Unsupported Should Not Mean Blind
Still Blind After the Log Storm: When “Unsupported” Isn’t the End of the Story In April, I ran into a server problem that turned a monitoring tool into part of the outage. The short version is this: the DigitalOcean monitoring agent began producing repeated filesystem metric errors on a CloudLinux/cPanel server using CageFS. The logs grew until /var/log consumed roughly 96 GB, CPU stayed high,…
My Journey To Forgejo
From SourceSafe to Forgejo: Preserving My Code Before It Disappears Before I learned Git, there was Visual SourceSafe. If you used it, that sentence probably caused a little twitch. SourceSafe was one of those tools that technically counted as version control, but often felt like a shared folder with a bad attitude. It was buggy. It could become corrupted. Sometimes it had to be rebuilt.…
Tiny Pockets Press
Image 1. Tiny Pockets Press Recently, I’ve been working on a little project to let me compose a book and print the pages, targeting different miniature book sizes. I’m often fascinated by tiny books, and perhaps one of the first tiny books I made was a tiny book of butterflies, after hearing a song at the time, “Strange Attraction,” on The Cure’s album Wild Mood Swings, which mentioned such a…

Inside the Sapphire R-91: First Look
Adventures With a Rowe R-91, The Weglein Musik Machine After serving lunch over at the Warren County Senior Center, I dropped by Stone Branch Center for the Arts to take a look at the Juke Box. The director had purchased it from Facebook Marketplace the day prior for $100. There weren’t many details, but I suspected it to be an AMi Rowe R-91 Jukebox. We later found that although it was…
Between Meals and Memories
In the morning, I headed over to the senior center to help serve smoked chicken prepared by one of the local Masons, along with sides made by the staff and volunteers. I usually arrive a little early before lunch is ready, so I can spend time talking with everyone as people settle in. Before the meal begins, everyone gathers for the Pledge of Allegiance and a patriotic song, and then the…

CSS, Jukeboxes, and Flags
Today was one of those days where life quietly shifted direction without asking permission first. Nothing dramatic happened. No major announcement. No singular defining event. Yet by the end of the night, things somehow felt different. Dreamy Audio Yesterday had been long, and I woke up this morning feeling groggy and disconnected. I had an odd dream lingering in my head. It was the kind that…
The Day of the Royal Blueberry Tart
A Day of Ink, Archives, and Murals This morning began with more time spent cleaning and experimenting with the Remington Noiseless 10 typewriter. After washing parts of it with water and a cloth the day before, it still had a small amount of rust or dirt that rubbed off on paper. I fed a few extra sheets of paper through the machine to add pressure against the roller and internal parts while…
Solving SSL Before Press
Chasing a Phantom SSL Certificate Before the Interview Earlier today, I met with a reporter who came to interview both the director of the Stone Branch Center for the Arts and me about the Restoring the Signal phone exhibit. Before the interview, I had spent days ensuring the website and supporting subdomains worked correctly, without certificate warnings or browser security alerts that might…
Restoring the Signal Flyers
On Tuesday, I’ll be sitting in on an interview about the exhibit to help drum up some community participation. In preparation for the reporter and to help the public, I put together a few flyers. One is a simple flyer meant to be put on the wall to quickly get started. Another is a directory of configured numbers to call. Two pages provide a detailed history of the project, digging a little…
Remington Noiseless Typewriter 10
I purchased this typewriter from Happy Creek Antiques for $75. I had been keeping an eye out for older typewriters that resembled the one I grew up with. Talking with my dad on his birthday, he mentioned that the typewriter we had was purchased for $5 in a post office that was also combined with an antique shop where his mom worked as a clerk. My own mother suggested that I use it when filling…

Artist Trading Card: Artistic Revolution Number 6 I stopped back into Stone Branch Center for the Arts on Sunday to swap out the memory card for the telephone exhibit.
