Cronicle task scheduler

March 22nd, 2020

My (not to be named) company does not allow running jobs through cron.  While I understand the reasons behind this, there are times when this restriction creates issues that are difficult to solve using the company approved enterprise task scheduler.  In order to get around this, I needed a reliable scheduler that I could use for those special cases without attracting attention (and being shut down).  Cronicle is a nice, web based scheduler that I found to fill that need.

Sun Tunnels

If/when I drywall the front garage, I will need to do something to channel the sunlights through the ceiling drywall.  My neighbor Chris sent me some links to sun tunnel hardware that may work.

How to Freeze Your Credit With Experian, Equifax and TransUnion

March 22nd, 2020

After having our car broken into, checkbook stolen and unauthorized checks written against our account, we decided it would be a good idea to lock down our credit accounts.  We chose to "freeze" our accounts as opposed to "lock"ing them.  Freezing and unfreezing the accounts is free, easy to do and in most cases can be handled online in a matter of minutes.  Locking accounts is free for some but requires monthly charges for others.
