RAID-iate

Well, the RAID box I had for seven years finally gave up the ghost.  I had a second box I’d bought a while ago, but didn’t have any drives for it.

So, when the first one said goodbye, I pulled the drives from that and put them in the new box.  Two big issues:  the drives were NOT the recommended kind, and the unit might have been damaged when, a year or so ago, my air-conditioning unit leaked water into the closet.  Anything cardboard ended up being soaked into rottenness.

But the unit powered up, it saw the drives, and I recreated the array.  Tried to copy stuff to it, and it started alarming…so I guess I’ll wait until I can afford those drives.  In the meantime, I have an 8T external which I’ll use.

Work on the new project is going pretty well, but every step forward requires a few side steps, so it’ll show up eventually.

Thanks for visiting!

Mid-July 2019 Post

Well!  How is everyone today.  There’ve been some new developments in the world of projects and other works.  I did start another painting, but it’s not going quickly.  Here’s a WIP, colors are way off but, you know, WIP.  As you can see, it’s the same old stuff.

(Remember when I did the PaintBlogs?  I should really try another one of those, but I just don’t pick up the brush that often.)

The animation project mentioned last month is still proceeding, with more sequences done and artwork created.  There’s a Vegas project going that already has the opening pretty well mapped-out, but that’s still evolving (sigh).

I heard of a fun contest which I’m going to enter.  I’d show you the latest stage, but as it’s a contest I’m not sure I can.  No hope of winning, but it’s fun to work on.

Also, the air-conditioning has been fixed, so I shouldn’t have to suffer either temperature-wise or financially.  Always a plus!

So, keeping busy and trying to keep comfortable.  And I won’t bother you with the health worries.  Thanks for stopping by, and I may see you later this month.
