An lingering dream of mine 

An old life goal of mine: explore the country in a decent camper. Not a monstrous RV, rather, a modestly sized one. Perhaps a custom van, though one with a bathroom feels nice. My first version: a camper shell on a pickup truck. 
Sleeping close, up against nature, the world’s beauty elicits powerful feelings. All my fear proximal and organized: glorious! Driving up to my desired place, parking, leaping out, exploring without pitching a tent an unpacking? Delightful! 

Though the notion yet lingers amidst the darkness of my subconscious, I’ve hardly acted upon it.  I’ve owned a few vans and pickup trucks, not one outfitted for camping. No campers installed. No sinks or cook tops. No great motivation, I guess. Yet, up it pops, from time-to-time.

The New Spiderman Homecoming Trailer

A friend of mine shared the newest trailer for Spiderman: Homecoming with me. For which I’m grateful! I’d seen the teaser, but missed the full trailer rolling out.

I like the way they’re presenting good ol’ Spidey in this. They look to be doing a good job of capturing the smart-ass quipping that marks the character, along with the aloof loneliness that languishes with Peter, too. All in all, a pretty good feeling comes to me from the latest trailer. Which, of course, is the role of such things.

So, you excited? Sitting it out in yawnsville?

A Random WiFi Issue I Fixed Yesterday

A Windows 10 laptop in my office had a fascinating connection issue. It connected to our network just fine,  but showed an error: “WiFi doesn’t have a valid IP configuration”.  Now, the other machines in my office were connecting fine. So, I knew it was this specific PC.

With that, I then noticed it had the same issue with the other local WiFi networks. Forgetting the network and reentering the password didn’t do diddly. Finally,  I looked up this article at Microsoft, and started working through it. About two minutes in,  I noticed a Web page load. Internet connectivity had been restored. Oddly,I can’t tell you what I did that accomplished it. I guess some random background process finished up and released a file. Basic guess, though.

Have you seen anything like this before?
