After 37 hours of traveling time, we made it to our first stop in Cairns, Australia. Here are some video clips from our journey…

So who’s going to tell the pilot we’re going the wrong way? Wheels up at SFO…it’s going to be a long night.
We’re taking off! Thanks for all the support from family, friends, and the community!

So is the latest iPad OS 13 betas stable enough to install on a daily device? Really want to take advantage of some of the new Files features.
In this video, I get immunized for the trip to Papua New Guinea. Along the way I talk about the other team members from Michigan and around the U.S who are participating and how we’ll be staying healthy while traveling abroad.

This post is a little bit different… I’m heading off to Papua New Guinea in a few weeks on a mission trip. Here’s a video talking more about the trip.

At the Micro.blog meetup. Howdy everyone…
The base 2019 Mac Pro only has a 256GB SSD; pathetic for a $6k computer. However, the bottom of the specs page on Apple’s site mentions Pegasus MPX Modules. The Pegasus 2Ji gives you a couple of 3.5” drive slots, and the 4Ri will give you an internal 4 disk RAID 5!

BTW, if you’re wanting to install Catalina on your Mac with APFS but don’t have a second drive, open Disk Utility and add a second volume.  It will share the storage with your primary volume, while still giving you a clean “partition†to work with.

Just copied a 6GB file across the network in 8 seconds flat. 10GB Ethernet FTW.
In my latest video, I talk about the crop factor on Canon DSLRs while recording 4K video. It’s a hassle creatively, but there are good reasons they design the cameras this way.

So tired of Michigan weather. Out at the baseball field with a temperature of 53° and 28 mph gusts…in May. And this isn’t even the coldest game this season.
Perfect month, for the first time ever.
I recorded an unboxing video of the Pegasus2 M4. I came across this desktop RAID for a fraction of the retail cost and couldn’t resist. It’s a really cool tiny RAID.

I like this little one… #ssdraid
It’s been a couple of months since I’ve had a chance to create a video, but I just posted a review of the 2018 Mac mini:

So pissed off right now. Spent about an hour recording video with a Rode VideoMic Go, and the mic picked up a ton of static from the WiFi base station nearby. The video is now completely unusable.
I need a new mic that actually has a shielded cable so I can use it in a room with electronics.
15 years ago today I committed to starting Gaucho Software by registering gauchosoft.com. It’s hard to believe I’ve been doing this for so long. Still absolutely love being an Indie!
Picked up a couple of Cisco 48 port Layer 3 switches for $20 each today at the local university’s surplus sale. Hoping at least one of them works so I can use it for my main network switch (will still have 10Gb on a separate switch/VLAN).
After 8 hours, still less than a third of the way done building the RAID. Once this is finished, I’ll have over 100TB of raw storage in the rack.
