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.
Decided to do a run through the projects I maintain, mostly WordPress plugins, and see if I can do some bug fixes and tweaks before tackling something larger. It’s a bit late for spring cleaning, but…
Today I am once again taking lunch in Chez Hyundai…a Michelin rated establishment… at least the rear tires are.
Last week, I did a read through of the Queens Bus Redesign Proposal. Only 515 pages. It looks like there are some improvements, but still some issues. Now I’m watching YouTube commentators complain about how bad it is. These people didn’t clearly read closely before they recorded their takes.
Finished the NAS rebuild, took days of waiting, but this is only the first step. Going to do some cleanup, and testing, and upgrade the systems it backs up to using the drives next.
Tomorrow is World Backup Day, so I’m embarking on redoing my network attached storage and associated backup process. The long part is waiting and testing new hard drives. I have to, make another backup of the data locally, remove all the drives from the NAS, install the new SSD OS drive, and the bigger data drives, do a complete self test(which for a 10TB drive is about 16 hours). Then restore from the backup…test…if the restoration doesn’t work, remove the new drives and bring back the old 3TB drives and start all over again…I’ll be done by…sometime in April.
I’m off the coast of Cape Fear…. sounds more ominous than it is
