Started on a few notes.

Posted on October 21, 2023 by larry

Back to lab work. Now that things are slowing down a bit.

Holidays are coming up and I hope to get something for 2024.

Anyway looks like I am getting a nice chunk done.

Smells great.

Closing Out XC Season

Posted on October 20, 2023 by larry

Team almost didn’t qualify for districts, but they did so there is 1 more race.

Still I had a talk with my son, looks like he made peace that he was not going to State.

But I am proud of him.

This also ends my involvment in XC until I have grand kids that run XC.

2 minutes too late

Posted on October 19, 2023 by larry

Today was an example of bad timing. I went to bed relatively early last night, but our dog is sick and woke us up. I helped him out but I lost some sleep which caused me to wake up late.

So I had a Dr appointment at 9AM and I left slightly after 8AM but traffic had me getting there at 9:05, within the time.

But google maps had me at the wrong location, so I was actually two minutes late.

This was a fine example of little things adding up to big things.

Anyway, I knew if I did not get this appointment things would have been severely shifted with my Dr appointment.

So I asked, and I waited, and waited.

I finally got in, Dr was kind enough to get me in during his lunch. But got in I did.

Trying Out NTFY

Posted on October 18, 2023 by larry

Giving a program called ntfy (short for notify) a try. It is a simple web server that allows for push notifications.

It works in conjunction with an app on a mobile device. So I can keep appraised of stuff going on.

Also looked into linode and cloudflare a bit.

Another Biopsy

Posted on October 17, 2023 by larry

Doctors took some more flesh from me today. I thought I could return to work but it just hurt too much.

Went to bed to try and escape the pain.

Network seems stable, all patched, need to audit make sure that is the case.

Purchased youtube premium, that is that path of least resistance. Wanted to be able to listen to you tube while I walked anyway.

Not looking forward to tomorrow.

Easier To Manage

Posted on October 16, 2023 by larry

Now that I have most of my Linux servers at Rocky 9, it will make it easier to patch.

I am going to give it a try, I think if I schedule it right I can patch weekly.

Going to give it a shot tonight.

Upgraded IoT Server

Posted on October 15, 2023 by larry

Upgraded the second to the last server on my list of machines to be upgraded.

The huge issue was that it had some custom python scripts.

I got it working and it is done.

Going to look at working on cloud machines now.

Posted on October 14, 2023 by larry

Tomorrow is going to be a big one, I am cutting over one of my IOT servers from stage to production.

Kind of late and don’t want to do it now, but it is ready.

Pretty sure things will break too.

Going to be a long day.
