Too Busy to Blog...

It's Been Awhile...

It has been A LONG TIME since the last post on my blog here at Blogger.

I have been really busy. Probably too busy.

In no particular order, here is a sample of what I have been working.

  • I have recently downloaded and installed Ubuntu Linux 22.10 onto my Dell laptop. All of a sudden, it seems important for me to learn how to use Linux. When I started my IT help desk job at SSA, I had installed Ubuntu 16 or 18 (I don't remember which version.) onto my laptop. Since we take phone calls exclusively on Windows, it seemed a good idea to put Linux to the side.
  • I am slowly reading the classic science fiction future history Last and First Men by British writer Olaf Stapleton.
  • I purchased and downloaded a copy of Pearson Vue's Network Simulator for use with studying for CCNA.
  • I also started a foreign language class on Rosetta Stone. I am planning on making a long overdue trip to my favorite city.
  • I'm planning on moving back to Arizona. There's no definite plans as of yet, but I need to start planning.
  • I am getting increasingly bored with my IT Tier 1 help desk job at SSA.
  • I started creating a Bullet Journal. It's been really difficult, but I am willing to try it.
  • I keep getting CRUSHED by my computer opponent when I play a game of Go. I am using a 19 x 19 grid board. It is a completely different game from using a 9 x 9 or 13 x 13 grid boards. I am using the computer program The Many Faces of Go.
  • I am slowly making my way through my watchlists on Tubi and Rakuten Viki. Since that I have discovered that I can watch Tencent's adaptation of the science fiction novel The Three Body Problem, has completely disrupted what I want to watch.

With all of that going on, I'm still trying to finish up my post about the Yellow Magic Orchestra. It has gotten out of control. What was supposed to be a short, informational post about the song "Seoul Music" has rapidly morphed into a rather complex undertaking.

Besides that post, I have a list of additional posts that I would like to write about that are clogging up the pipeline of posts.

Unfortunately, there are only so many hours in a day.

That's it for now. I will try to write another post soon.
