ChunPo Rises

ChunPo kneels on the ground in front of a cherry blossom tree, and listens to the sounds of battle, born to him on the winds.

ChunPo makes a daily pilgrimage from his homestead in HalfhillLearn More

Tools I can’t live without: Synergy
Geek post! 🙂 There are a few utilities that I use that are not well known, but I find critical. One of the ones that I use most is Synergy. It’s function is straight-forward: share one mouse and keyboard among multiple computers. What makes Synergy awesome, though, is how far above and beyond this functionality Synergy goes. First, it’s cross-platform: I use it to share between my Linux workstation and a Macbook Pro seemlessly. Second, itLearn More

Useful Crontab Header | [ squarism ]
Years and years ago, I wrote about an awesome crontab header that I had found somewhere on the net. At the time, I linked to the page but did not include the actual header in the blog post. Now, the site that I linked to is gone, and I could not find the header anywhere in my dot files. Fortunately, Squarism came to the rescue! # minute (0-59), # | hour (0-23), # | |Learn More

WeightJournal – Nov 23, 2015 – Thanksgiving! It’s that wonderful time of the year again!

WeightJournal – October 2, 2015 – Puppy sighting!
WeightJournal – October 2, 2015 – Puppy sighting! In this week’s video – recorded live from one of our local parks – I babble about how our bodies tend to try and get rid of weight if we stay out of their way. I think I probably have talked or written about this before, but it keeps coming to mind. Once a person is 50+ lbs overweight, our bodies actively start trying to lose some ofLearn More
WeightJournal, August 13th, 2015 – All about exercise!
WeightJournal, August 13th, 2015 – All about exercise! I know, I know, normally when I’ve taken a couple weeks away from this journal, it means I’ve started gaining a ton of weight. That isn’t the case this time – I just completely lost track of days/weeks. I’m back now, though, and this week I’m babbling about my activity habits over the last 9 months, including how I’ve tended to feel about exercise videos/equipment, along with my newestLearn More
