I guess people still read this, although it's amusing to think that I must have a knack for technical writing.
What I mean is that I've had this blog since at least 2009, and while I am doing one original post on Wednesday Mornings (Eastern) and two Joke posts on the weekend, it's these posts that I wrote while doing something "involved" with tech.
I mean tech broadly, because I could get all wordy about plastering or caulking, and without caulking you will ruin your walls.
Walls are important.
Over the last month, I have gotten quite a few reads on this blog, and while my own needs are stable at the moment, when I do need to figure something out, I put it here.
So here are the top ten for my blog, worldwide, for the last 30 days. The first five get hit every single day.
1) How to get Tap To Click back on Debian 10. I use Linux exclusively. You should too. My laptop is from 2014 and the thing is faster than most. If it were using windows like it came with, it would be crawling and full of "cruft" on Windows 8. But with Debian, it flys! The reality is that under Debian Linux, a 12 year old Core 2 Duo laptop with 4GB of memory is fast enough for most home use. I do video and audio editing, and more on my 6 year old laptop.
2) Installing a Backing Rod. I will be doing this again. I'm in the middle of plastering cracks in the bathroom, and once I'm through, I will start caulking the crack between the wall and the tub.
3) Tips for Syringe Feeding Your Dog With Chronic Renal Failure. When a dog is ready to go, they will tell you. Lettie did. We think we kept her alive an extra year doing this. She finally simply stopped me from doing this any further when she was ready. She put her paw on my hand when I sat down with the syringe and looked deeply into my eyes.
This was the all time article I have written, with over 6100 reads.
4) Gold Medal Flour - Extraordinary Buttermilk Biscuits Recipe. I put this recipe up because I kept losing it. A really good biscuit (shortbread, not a sweet treat for my British Friends).
5) Ruined Your Cream Cheese In The Freezer - Here's Your Fix. Cream Cheese does not like to be frozen but it can be brought back to life if you slipped up. I'll have mine with some Nova Lox and a good Toasted Sesame Bagel as my Jewish friends taught me to enjoy, but that takes a long drive for me.
6) The Broken Poang Story or You Want To Drive Across The County For a Bolt?. As tall as I am, these chairs fit my frame perfectly. I'm writing this seated in a Poang Rocker that I was given for my last birthday. Thanks!
7) Propagating Ruellia, The Mexican Petunia. Real Easy, and if you have a warm climate, you can do this.
8) Mango Jam Recipe, Fresh From the Bread Machine. Mango Jam is amazing, truly easy to make, and if you can home can, you'll have it all year.
9) Pat's Pizza Dough Recipe. When my sister got married, she was given a bread baking recipe book. I hand wrote this onto a small square of paper and still have that. It is a good recipe, I use it frequently, and it's best if you make it after dinner and slow rise it in the fridge overnight.
10) I Hate Apple, or Reclaiming Local Access to Pictures in iOS 14. So the deal is that I take a lot of pictures with my phone. I use the phone like a computer and not like a little tiny etch-a-sketch like most do. If I can't plug it into my Linux computer, and get the pictures off easily, it is worthless to me. This gave me basic access to the pictures. I still don't like living in Steve Jobs' walled garden and would vastly prefer an unlocked and rooted Android Phone. But for now...
So that would be it. I will continue writing regularly as long as I have something to say. I think there are some things I need to do that are long enough to be worthy of repeating here, I'm not fond of saying things that are just a lot of hot air.
