It’s been a while…

While I would have liked to think I would have updated this “blog” a bit more often, i’m not really surprised I haven’t.
In the last 6 or so months since my last entry, I have added “Content” to the site.

I did recently get a 3D printer however, and I have been learning the basics of 3D Modelling. so that is something.

The plan is to rework my storage solutions, so I started with a basic 3D Model of a battery storage case.
Honestly it came out a lot better than I expected in quite a short amount of time spent modelling.

I hope to be able to keep designing and getting more and more intricate.

A Place for Everything

There is nothing more satisfying than having a neat and tidy work/living space. Everything you need is quickly in reach when you need it.
This also applies digitally, with everything organized into easy to follow layouts.

While i’m not going to get into said organization layout in this post. I’ll save that maybe for a digital declutter post.
What I did want to briefly write about was storage upgrades.

For years I would periodically add more digital storage by ways of buying new External Hard drives. This meant that after a number of years my files would be spread out over a bunch of different drives.

My Old Hard Drive Collection

As you can imagine this becomes highly impractical. Not only taking up physical space, but also keeping track of files across many drives.
I finally decided to invest in the largest drive I have ever owned. This way I can consolidate my data better and get rid of older drives that were probably on their way out.

The Replacement

After some looking at options, I decided on 12 TB. After merging all of the drives and getting rid of duplicate files, this so far is more then enough and should last me well into the future. I will be keeping some of the Older drives to use for things such as Backups.

Now that all the data is in one place, it’s just a matter of organizing it all to improve and increase workflow.

I’m sure this will take some time.

Beginnings

Everything starts somewhere. It might as well start with this basic first blog entry on a currently mostly empty website.

I’ve done a lot of these types of posts on various websites over the years, promising to keep it updated.
This is something that has generally always not been the case. I am a lot older now, but if anything that just means I have more responsibilities and less time. Maybe I have improved my time management, maybe not.

All I can say is that when I look at this website a few months or even years down the line. I hope that this was indeed a beginning for this site and not just an ending of another idea.

Due to the nature and design of this site, a lot of the work next is cataloging. Taking (literal in some cases) stock of goals and tasks that I want to complete. This also means that the layout of the page will probably also continue to be tweaked, as I experiment to find the best way to showcase the content I plan on adding.

But for now, this is indeed…something.
