Stressful Seahawks Win

Posted on October 4, 2026 by larry

Watched the Seahawks today, was not an easy affair that it was built to be. We almost lost.

I was supposed to work on my WLED house lights but was too busy.

Reviving Minecraft Servers as Containers

Posted on October 3, 2026 by larry

More of a learning thing rather a functional thing, but I am trying to revive the old minecraft servers I had running.

Couple challenges, I want them to be containers, another is I want to be able to manage them and back them up. Another is to have them auto start.

Also I want to be able to build from scratch. Kind of fun.

Decent Accomplishment Day

Posted on October 2, 2026 by larry

At first I thought there was not much did today, upon reflection, I did a lot.

In addition to my normal finance Friday I got my servers patched, did my normal work schedule furthermore I was on call.

But to top it off I was on the treadmill today and pushed again, trying to get myself to the next level.

It left me with a decent endorphin rush.

Already October

Posted on October 1, 2026 by larry

Wow, only 3 months left in the year, boy did time fly.

Got a LOT of things left to do in the year. This morning had a review for my work tasks, but I am ok there.

At home though, there are a lot of things, no where near finishing my display stuff.

Place needs some cleaning for sure.

It is what it is.

Worn Down Wednesday

Posted on September 30, 2026 by larry

Wait that was supposed to be work out Wednesday.

Those 1 hour treadmill runs then a 1 mile walk is brutal.

I can feel my body still heated up from all the energy.

Going to bed now.

One Week In With Dog

Posted on September 29, 2026 by larry

He has a name, Chewy, but we may change it, but it has been fun, I want to keep him.

Forgot what a time sync it is to manage a dog, but overall he has been fun.

Want to hang out with him more, but I been busy myself. Maybe I can commit some time tomorrow and clean up my office so he can hang with me.

Struggling in the Gym

Posted on September 28, 2026 by larry

Just a bit, but still pushing it a bit on the weights, on the treadmill though I feel struggling with my new base of running which is 3.6MPH and 2.0 grade.

I was a bit tired, so maybe I just need some sleep.

On a tech note, I have the had problems with a netgear GS308V4. The VLAN setup confuses me, I did a simple port based VLAN and it worked.

Also was able to do a split display on my HUB75, top line is the time and bottom line is a message.

Need To Sleep Early

Posted on September 27, 2026 by larry

Getting a bad habit of sleeping late again, I need to fix that.

Woke up groggy, didn’t want to do anything.

Maybe if the Seahawks didn’t lose today I would feel better.

Paying Off Sleep Debt

Posted on September 26, 2026 by larry

For the most part today I did nothing. I needed sleep badly and I got it.

I notice I keep taking multiple naps, that is not good.

So today is part 1 of trying to adjust my sleep back to normal.

State Fair 2026

Posted on September 25, 2026 by larry

Today was a busy day, got home late, like 5AM, I did my finance Friday then fed the dog and went to bed. Got up at about noon and we went to work out around 2PM.

After that we went to the State Fair for out annual visit.

It was nice because it was low volume. I asked someone selling scones if it was this slow, and they said it was like that the whole season.

I thought it may have been the weird weather in the morning, or the fact it was technically a weekday. But it was refreshing not waiting in lines and being able to find parking or a chair.

So mental note next year, go on a Friday afternoon.

Also would like to note some frustration with something else, I was delayed going to the fair because two servers went down at the same time. I think it was due to a power glitch. Pretty frustrating. Purchased a new UPS not just new batteries.

Had to post date me workouts.
