Follow me as I start my laser engraving journey and build a business. To give you a little background about me, I have been a tech nerd since I was a little kid. I started learning basic programming in 1981 at 15 years old, My first computer was a Tandy MC-10 that I acquired at 17. I got my diploma in computer programming and systems analysis in 1991. Although I already had a little experience upg

rading my computers over the years, I didn’t build my first computer from parts until 1992. By 1996 I already had a few years experience doing tech work, trouble shooting, hardware upgrades, etc. In early 1996 I started my first computer sales, service and programming business. By 2003 I was part of 2 companies, one doing computer tech work, sales and custom programming, and the other doing web page design, hosting, graphics design, on-line programming, etc. In 2008 I got too ill to continue working, in 2012 I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder. I have recently been regaining much of my health using alternative medicine. As I am getting back into being able to really work with computers effectively I realized I no longer wanted to be a computer tech, but I have always been a good teacher, so I decided to create this page to teach others computer stuff. Since I got sick, I shifted from the PC world to the Apple Universe with no regrets. This is why my focus will be on Apple products and of course things related to social media. Update: April 7, 2021 - I have now built a custom Windows PC for myself so going forward I will also be adding Windows related content.

Making up a batch of ½ pound shellac for sealing slate coasters and wood engravings. I’ll be shaking it every few minutes all day.

By tomorrow it should be ready to use. Then more comparative testing on slate coasters and prep work.

When you download Resolve or Resolve Studio for Linux you will get an installer made for the Rocky Linux / CentOS / RHEL system described in the Resolve configuration guide. That is the only officially supported configuration.

Another step on my AI journey. I now have Stable Diffusion installed on my local Linux Mint system running CPU only. I have much to learn, but it’s all coming together. Yesterday I got OLLAMA 3.3 installed and running along with several other models.
