Hinton's orchard

- Posted in Uncategorized by

Well, fairly relaxed day at work today. Only six clients at TR. Tomorrow is our field trip to Hinton's Orchard. I'm not particularly looking forward to it. I'm guessing 8-10 clients to actually show up in time to make the trip.

I'm trying out OwnCloud by installing it on VirtualBox as an appliance, on my HP computer. That failed to work, even after I enabled the Hypervisor feature on Windows 10. So then I enabled the Linux subsystem, rebooted, went to the Windows Store, and downloaded and installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

Removable drives and hamburger helper

- Posted in Uncategorized by

Second consecutive day without K at work. Annoying. C and I cooked lunch. Something like hamburger helper. Billed on eight today. Can't find my King Dian drive. Hope it turns up, but it's not critical. I have plenty of backups of its contents.

Susan has been over sitting with her dad while Barbara is out. I've watched episodes 5 and 6 of the third season of Colony. I'm going to go next door now and spend some time with Susan and Jimmie.

It's been in the mid- to upper-90s every afternoon this week, but tomorrow afternoon is gonna be 70-75, supposedly, so I'm hoping I can get a 10K run in after work. I also need to call and leave a message for Dr. Jones to see if she'll refill my redacted.

Today, I figured out how to configure FreeFileSync 10.16 to mirror some directories to my Google Drive and to my current website's public ftp folder. I saved the XML config files.

Texted mom this morning. Sounded like she and Sharylon are having a pretty good trip. Susan said Hannah is house-sitting for Brack and Isabel Flanagan for a few evenings, taking care of their dogs.

Busy day at work. I did eleven notes and submitted an OTR on ST. I did two billing correction requests. Kelly skipped out in order to drive out of state to purchase a parrot, supposedly. Our staff meeting, as usual, went about an hour longer than needed. I'm hoping for fewer clients tomorrow. I'm also hoping that AP's outing permission form comes in the mail.

I installed TeamViewer14 on my laptop and my ThinkCentre desktop PCs today, the former so that I can access the laptop remotely when at work, the latter so I can access my main desktop at home while on my laptop.

I also backed up my website, my non-public CMS, and some other directories to my MyBook, Seagate drive, and a 1 TB external drive today. Hey, the more backups the better, right?

So, I currently have copies of my blog CMS on: • my laptop • my TNAS • my ThinkCentre desktop PC • my Hewlett Packard PC • my 1 TB external drive • my Seagate external drive • my MyBook external drive • three different thumb drives • my website FTP server • my MyCloud NAS

Tuesday 10/01/2019. We had ten clients at TR today. I spent the morning fleshing out the paperwork for the field trip scheduled for the 22nd. After completing notes post-lunch, I did SD's OTR and submitted it to UM.

Although I'm not very far along in Walker's The Physics of Consciousness, I went ahead and read Matthew Donald's five-page critical review of the book, to perhaps give me some additional context while reading.

Susan texted me and plans on making bang-bang shrimp for supper. Sounds good to me. I'm going to call my pharmacy on the way home and request that they submit a request to Dr. Jones for a refill of my testosterone. It would put off a $150 office-visit, which certainly makes it worth a go.

The Windows 10 Pro Azulle Plus PC needs a t.v. or projector to connect to via HDMI. I may get a small flatscreen t.v. and wireless mouse and keyboard and run it from a table in my office at TR. I could install TeamViewer and hook up a sizable external drive via its USB 3.0 hub. Put a hub in its USB 2.0 slot and plug the wireless dongles for the mouse and keyboard in there.

I could install KODI or Plex and stream educational movies, TED Talks, documentaries, etc., for the clients. And it would give me yet another backup location for all my movies, music, software, blog, etc.

Covid or just some virus?

- Posted in Uncategorized by

It has been a busy week. Eleven groups and too many emails and spreadsheets. And to top it off, I think I'm coming down with something: too many aches in too many places. Hopefully it isn't Covid, back for round two.

I'm hoping to finish assessing Desolation RPG as a potential rules manual from which I can cherry-pick for my intended solo campaign. But I also need to work on 6 CEU hours for an EMDR training I purchased weeks ago. October 30th isn't that far off. I need to be able to show 10+ completed CEU hours to my licensing board.

I've dabbled in C# since this programming language was first introduced. Here I provide links to useful tips and snippets, source code, and related thoughts. And let me assure you, these source code files represent a lot of time and learning on my part.
