Agony and More Agony – Home Server Setup

Scopique June 26, 2022

This past week, I have been trying to set up a home server. This whole thing started when I had been talking with my boss about the server he has in his home (Synology DS920+ specifically) and all of the cool things…

Dice Dice Baby

Scopique June 20, 2022

Because there are more projects that I haven’t gotten to than those which I have, last December I came across an Instagram add for silicone dice molds and thought, “that’s what I want to do with my free time!”. What I got…

Update on the Quest 2

Scopique February 23, 2022

It’s been a few weeks since I got the *ahem* Meta Quest 2 *ahem*, so here’s a bit of an update in long form about how it’s been going. Upgrading the Experience Out of the box, I didn’t have any real issues…

reMarkable 2 eInk Note Taking Tablet

Scopique November 3, 2021

My reMarkable 2 eInk tablet arrived whole 2 days early! Let’s take a look! The packaging is pretty much standard for tech these days. A lot of nice slip-cover wrappers, boxes with pull tabs, and everything sitting a convenient and snug little…

Grab Bag for October 28, 2021

Scopique October 28, 2021

New World As if this wasn’t a surprise, I think I’m done with New World. There comes a time in all games when the tutorial-ness of the situation wears off and all that stretches before me is the actual game. I really…

Note Taking With Technology

Scopique October 12, 2021

I’m one of those weird people who really like stationary: pens, pencils, notebooks, binders, the whole nine yards. When I was younger I used to do a lot of writing and because it was well before modern computing that meant I had…

Hey, HOSAS – Hands On Stick and Stick for Space Sims

Scopique January 31, 2021

I’ve been meting this out on Twitter, but I am at a point now where this subject deserves it’s own post. Last week — on my birthday, no less — my trusty Saitek/Logitech X-52Pro died. I had just reinstalled Elite Dangerous, as…

Surface Tension – The Search For A New Desk

Scopique January 4, 2021

Everything is cyclical, especially for me, and this time around I’m back to thinking about desks. I wanted to reference a previous post I made about building my own computer desk, but I honestly cannot find that post. I have a post…

Grab bag for…What day is it?

Scopique December 9, 2020

I don’t know why I ended up here. I had opened several browser windows and apparently this was one of them. Using my sensitive dowsing powers, I was drawn here for…some reason. I don’t think I have much to say, and only…

Wanting Everything I am Paying For – Xbox Series and Game Pass Ultimate

Scopique November 8, 2020

I hate to open this way, but I feel that I must establish a baseline by reiterating that I am “not a console person”. I say I am reticent to state this because I am tired of the constant “us versus them”…
