The bad thing about where I live is that the stove vent blows out into the atrium where you walk into your apartment. My neighbor is making shrimp scampi.

I NOW WANT SHRIMP SCAMPI.

He's still alive! And dare I say taller and with bigger leaves? I've been leaving him out on the patio to get sun and and fresh air. Today while I was working in the living room, I bought him in to spend a little time with him.

Yes, he's now a pet as much as an ingredient. I did pick one of the leaves to taste, and sure enough, that's holy basil. Hope he didn't mind.

And yes, he is a he. I'm getting "he" vibes from the plant, and I've been casually calling him my "beautiful boy" so yeah. Boy plant.

Hey, all.

Just a heads up that I'm still frantically looking for work. If you have a job you'd think I'd be good for (I specialize in tech support, customer service, team management and project management), please send it along (or send ME along!).

It's getting tight around here and any help would be appreciated!

So as I spend time more and more in VR, I find more and more that the household servers are disrupted. This is because I run all my stuff off the office machine and the servers work in Linux. The VR, though, only works in Windows. So I go into VR, I lose all my servers.

Last night, I finally moved my file and Plex servers over to my living room machine. It's always on as is, rarely gets used, and while underpowered, it works just fine to serve files and transcode video. And now I can jump into VR without losing the house servers.

There was a side effect I didn't expect, though - I can now pipe live TV through the house via my Plex server. I don't watch much live TV, and mostly just use it for news, but I always had an issue "piping" that video to my office computer.

Usually, I have my TV hardware record the video to a file in the living room, and then I watch that file in the office. Roundabout way, but it works. But now, with the Plex server out there, I can turn on Plex, tell it "Channel 7" and poof, I get channel 7 in the office.

Also - Whose Line in the office is very nice. :)

Never gonna hit those notes....

Thoughts Before Bed:

Went out to see if I could catch a glimpse of tonight's Aurora. Didn't get any because of cloud cover...but what I did get was rather lovely....
