This evening, Kathy and I woke up around 7 pm and headed out to eat. We ended up at Dave and Busters, because I was lusting for one of their incredible chicken cheesesteaks. Well, Kathy and I ended up on the midway, where I blew away all the Rush 2049 top scores, while Kathy made enough tickets to buy a lovable red dragon stuffed doll. It was just what each of us needed to fully unwind.
Once we got home, I un-boarded the windows, putting them in the bedroom for future use. Then I started the long and tedius task of putting our network back together. I made a few improvements, including running the servers through an old hub for the local network, and patched up the apartment's connections so that we could run the laptop from the bedroom if we wanted. I doubt we'll ever use it, but the possibility is now there.
I also moved myself several feet away from Kathy's computer to give her more room, along with moving about a foot from the wall so that I could go back there when needed. I basically moved things around so that everything was within arm's reach, except the second monitor, which is further back so I can place more junk on my desk when needed.
Let me tell you, I am sore all over and completely exhausted. I cannot for the life of me remember a week as hectic or tiring as this one. I pray that'll never happen again.
As for this blog, I'll be enabling the style sheet soon, seeing as roncli.com and friends are back up. In about a day or so, I'll return it to the usual blog.roncli.com location so that I don't get those annoying adver-comments that really ticked me off, so if you're using the roncli.blogspot.com address, just know there'll be a change.
Of course, normalcy may mean updates every other week, but oh well. I'm just glad to be back to it.
This is my blog where I give my thoughts and opinions on various topics and share my creative endeavors with the world. I run two personal blogs, but combine them here for ease of access.
Blogger - My oldest blog using the Blogger platform contains posts full of opinions, gaming, and code.
Tumblr - Tumblr posts are all about my creative side, containing music, videos, writings, and updates on my web creations.

In California, truck license plates are 7 characters, all numbers except for one letter in either the second or the sixth position. Whenever that letter is an X, I get nerd snipped into treating it as a multiplication problem and solving it in my head.
we should have paid more attention to the cats who, for decades, put their bodies on the line to walk on keyboards and sit on laptops and prevent us from programming

I'd also love a 6 hour layover overnight instead of taking the red eye I was going to take and be 7 hours later getting into Cleveland than I wanted, why do you ask? #airporthell
Why yes, I'd love to leave at 4:40 to get to the airport at 6:20 for an 8:20 flight that got delayed to 9:05 which is too late for my connection so now I'm on a 10:20 flight instead. Why do you ask? #airporthell
@shanselman Who at Microsoft do I have to bribe to fix ADO so that those of us on dark mode who copy/paste text from one task to another can do so without our friends on light mode seeing dark text on a dark background?
I updated the blog post with a statement from Revival. While I'm not particularly happy with Revival's decision, I understand their motives. It's just a shame that it was someone from Interplay that had to go and do this. "By games for gamers" my ass.
Damn, got another Tetris world record! This time in the arcade variant developed by Atari. 6,008,005 points, 5,386 lines, round 363. Be warned, it's nearly FIVE HOURS. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2131759212
