As I am going through the older posts on here (and the ones that are still listed as private) I am slowly but surely trying to fix problems with formatting, grammar, missing information, and photographs. Each time I update a post, WordPress sends an email out like it was a new post. I’m not sure…Read more
DNS Issues for the BBS
If you’ve tried to connect recently using bbs.shadowscope.com, apparently that has not been working at least for a couple of days. A mistake by my web hosting provider I would guess. As I have had my site here hosted with LivingDot for at least the last 15 years or so I just manage the DNS…Read more

Pixel Watch – Two Weeks On
So, I received the Pixel Watch back on October 13th and figured I would post an update on it. I got the non-LTE version as I already have five lines on my mobile and don’t currently feel like I need the added capability that it provides. I’m never anywhere without my phone, and (I am…Read more
New Pond Photos
Just some more recent photos of the pond. At some point soon I’ll mount a couple more of cameras from my security system and stream at least one of them on my weather station website. Nothing at the link currently, it’s just a placeholder.

I’ve deleted the offending links and corrected a couple of…Read more
Peak Design Universal Adapter
I recently ordered and received the Peak Design Universal Adapter and finally got the chance to try it out today. I actually received it for free as I have ordered a case from them, the Everyday Case for Pixel. Due to various problems the cases are still on back order. No big deal but Peak…Read more
Domains
I managed to register both shadowscope.net and shadowscope.us; Both should forward here (along with richiemiles.com, which I have owned for several years. the subdomains which redirect to my BBS that’s hosted here, should also forward correctly. You can now access the board through: bbs.shadowscope.com, bbs.shadowscope.net, bbs.shadowscope.us and shadowscope.noip.us I have also upgraded my weather station…Read more
DNS Issues fixed
Apparently my web provider decided to restore something from backup and when they did it messed up my domain forwarding that I set up in the zone editor. When I asked them to restore all they did was add a 301 forwarding rule, which pretty much does nothing unless you are accessing stuff with a…Read more
Site Updates
Seems like the only time I post at all the last couple of years is when I’ve updated the site. I’ve temporarily changed from the comic based theme here to retrogeek. Not sure if I like this or not but as most of my stuff the last couple of years has to do with the…Read more
