First Night of ChanukahWhy do flight attendants always tell you the local time when you aren’t changing timezones….?
Listening to an Irish folk singer sing a Chanukah song written by a legendary American folk singer. Multiculturalism at it’s finest.
Decided to upgrade my network infrastructure. For the first time since the early days of my home network, I’m going to give using a full computer a try. I’ve ordered an inexpensive mini PC that has two ethernet ports, and am thinking of trying OpnSense.
I’m back from my vacation, where I spent a lot of time field-testing my venue code. As far as I can tell, it is working perfectly, but field-testing is what allows me to figure out the tweaks I need to make the experience better, so there will be some point releases over the coming weeks as I make the experience better. Here is an example of one of my venues…I tried to use some code to import old checkins at venues and create new local venues replacing ones I’d linked to remotely. However, it did create some duplication, so I will need to spend some time cleaning it up. Also, if I want to classify my venues and provide descriptions, I’ll need to add those.
I keep trying to sing four part harmony by myself.
Working on introducing venues to my site….URLs that represent a specific place, as opposed to location, which I already have at /location, which represents posts in a city or town. Hoping to have it done before I go places on the 8th.
Why don’t people wear hats outdoors anymore in large numbers? In the past, it was considered inappropriate to go bareheaded in some contexts.
When the most exciting thing in my evening is reading a 116 page notice of proposed rulemaking by the DOT, I wonder if my evening needs more excitement. It isn’t as exciting as the 500 page new Queens bus proposal, but…
Wondering what TV series you own or would want to own as opposed to stream?
Sitting in the parking lot at work eating lunch… someone is flying a kite for some reason.
Watching the New York Gilbert and Sullivan Players virtual gala of Pirates of Penzance. Enjoying the performance and the live chat with other enthusiasts from around the word and some of the company. Debating if YouTube’s transcript feature can handle a patter song.
Just finished another element of my backup upgrade. I have a NextCloud instance that syncs my active working files to my NAS box. Along with my other backup files stored there, they are backed up over the internet to two separate NAS boxes at the homes of various relations. Each NAS has redundant drives.
