Rickroll in the Terminal
This is a mostly useless blathering but since I got a good laugh out of it, I wanted to index this bit of fun and share it because that is what you do, right? Share nonsense on the Internet? Isn’t that why they invented the thing? I was watching “Adrian’s Digital Basement” on YouTube and…

CubicleNate now on LBRY | Blathering
For the half dozen or so of people that might manage to care, I have decided to start synchronizing my piddly YouTube content over to LBRY. I’d say this is nothing against YouTube but actually, it is. Although I will still use and enjoy YouTube, many of their decisions have shaken my confidence in their…

Linux in the Kitchen | Life Enhancement Blathering
There are so many ways Linux can be used. Most commonly, we see it used to run the Internet in servers and cloud thingies and such. If you are a desktop user, you might use it for office tasks in your home or work, maybe you are a content creator and you do video or…

Noodlings 10 | Christmastime, xLights, Exploring Media Servers and Computer History
To squeeze one more blathering in before the end of the year, here are a few things I am noodling around currently. The 10th Noodling arriving, not because anyone asked for it… Christmastime Activities Post Christmas Day shopping yielded me a really nice find, specifically something pretty fantastic from Lowe’s that allows me to fix…

Things are Looking Pod-tastic | Fall Time Blathering
When I first started to put fingers to keyboard with this “CubicleNate.com” thing, I didn’t ever envision it become much of anything. Just a little tool to help keep my notes somewhat organized and hope that I could provide some kind of resource to someone at some point. In late 2018, I joined the Big…

Noodlings 6 | Symphony, Power Tools and Storage
My 6th noodling might be my longest noodling yet. It started out a bit light but then after reading I just got a bit too excited. If you want to skip to the end where I do a little self-deprecation and ignore the meat of it, that is very understandable. The 6th Noodling can be…

Noodlings 2 | Desktops and Window Managers, BDLL and openSUSE News
Another podcast and after listening to the final thing… I sound a bit like cardboard. Maybe episode 3 won’t smell like wet newspaper. Listen here, it’s only 10 minutes and 30 seconds of cringe-worthy material. Desktops and Window Managers I view KDE Plasma as the pinnacle of all things that are the Desktop and portal…

Outside the Cubicle | Gladiator Geartrack Gardening Pack
In my quest to remove inefficiency in my life and make activities more functional, I purchased this Gladiator Geartrack Gardening Pack by Whirlpool Corporation. I want to make it understood that I do work for Whirlpool and they in no way sponsor, support or endorse any of this. I was given an opportunity to get…

Outside the Cubicle | Sledgehammer Repair, Handle Replacement
Last fall (2018) I broke my “new” sledge hammer. I had maybe gotten all of 3 months of use out of it and snapped the wooden handle right below the business end. After much consternation, I picked up a fiberglass handle instead of a wooden one mostly due to the feel and finish of the handle.…

KDE Plasma 5.15.0 on openSUSE Tumbleweed
There has been quite a lot of buzz in the news about the first stable release of Plasma in 2019, version 5.15.0, released on 12 February 2019. It came to openSUSE Tumbleweed a few days later and a few days after that, I started updating my various systems running Tumbleweed. I am not going to…
