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 … Continue reading Noodlings 10 | Christmastime, xLights, Exploring Media Servers and Computer History

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 … Continue reading Things are Looking Pod-tastic | Fall Time Blathering
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 … Continue reading Noodlings 6 | Symphony, Power Tools and Storage
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 … Continue reading Noodlings 2 | Desktops and Window Managers, BDLL and openSUSE News
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 … Continue reading Outside the Cubicle | Gladiator Geartrack Gardening Pack
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. … Continue reading Outside the Cubicle | Sledgehammer Repair, Handle Replacement
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 … Continue reading KDE Plasma 5.15.0 on openSUSE Tumbleweed
Just a Christmas Day Blathering | Linux Makes it Better
Christmastime is my favorite time of the year but I am not so much a fan of the cold and the darkness. Regardless, I love all that Christmas is supposed to be about along with some of the trappings of the pop culture effect on Christmas. Growing up, much of the Christmas time celebration with family didn't … Continue reading Just a Christmas Day Blathering | Linux Makes it Better
Ceiling Fan Failure | Repair Instead of Replace
Not long ago, I had a ceiling fan stop spinning and start making an ever so slight buzzing noise. I thought maybe it was as a result of switching the rotation direction of the fan. Switching it back didn't change anything either. I just shut off the fan motor to end the buzzing and pondered … Continue reading Ceiling Fan Failure | Repair Instead of Replace
The End of Google Plus — Just Another Blathering
It never gained as much popularity as some other social media platforms but I liked Google Plus. It was (is) a social media platform whose users seemed to focus on positive things, projects and so forth. It lacked the kind of cruft that keeps me from spending much time on other social media platforms. My primary … Continue reading The End of Google Plus — Just Another Blathering
