This blog is ill-suited to re-sharing other peoples’ content. You know, interesting and/or funny links you encounter throughout the day and would like your friends and family to see, optionally with a comment of your own attached. The thing is, what do you use? Twitter? Facebook? Reddit? Are they on what you’re on?

Well, if you want to consume what I’m sharing, you can now use the RSS reader of your choice (or go straight to the website, or get it delivered to your email). It’s self-hosted and open source, of course:

And one for Bain.

I have electronic records for personal finances dating back to 1997. Much like this blog, it’s had several homes. It used to be in Quicken. Then I moved it to Gnucash. Now it’s in a plaintext format readable by ledger.

I fixed our 8-year old TV. It turned on and it had sound but no picture. I replaced something called the T-Con board and it worked again! The part cost $85 USD and I was fortunate enough to find it locally. Otherwise it would have been a $1000 trip to Costco and tossing a 60-inch screen in the recycling bin. 😦
