Good Advice
This is from my web hosting company. I was with another hosting company for about 10 years before I needed to switch away from them. I found Dreamhost and never looked back. This company is amazing.
Nope. Not getting paid to say that. They are wonderful.
Tracking the Spread of Covid-19
This is a great way to get a feel for how your state is doing. Obviously, we’d prefer to see a continuous cycle of a number below 1.0 which indicates the spread is slowing.
You can see how this is calculated here.

iPad Appreciation
I usually manage this website using my laptop or my iMac. I needed to change the current book I am reading and thought it would be a good time to test the ability of the iPad Pro I use. It is not the latest one but it still packs a good punch when it comes to getting work done.
I am not using the traditional style keyboard to write this post. Just the touch screen keyboard. To properly post a new book, I need to grab some artwork for the book, load that via FTP to my website, and then add the book details to the plugin I use. This was all easily accomplished by just using my iPad.
Sometimes I forget just what a wondrous device this truly can be. Even the spell checking works really well and substitutes words effortlessly. My iPad Pro is a machine I use mostly for playing Idle Champions of the Forgotten Realms but it is capable of so much more. You could draw pictures. You could, maybe. I cannot. I have the pencil but not the required skills to really draw anything. That is ok. I think I do much better at writing.
COVID-19 Thoughts
This is unlike any outbreak I’ve experienced in my lifetime. Movie studios, entire towns, and businesses are shutting down. Supplies in local stores are running low as people freak out. Unless you are a “prepper”, of course and you’ve always seen something like this coming.
The business I am in is shipping and order fulfillment. People that can work from home will still be able to be paid and will continue to order things online. Unfortunately, there will be other people who are not so lucky. Their jobs could be at risk because they are unable to work from home.
This can only get worse as time goes on.

It’s February!
And you know what that means…
…it is no longer JANUARY. That month was like driving through Virginia.
