    I’ve had the username travnewmatic for a very long time. I think I first came up with it back when I was in high school, which was sometime in the mid-00’s (graduated in 2005). I like the name. It’s a portmanteau of my first and last name, with a little twist on the end. Its…

    So, after fumbling through the custom domain setup in Blogger, it finally works! I’m pretty sure I had it setup identically before as it is now, but for some reason that didn’t take.  I got rid of the custom domain just now, and added it back in again, remade the second CNAME entry in my…

    Pack up my stuff so I can move out next Saturday. Spend some time at workforce solutions looking for another job. Continue preparing for the technology applications test. Doable right? 😐 Yes! I work this afternoon. It’s a house shift, which is nice because that means I get to eat! It also means I get…

    So today I found myself strolling around Collin Creek Mall and had to stop at the local retro game shop GCX. I’ve been rediscovering how awesome my dreamcast is, so I wanted to see what they had for sale. Most of what they had was the usual crap, but they did have a few interesting…

    Came over to my parents place between shifts today. Talked with dad a lot about his ongoing amateur radio project. From what I understand, he’s leading a series of training sessions designed to teach amateur radio operators how to use digital communication between computers over the ham bands. More specifically, in an emergency situation, no…

    I thought I’d wrap up the night with a to-do list: 1) Migrate content from WordPress on the iMac to Blogger. 2) Get back on Code Year and learn CSS, among other things. 3) See about getting a more current study guide for the tech apps test. 4) Fill in holes in tech apps notes.…

    I’ve used Windows Live Writer in the past for some posts, and I just got it setup again in my Windows 7 installation.  This is more of a ‘Hello World!’ than anything else.  I think the blog might still need a little formatting.  I think the post titles, despite being in a much larger font,…
