Do You Come From The Land Down Under?
While at the Fort, one of the visitors to come through, was from Australia. I wanted to break out into songs from Men At Work, but restrained myself. During our conversation, we were talking about the nasties that live in Australia. Of course, there were the spiders. We agreed that spiders were worse down under.…

AAR – Show and Tell at the Fort at #4
It was a beautiful day for a visit to the Fort. You all would have had a chuckle if you had seen me. Remember the movie True Grit with John Wayne and Glen Campbell? Mattie Ross wore a black hat. That is the hat I felt I was wearing yesterday. Except mine didn’t have a…

Show and Tell At the Fort!
I’m up at the Fort with Ally and my wife. They are having a show and tell. She picked out the garb to wear, and I have my black felt hat. Originally, I intended to do some wood working, but that is currently on hold until I get some raw lumber. The lathe needs bracing…

What they accomplished, Alice, with instruments…

Tuesday Tunes
There are always songs that stay with us forever. My first year at University, I was amazed at how many concerts and shows were held on campus. Over the time I was there, I was able to see off Broadway productions of Cat and A Chorus Line. In addition to plays there were the concerts.…

An Empty Nest
Today is different. It is challenging to put into words what is different. I know what has changed, but finding the words is difficult. More than 36 years ago, I was sitting in an operating room as a doctor was cutting my wife’s belly open. I was in scrubs, looking and feeling out of place.…

High Availability Services
People get very upset when they go to visit Amazon, Netflix, or just their favorite gun blog and the site is down. This happens when a site is not configured with high availability in mind. The gist is that we do not want to have a single point of failure, anywhere in the system. To…
