This is where I’m supposed to tell you what this blog is about, that compulsion to put words to the screen and then share them with whoever is willing to read. I would be glad to tell you…

But I still haven’t figured that out.

Instead, if you choose to follow this blog, you’re likely to find rants, raves, book reviews, thoughts on life, or even the quick aside to share what I’m eating. And what the hell is with all of these ravens? It’s a potpourri of hodgepodge. However I will promise that if I ever figure out what this blog is about, you’ll be the first to know.

I had intended to do another Halfway Through Book Review for Robin Hobb’s book, Dragon Keeper. I didn’t for two reasons. One, it took me so long to get through the book, I felt it would’ve taken too long to … Continue reading →

Infinite Update Loop

Just a quick update here.

For the last three months my laptop has been less than useful. I’ve had paper weights more functional. I had all but given up on it.

Just this week I’ve been able to upgrade the RAM. It’s working wonders. Harvey (my laptop) might not ever be the slick machine I bought over six years ago, but with this relatively cheap fix, he’s once again running.

Funny thing happens when you don’t use your computer for several months. Microsoft releases over a hundred updates. Seriously. The first time I powered up with the new hardware, I had 118 updates ready to be installed.

Now it’s two days later and I’m still getting updates. It seems like the most recent updates could only occur after the previous updates were installed. And don’t forget all the reboots in between. Here I am trying to get in my first real writing session in a long time, and I’m forced to reboot every fifteen minutes. It’s hard enough to hold a coherent thought long enough to type it out. Add in a Time Out every few minutes, and I’m ready to rip out my hair.

To end on something positive, I did get a free muffin and drink at my local Paradise Bakery. A no-cost writing trip is always a good one. It also looks like the updates are finally done. Not a single one during my little rant. Guess it’s time to get back to work.

Look for frequent updates from me as well. I have stuff and things to share.
