Forgot My Watch

Went to work late and to make things worse, I forgot my watch.

I am posting this at about 8:06PM and my watch has 0 floors and less than 200 steps.

Bottom line a got a LONG, nearly 10k step way to go and I got less than 4 hours to do it. Pretty sure I can.

I am predicting I should be back home in time to edit this post, but posting early just in case. I am going to walk concourse A to D and see how many steps those are. If they are not enough, I am doing a normal loop around from my work area to light rail to car.

Update: Made it on time, it was 5k steps to start from the S entrance near A and all the way through A B C and D.

XCA Updates

I really like XCA, it has been updating a lot recently. Nice active updates.

But from version 2.5 and on the mysql drivers were not included for the one the recently came out 2.8 it used qsqlmysql.dll_Qt_SQL_driver_6.8.0_MinGW_13.1_64-bit.zip.

At work I can see the end of the tunnel, I think we gonna return to hybrid work soon. Took my small rig home.

Garage Door Sensor

Got a new Zygbee sensor

It sends a message via Zigbee to Home Assistant and in turn homeassistent sends an MQTT message.

Been a long day, kind of quit early, needed it.

Deciding on PI Trip

Too much going on at home, things keep piling on me. Feel like I am ready to break.

There is not much to say today, but I feel like things are going backwards.

Too Tired To Clean

Was hoping to get some time this evening to clean my office, did not have that time.

Keep thinking there would be time at night after work, but that time is not there.

Going to work late does not help either.

Seeing if going to bed at 11PM will help.

Got Stuff Done

This weekend I had a few goals, all of them were started at least, and better yet most of were completed.

Getting my steps in really taxes me. Almost the end of the year, so I can switch out my goals. Should be more swimming and dieting.

Got Sleep Late Start

Went to bed at a decent time, I think 12 or 1AM, woke up at 11AM, so about 10 hours of sleep which is a lot for me. Unfortunately I did not get the a start early enough to get things done.

Got things happening at night, going to be close getting steps in. I am going to find a way so will mark it as done.

Also got some bad news, found out step father died today. He is in the Philippines, not sure what will happen. If I go, or my mom goes.

Friday Here Needed It

No football this weekend, so I am going to chill.

I am really tired, I have a to do list but am too tired.

I will start on it tomorrow.

I did figure out how to restore my primary domain controller on to a VM. Needed an equivalent NVME disk.

Repairs After Power Outage

Bunch of actions still need to done after the power outage. So far

  • Purchased a phone power bank
  • Another portable lantern
  • Another UPS
  • A special battery pack for my CPAP
  • Power strips that can protect electronics
  • Replaced one damaged switch
  • Started DR planning
  • Updated Startup Docs

Still want to go physical on a bunch of things, and there are still two more devices that are offline.

Domain Controller DR

I figured out how to backup and restore my domain controllers. So I know have processes to backup and restore all my critical services.

I have been backing it up in the past with snapshots.

I am thinking to try and restore it in a lab. I know I can restore my VM domain controllers, hoping I can restore my single physical DC as a VM.
