  • So I was hacked, but I don’t know howSeptember 25, 2025
    Earlier this week, I got an email saying one of my social media accounts had an unusual login, but it was nearby, and sometimes that happens normally when my one tool uses a different server, etc. or a bot runs from another setup. Not necessarily “me” accessing, but things that I authorized to access showing … Continue reading →

And work has NOT been that quiet of late, lots of unusual extra work going on that my boss and staff have … Continue reading →
  • Day 3 of #Boucheron2025 in New OrleansSeptember 6, 2025
    My cold is proving more manageable with antihistamines kicking its ass temporarily, and it should keep me going until it’s time to go home on Sunday. If today is Friday, it must be day 3 of #Boucheron2025 in New Orleans! The ninth set of panels started at 9:00 a.m., and I was all set for … Continue reading →
