Friday the 13th, A Sneaky Baby, and One Wild Ride

March 8, 2025November 30, 2020 by Vik

It all started on a fateful Friday the 13th—because of course it did. Mama Abigail had a routine ultrasound appointment at the Eastside Gynecologist in Macomb when the doctors noticed that baby’s heart rate dipped into the low 90s and stayed there for a few seconds. Concerned, they advised her to head straight to Beaumont Hospital in Grosse Pointe. Meanwhile, Daddy was waiting in the parking lot, probably scrolling on his phone, when he suddenly …

Closure to mario game

September 27, 2020September 27, 2020 by Vik

So as a kid growing up in India, I had my father’s 80486 computer with MSDOS 6.22 installed. In there I had many Shareware games installed that I had purchased from a local computer shop.

I’m in love with Gravenhurst. The cryptic lyrics and guitar creates an aura that is just amazing. Here’s another of their gems: she wore flowers in her hair and all the town would stare and all the young girls followed picking up the petals strewn everywhere and when the flowers died they saw through the disguise and all the townsfolk circled her with prayers and tar and feathers and fire there’s a dog loose in …

Hostname Pings Don’t Work Post Eero – How to make ’em work

March 8, 2025May 30, 2020 by Vik

Just got Eero to replace Google Onhub Routers. Quickly found out that Eero lacks a DNS server which means I cannot access any of my home servers using their hostnames. Also, all my home servers were not showing any hostnames in Eero App which was very weird. Ping from my macOS computer wasn’t registering Why do I need hostname access? I’ve management URLs and Shared drives that use hostname. I’m not going to use IP …
