Feeling sorry for myself this evening. Point the first: While waiting for a build so we could debug a problem, a coworker and I ended up talking about Amazon, and how I worked there, and stock options. I worked out that, if I still

Shortly after President Rotting Pumpkin was sworn in, and all the protests were happening, I had an idea for a useful 'business': rental cellphones, pre-configured with your important contacts, to take with you to a protest so you could stay in touch but not

Uh... yeah. Two months since I last posted. Good job, self. Honestly, tho, what is there to report? The world went even more to shit than it wasI went full time at my jobI've been trying to get my home office organizedDocker is a

It's my 43rd birthday. Took the day off from work. Went to Leena's for breakfast. Got Antares back up and running. Played some video games. Five Guys for lunch. Din Tai Fung for dinner.

Not posting much because there's not much to say. We had a tiny NYE party. My contract has been extended, rather than me being converted to a real employee. I'm looking for something else, but it's not going well. It's been snowy. I slipped

So, my bed was delivered yesterday. It's very very nice. Didn't sleep as well as I could have, because new bed to get used to, plus new pillows and new sheets. But, didn't hurt when I got up, which is a relatively new experience.

So, before Black Friday I ordered a new bed. A 4" Purple hybrid with the motion base. It shipped surprisingly fast; the delivery company scheduled delivery yesterday between 3pm and 7pm. I was quite excited. Rushed to get everything moved out of my old

The new office is almost fully assembled. Got the desks both put back together yesterday. Today, moved the last of my stuff out of the old office. Tomorrow morning, we tear the bed down and move it over there, and tomorrow afternoon my new

Okay, so, yeah, I haven't posted in just over a month. Go me. Haven't felt there was much to post about. Eyes are recovering, but not as fast as I'd like, and household refactoring has been stalled waiting for electricians. Well, today we have

Eye surgery yesterday. Slept poorly. Spent today feeling like something was in my eye. Misery.

Saw Addams Family, Maleficent2, and Zombieland2

Made a decision about something. I think it's the right decision, but I'm not entirely happy about it. Need to follow up on a different but related thing from last week.

Still not god-emperor. Tomorrow I get my eyes measured for my cataract surgery.

Spent yesterday evening setting up a ZeroPi, named Gorgoneion, to replace Arcturus' cron functions. This morning I went to move it from my desk to the server rack, but it wouldn't boot after moving. Nor after moving it back. Nor when I put the

OMG such traffic bullshit.

Got another major thing deployed today. Looking forward to winning the lottery tonight. My shoulder hurts.

Big deploy yesterday. No problems. Not feeling well today.

Yesterday's electrician came back with a big half the size of the previous company. Smaller company, less overhead, less profit margin, I'm sure. Supposed to deploy a major change tomorrow. That should be exciting.

Another electrician to quote the work we need done. Back hurts. Work shenanigans. Feel slightly better about them after talking to an english/management translator. Gave up trying to run Plex Media Server on the Drobo. It just doesn't have the horsepower to cope.

Hung some art. Then the power went out. Went to a movie, and it came back. But the servers were all offline. Turned out Ubuntu doesn't distribute the realtek ethernet driver by default anymore. Had to plug a console into each machine and boot

Moving plex over to the Drobo this morning, then fixing some data problems in iTunes. Moved some furniture this evening.

Work frustrations are getting slowly better. Still a lot of stuff to get deployed, and a lot of waiting on people to review it so it can be.

Frustrations and irritations. Had electricians out. Going to cost about $13k for what I need to do. Which suuuuuucks. But it has to be done.
