The Jeff Kingdom

It's becoming mildly interesting to me that I'm having a hard time posting regularly on this site.

Okay, I'm done with Chrome. The insane memory usage is too much. I'm on a machine with 32gb of memory and if I leave the computer running with chrome open overnight it will consume all of it.

I'm moving to Firefox.

I'm using the line below to download videos from MIT Open Courseware as quickly as I can.

I love this video of a train ride. It's a great thing to have on in the background while you are doing something else.

Last night we watched the fireworks behind the Lowe's in Hanover, PA.

The best thing about Friday is that we get one every week.

I just removed the "Under Construction" notification from the front of this site. I just added the Blog Essays section of the site. That was the last piece of initial functionality that I wanted to make. I've still got some work to do—like on RSS feeds—but this is enough to take down that notice.

I just setup my new tent for the first time. It's a big boy.

The Acolyte episode 4 spent a long time building up to something and then ended the episode just as that something was going to happen.

I've been trying to go for a longish walk in the morning. This morning it really beat me up for some reason.

I picked up The Bob Newhart Show from the library yesterday. I figure for the price of free it was worth a shot.

I recently finished reading Old Man's War by John Scalzi. I liked it.

We've started planning a vacation for this summer. We are going to go camping instead of staying in a hotel. I'm super excited to not be grumpy about spending all that money on a hotel.

I just added the books section to this site!

I got a new to me computer yesterday!

This Git man page generator is hilarious: https://git-man-page-generator.lokaltog.net/

I'm wondering if I should add a GIF of the day section to my website.

I just added some basic navigation to my website!

This is my first microblog post on this site!
