At least in my circle of friends I'm a 'computer guy', although I claim no expertise. I've been a constant Linux user since around 2009 and have picked up a lot of tricks along the way to keep things running, which came in handy today when a new kernel update borked my graphics card temporarily.

I do get frustrated with myself because all of my ability rests on 'tricks learned' rather than step by step or crystalized knowledge. So much of what I do works and I have no idea why!

Cleaned the bathroom, put the laundry away and built the new pedestal fan (a Mitsubishi LV16AS-RC-P if you're interested). Small accomplishments but it feels good to get them out of the way.

@SeaFury Good old Pete.
@SeaFury Pets always want to help, and want to know what it is you're doing. They really concentrate sometimes, you can see the wheels turning as they try to work us out. "What have you got? Where did you get it? Is it something good? Will it make food?"
@vaporeon_ I had a drive with that capability years ago, and used it once on one of the blanks that came with it. Pretty cool but I never found a use for it.
