMac (below)1. current iMac setup ↩︎

While experimenting with the Hugo watch server for static pages and updating while posting on the fly from iAWriter on the iPad, I’ve been unable to set up a Linux cron instead of the -watch mode. It is going to require a little more digging into this as this is not intended to be a production server. For now I’ll keep experimenting with Markdown and memorizing a few of the quicker features that makes writing notes and posting them easy … *perhaps there is a way to tie this into my quickdex.

This is a test only post from a new to me Mac app called MarsEdit. It is similar to my much loved Open Live Writer on Windows, but without a few of the features or ablity to preview the blog format while typing. Still I’m going to give it a try and see if I can adjust to it. Just added my own macro to MarsEdit with the “Read More” tag to split posts (missing).

This is another iAWriter iPad to Hugo test post with a MyDesultoryBlog.com link a way to reset the Linux Hugo cron. Also forgot how to add footnotes.1 Updated on January 20, 2023 by removing the thumbnail. ↩︎

Test posting using Terminal on the iPad (with an edit on iAwriter). It is the final Hugo post for the year of 2022 and doesn’t include any additional content. Happy New Year.

Finding enough overhead bin space for carry-on luggage is a problem for a lot of travelers who dislike checking bags, waiting at the carousel … or even worse, dealing with lost luggage. More and more airlines have or are updating their overhead bins to accommodate more carry-on luggage, but travelers have been slow to catch on to putting their bags on their sides rather than flat – often because the bag don’t look as if they will fit.

It’s the first day of fall today, September 22, 2022. The weather has turned cooler and the air just a bit crisper in the mornings here in Cincinnati … not that that is always the case. Do you know what ‘equinox’ means? The word means ‘equal night’. But daytime and night are not actually equal because, although the center of the sun sets 12 hours after it rises, the day begins when the upper edge of the sun reaches the horizon.

One of the projects this winter is to hopefully make a cornhole set-up. Perhaps it will make for a good gift, or maybe just a yard game for the house. I have put this off way too long!
