Hello, and welcome to my gemlog!
Hi, I'm jbehnke747 and I live in Wisconsin, USA. I am 41 years old
and new to this part of the Internet. I have a wife and two sons:
the oldest is 12 and the other is 6. We also have a dog named Mazie,
who is a lab and border collie mix, and a cat named Gracie.
I was a Windows fan from the time I first learned how to use a
computer in the late 1990's but have recently entered the Linux
world and plan to stay here. I recently discovered Gopherspace and
now Gemini from Distrotube on YouTube and wanted to make somewhat
of a home in this part of the Internet, as I find it to be very
interesting and fresh.
I am making this post using the Lagrange Gemini client (Flatpak)
in PeppermintOS (a Debian-based Linux distribution) on a 12-year-old
Toshiba Satellite L655 laptop that originally shipped with Windows 7.
I inherited this computer from my parents, who upgraded to an iPad a
year or so ago. I have a modern laptop, but it is quite small because
it is of the 2-in-1 convertible laptop and tablet design, so
sometimes I prefer to use this older computer for general computing.
It was almost unusable when I got it from my parents because it
couldn't handle Windows 7 anymore due to the bloated size of the
operating system after about 11 years of updates. I have been able to
squeeze some more life out of it by installing PeppermintOS on it,
as it is very a very light-weight operating system so it runs well
on older machines. I plan to upgrade the RAM to 8GB sometime soon,
which should further improve the performance of the machine. If I
remember correctly it has 3 GB of RAM now, which is the original,
factory stock size.
What will I write about here in the future? Perhaps a little about my
Christian faith? My family and I believe that Jesus is the son of God
and that he was crucified, buried, and rose from the grave 3 days
later. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God, as
it is written in the Bible. I won't attempt to shove God down your
throat because I don't believe that is an effective approach to
helping save people's souls. I do, however, hope that you might keep
an open mind to my belief that God is real and that Jesus loves you
and wants you to know Him. I might also write about my home, which is
a small, 3-bedroom house, but has some historical value to it because
it was built in or around 1865 by members of a family who migrated
west from Portland, Maine.
Thank you for reading my first gemlog post. This has been fun, and I
hope you will stop by again!
