How do you guys find time for all this? I used to have a couple of racks of boxes in the basement, then I got married, 
had three kids and started a Theology PhD program.. Now anything I do at home is purely practical.

I took on some ideas for backup though, so I am sorting out a backblaze account and using Randy's fantastic sync thing 
that he mentioned. I really do not want 18 months of research to vanish.
