Meta: Up and Running 0

I mentioned earlier that we had a lighting strike that took out a computer, a printer, a KVM switch, a television, and two mini-boxes from the cable company.

I’ve got the replacement computer up and running with Debian 9 running the Plasma desktop. (The new television is up and running also.) As an aside, our cable company replaced the mini-boxes without a question. I must admit that I have some gripes with my cable company, but customer service is not one of them.

Debian with the KDE desktop

I had some truly oddball hardware issues with the computer when I first hooked it up and I have nothing but praise for ThinkPenguin’s support. When you want a new computer, think penguin.

This website does not track you.

It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.

Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.

I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.

Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).

I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.
