  • Not to be morbid, but I found out a friend/former co-worker of mine passed away via Steam. He had been offline for a super long time and one day I saw his account pop up as in game. I decided to say hi, only to find out it was his son. The son told me that my friend has passed about a year prior and he had taken over his father’s account.

    It was such a shock I had to sit and contemplate it for a while. I still don’t quite believe it to this day.




  • Somehow I missed a flight while I was at the gate. Mind you it was a small plane. I still don’t understand it to this day. I was sitting at the gate waiting for them to announce boarding or watch the sign change. Nothing the whole time I was there.

    Finally about 20 minutes after we were supposed to leave I get up and ask the desk staff and they tell me the plane left.

    I didn’t understand how this had happened and apparently neither did they. I didn’t see anyone board the plane, there were no announcements or notifications.



  • That’s exactly how it works. And every time you boot to the USB drive you’re presented a boot menu with a list of isos. You pick the iso you want and then it boots normally to that iso.

    So it’s two pieces of magic that make my life easy.

    1. I just copy the iso to the USB drive.
    2. The boot menu is automatically refreshed every time you boot using it. No updating the menu required!

    Its one of those things, once I started using it, I can’t imagine how I worked without it.




  • I’m one of those weirdos who actually likes an email client vs a web one. I have multipl email accounts and it’s nice to have one space for all of them. I used thunderbird for years and eventually caved and started using multiple tabs of web interfaces.

    With this announcement I said to myself hell let’s try it. Immediately upon installing it I thought I had the wrong version, because the layout was the same old layout that’s it’s always been and not the new vertical card layout they showed on the website.

    I was able to change it to look like their new modem redesign but it was not the default. So just a heads up to anyone who’s curious to try it because of the fresh coat of paint.

    I’m going to try it for the next few months and see how I like it again.
