It’s not quite done, so the “after” pictures are named “SemiAfter”, but the main contractor is doing a final walk through, today (Wed, 3 Aug). Here’s what they’ve done: Clearly not finished, but everything works!

The King Needs Contractors
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wallHumpty Dumpty had a great fallAll the King’s horses and all the King’s menCouldn’t put Humpty Dumpty together again. Leaving aside “who thought the horses would be helpful?”, the King needed some contractors amongst his retainers. The upstairs is coming back together better, stronger, and, um, slicker than before. WeContinue reading “The King Needs Contractors”
Fenris, Chained
Fenris is now chained. He cannot access the Internet, but he can still vacuum. The picture is the Blockly logic for clicking on his icon and toggling his state.
Entrapment Most Fowl
I’m fine, but the rubber ducks are not faring as well. It’s a good thing they do not have viscera.
Me Casa es Su Kasa
My goodness but [expletives deleted] lightbulbs are snoopy! The Kasa “smart” lightbulbs want to know everything about you to upload into the Kasa cloud app, which of course requires setting up an account. Want to guess my password? Hint: It’s the title of this post. Thankfully, once you get them WiFi-ed, you don’t need useContinue reading “Me Casa es Su Kasa”
I’m Not Dead, Yet
The hot tub is not only filled, it is hot. It hasn’t killed me, yet. I did kill my network swapping out the firewall. Tip: It doesn’t matter what your iptable forwarding rules are if IP forwarding is not enabled. Next steps: Renumber the virtual machines and add the names to PiHole.

DANGER: RISK OF SEVERE INJURY FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK OR DEATH FROM ELECTROCUTION! seven bullet points (bleeding on to page 3). Oddly, hair dryers are not called outContinue reading “Hibernating Menace!”
O Deer
I knew I should have bought a K-bar when they were on sale at Amazon. But, no, I think to myself, I think, “whatever would I use it for?”
Trench First
I highly recommend getting any desired trenching work done before doing anything else to one’s yard. We’re getting our power lines buried because we want a second floor deck. As the power lines exist, they would either take off your head or electrocute you when you walked across the deck. The trench was dug, conduitContinue reading “Trench First”
Alpha Unit – Breezeway
“Unit A” became “Unit Alpha” has become “Alpha Unit”. I’m working on a unit patch, but I suck at digital art, so it’s taking a while. Meanwhile, the breezeway is the next remodeling target. It’s an odd space. It’s the entrance to the house with the screen door a mere 12 feet from the actualContinue reading “Alpha Unit – Breezeway”
