Evening running

[Wednesday: 3.2 miles; Saturday: 6.8; today: 3.2]

Last Wednesday I ran in the morning. Today I ran in the evening after dinner. I’m not sure if there will be much more weekday running in the morning this year.


We had a short power outage early Friday morning which brought the radio station server down. It was partly my own fault because I had forgotten to switch it to one of the UPS outlets.

We ended up off the air for most of Friday. I was able to get things going again about 8 pm.

I am slowly sorting out the issues. The main one appears to be that the GUI desktop is stealing my USB sound system when I plug it in. So I have to have some kind of sacrificial sound card that I can dedicate to the system sounds. I can’t find any way to turn them off.

I had tried a cheapie Amazon sourced PCIe sound card but it was making the system crash. So I’ve borrowed another USB sound device from my editing station and that is just there to keep the GUI/OS happy.

I could buy a used SoundBlaster card for $30 on ebay, but I don’t know if that would work or not.

We are on the new server though! And this week we start playing War and Peace which is a new addition to our library.
