Walking Again

After a two week break, I am walking again.

Last time I walked this much was 15 days ago.

Anyway I am still at work as I post, based on how things are proceeding I should be out of here by 10PM.

I need two floor and 413 steps. I will do that walking back to my car.

There are a lot of VMs, I really should reduce the count.

Really Progressing But Will Slow Down

I got a lot of stuff done, got grafana going, got the prime server in the lab going, and room is clean.

But tomorrow I am going to start walking again to get my workout groove back.

I am feeling better, hoping to sleep well tonight.

Upgrading Demo Lab Too

Upgrading the demo lab to Rocky 9. Looks like I am hanging my hat on that distro for training.

I need to get the lab up, then I can start documenting my presentations.

I figured out most of the kickstart, need to refine it a bit.

Easter 2023

A little excitement at the end of the day, power went out while I was out.

Doing a quick post so I can get this done.

But mail doesn’t seem to be right.

It doesn’t seem to be routing properly.

Looks like I won’t be getting to bed early tonight.

Right Knee A Problem

It was my left knee, now it is my right knee.

I am getting a feel of life with good knees.

I can do stuff which is great.

On the tech side, I am starting to upgrade my machines to Rocky 9 machines.

Good Friday 2023

Made it through another Lent, unfortunately one of my secondary commitments, giving up cookies didn’t happen. But my primary one giving up hamburgers I did.

Cortisone Kicking In Wow, my knee feels great, life is better, and I am able to do stuff.

I actually cleaned my office, it looks way better.

The rest, the shot, and the free time all helped.

I will wait another day or two before I start again. Need the rest.

Pulled The Trigger on Rocky 9

I finally put my core monitoring server on Rocky 9.

Going to proceed with more in the near future. But this was a big one.

Really important server.

Another thing I figured out was how to import and upgrade the old media wiki server.

Cortisone Shot

Got my first cortisone shot today, was thinking today was the last day of rest, but the shot will not take effect till this weekend.

So another day or two of rest.

Found out why I have not been sleeping right, been drinking caffeinated ice tea. Hopefully I will sleep better tonight.

Found a M.2 256GB drive, so I think I will upgrade my infrastructure server sooner than later.

Perfection is the Enemy of Progress

I need to move on my upgrades. I pulled out the new replacement for my core home server and started planning the build process.

Waiting on the new hard drive, when it comes in I am going to upgrade the server to production.

Need to stop thinking and start doing.
