I have a new fan!

Off

Someone’s been listening to my internet radio (someone from Santa Monica, or thereabouts). A grand total of 28 hours. I banned them only because I had to — they burnt out my ATX power supply (a crappy 200W job). Actually the power supply was fine, but the fan seized up on it, and I started to smell that burning electronica smell. So I replaced the old fan with a neat little 60mm Stealth Fan. Low power consumption, quiet, and moves quite a bit of air.
So, while I may have lost a fan, money has helped me get a new one.
I’m turning the radio back on again, but I’m going to keep an eye on the load average to make sure nothing’s going to catch fire again. I’m beginning to think I need a rack mount or something with redundant power supplies. My dreams of having a tiny little webserver are fading away (sniff).

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
