Vacation!

I’ll be out of town for the next three days. Unfortunately the BBS has been getting hammered 24/7 by asian hackers for the last month. Nothing that’s an issue other than bandwidth but it is causing my machine to overheat and shut down every couple of days. If you can’t login, or deliver Fido mail…Read more

I mentioned down below (back in March) that I thought the comments were fixed. Apparently not. Someone contacted me about not being able to post a comment a few days ago and I have been troubleshooting it all week.

Considering I had 17 years of…Read more

Nexus 6 Partition Bug

So I ran across something today that I hadn’t seen before on my 64gb Nexus 6. When I upgraded to Marshmallow it was only recognizing 32gb of space (basically showing me 23gb free).   A quick search on Google turned up the following tidbit of information:   If you have TWRP installed, or if you…Read more
