Description

Happy World Backup Day! In this tech-heavy episode, I describe how I set up my web server for easy backup of content and configuration files. I celebrate the recent release of the QGIS 4.0 mapping software. Finally I hint at the revival of my efforts to apply for the Pennsylvania Ancestors Lineage Society. It may be a little much for the casual genealogist, but it's the most important this I did this month. Enjoy it as much as you can!
