Just Keep Moving

A lot of things getting done, just need to keep moving.

Office back to a mess but not as bad, I have a server in here and am about to work on it. More posts in the near future regarding it.

I have an HP workstation as well, I do not think I need it for now.

Hired someone to clean the gutters and clean the roof. Hopefully the moss dies.

Unfortunately looks like I will not be able to flash my machine with the workstation, a waste of time.

Need to keep working at it.

Cleaning Office

Sometimes you just need to rearrange the office.

I moved some stuff around, rewired some things, and I feel like I have more space to move.

Hoping to flash some HBA Controller cards soon.

May even attempt to install ESXi 7 on an alternate box.

Also decided to make my new project official, got the web site www.hdhrweb.com and set up a github site.

So Much To Do

Been a bit scattered as of late, all these little things I need to do.

  • Got my historical paper on the HD Homeruns
  • Flashing the HBA’s I have
  • Getting the XEN cluster up
  • My HDHR Web Page
  • My homelab project

What broke my day was a problem at work, today is Sunday FYI.

So it kind of sucked.

Cold Weather Back

And rain, at least not smoky. But definitely cold, need to unhook AC now.

Weather is gonna be challenging, not sure how I can get my 12k steps even if I feel better.

Will have to figure it out.

Also dark too.

I slept in today, barely did anything, but I did make some great progress on my HDHR Web Interface.

Great XC Day

Son ran Cross Country today, last regular season run, and the took 1st place in their division.

Smoke was gone but it was a wet day.

Kind of sad that XC is ending.

Year Flying By

Smoke in the air, so bad I been having breathing problems.

Now it is getting dark, when the sun is not in the sky so much it would be hard getting my walks in.

I did get some steps and a bunch of floors at the airport.

But getting harder to get steps.

Local Video Scripts

I finally got hls.js working locally without having to go on the Internet.

So now, I can have a local video player without any Internet requirements.

This was pretty easy.

Also got my new HD Homerun. Got it installed, also noted that you cannot revert back firmware.

ESXi host Installed

My new ESXi host is in its production location.

Space is cleared up in my office now.

Still want to add another 64GB of RAM to this box, but the stats say I do not need it.

Going to work on preparing the other machine, so I will finally have two ESXi hosts with matching CPU and versions.

I may repurpose the old ESXi host as my new file server.

Yay New Firewall Up

Took a while, but new firewall is live. I don’t know how many firewalls I have been through

  • Linux Shorewall
  • Fortinet
  • Watchguard
  • DDWRT
  • pfSense

Was going to go opensense, but pfSense team got me.

Hopefully this holds

Saw my PT person today, she said to rest. I agree.

Another Buffett

Celebrated a relative’s birthday today. I avoided eating today, but I knew at night I was going to eat at a buffet.

Weight is going to be high tomorrow.

But today it is still under 320
