Obligatory Patreon plug!

Just my reminder: I have a Patreon for my SFF and horror fiction/gaming material, and 90% of it is going right back into the publishing stuff*. At this stage of the process, the more monthly income I have, the faster I can pay for editors and artists and cover art. Which means the more books I can do a year. That is the way things are.

So, tell your friends! Heck, tell your enemies if you think you can convince them to pony up. I ain’t proud.

Patreon!

*The other 10% goes to the St. Ann’s Center for Children, Youth, and Families; specifically, their Teen Mother-Baby Program.

OK, I’m doing something wrong with this DVD to monitor setup.

I’ve got a DVD player that uses the old red white yellow RCA connectors; and I have a monitor that takes a VGA connector.  It also takes HDMI, but that slot is being taken up by the Roku stick, so no love there and the DVD player doesn’t have a HDMI port anyway.  So, I picked up a male VGA to Female RCA plug, installed it, then plugged in the male to male RCA connectors from the DVD player, and got a no signal report from the VGA… actually, hold up.  I need to check the VGA plug. There may be bent pins.

…Nope, no bent pins.  Dagnabbit, it was always bent pins, back in the day. Fixing that was, like, the first computer hardware repair technique you learned. Anyway: thoughts?  The DVD player definitely has power running from it, and the cupholder opens and closes.
