Movie Night

Posted on July 26, 2024 by larry

Asked my wife to watch Deadpool and Wolverine, we watch these movies early because it is something I wanted to watch without any Social Media spoilers.

Didn’t get my steps done but floors are. I should be able to get close though.

Getting an A in Mozilla Observatory

Posted on July 24, 2024 by larry

I been playing around with cloudflare, while doing so, I figured what I needed to do to get an A in mozilla observatory.

HTTP Header Security Test – HTTP Observatory | MDN (mozilla.org)

First time I got it, broke my site, I tried to do it on this blog and had to revert the changes.

I am exhausted right now. Just finished a straight 8000 step walk after a 30 minute swim.

Pushed hard today.

Firewall Still Dead

Posted on July 22, 2024 by larry

Still down, tried a new power supply, tested the RAM, removed the CMOS battery, I now contacted the manufacturer and posted on reddit to see if anyone else came across this.

To makes things worse my made main PC died probably because of memory issues.

And just a few hours ago another machine went down.

Wow.

LavenderFest 2024

Posted on July 20, 2024 by larry

This is not an annual thing but we did it three times (second time in Sequim)

We left our home at 7:30 and returned about 5:30, a huge chunk of time was travel.

But 7:30 departure time was right.

One HUGE issue for my future self, use the bathroom before you cross the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.

Another thing to note is to make sure I have an updated epipen. Lots of bee’s.

So first stop was the bathroom, right outside of sequim.

Then we went to the festival itself, bought some souvenirs. (sorry no pictures)

Afterwards went to get gas at the Costco, drove right in quickly. But on way out visited on of the few Radio Shacks left (not a corporate one). Saw some arduino kits.

One Of Last Radio Shacks?

Then before leaving the area for home, we went to the farm where we got our last lavender plant. Looks like they are closing. We will see if we can make the new white lavender we got from them this year work.

Unfortunately looks like they are going out of business. The people in there look older and looks like the are ready to retire. The for sale sign was up and noticed it as we drove off maybe for the last time.

Bad Day to be in IT

Posted on July 19, 2024 by larry

So there was some update for EDR software from a company called crowdstrike that messed with a bunch of Windows machines. This took down a lot of machines in the world. There are reports that this is one of the biggest outages in the history.

I was not too affected, #1 At work we dont use this software, #2 I am a Linux guy,

So I thought I was safe, well my firewall puked,

This one, https://www.apolonio.com/blog/?p=13159

Made it half a year.

Luckily I have contingency. Started up my VM backup and we are OK for now.

I actually weighed less, but forgot what it was. Here was the first weighin.

Relax The Week

Posted on July 18, 2024 by larry

Although my personal challenge was for 3 weeks, I completed the 4th week today of 3 swims.

Takes a huge amount of time in my day. My schedule is gonna give in.

I can relax the rest of the week though, just steps. Seems easy to achieve now.

Sunset is supposed to be at 8:59 today. Bummer. But I did get most of my steps done. According to my watch I have 81 steps left.
