On February 11 Rhode Island Red came for a visit and we recorded four songs.

I've been playing with Jim Chapin AKA Rhode Island Red at The Biscuit for years. He wrote this lyric.

We're Hairy Larry and Rhode Island Red
And we're gonna play, until we're dead.
We ain't dead yet. No no. We ain't dead yet.

I wrote about it on Hairy Larry Rocks.

Everyone who plays RPGs knows that the ultimate RPG experience is a weekly campaign. I must be living right because I'm in a Thursday night game and a Sunday afternoon game. Both range in age from kids in school to me. I've got to tell you, that keeps you young.

Library Game Day this month is postponed to Saturday, March 22. It's from Noon until 4:00 at the Jonesboro Public Library. The next weekend is our Spring Break Family Weekend which means Family Game! I can't wait.

I've been working on a hardware and software archival project for indie producers who have digital content they really don't want to lose. I call it Libre Indie Archive and I've been talking about it on my podcast at Hacker Public Radio.

What Is The Indie Archive?

Maintaining The Remote System
https://hackerpublicradio.org/eps/hpr4329/index.html

I posted this at gamerplus.org yesterday.

I now have all the functionality in place including File Integrity checks, email notification, and shell availability on the remote systems.

I am updating documentation and editing the scripts, regularizing them and fixing comments. I am writing install checklists for each system, primary, secondary, and remote.

My son is going to help me do a security audit.

I am planning on posting to Codeberg this month.
