Visio And Web Pages

I knew this, but man I finally put it into practice.

Visio can create web pages of its drawings.

So I am now documenting my network, and creating web pages and linking objects to resources.

It makes things look pretty cool and more functional.

OK weight is high, but this not my AM weigh in, it was in the evening.

Another Biopsy

Didn’t mention it, kept it on the down low, but I had another biopsy, this time on my back.

I actually needed a driver to take me home.

When I got home I was so tired.

Gonna relax the rest of the night.

Setting Up SSL Presentation

Setting up the lab to do a presentation on SSL.

Just an opportunity to clean up one of my labs.

Did learn a few things though, figured out how to enable SSL in tomcat

For my future self

<Connector port="8443" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
		   maxThreads="150" SSLEnabled="true"
		   maxParameterCount="1000"
		   scheme="https" secure="true"
		   keystoreFile="conf/server.pfx" keystorePass="abcd1234"
		   clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"/>

Also had a problem with Windows 7, although I am not sure how many VMs I gonna build with 7 moving forward.

Still researching but a quick fix is to disable NLM and have guacamole use RDP Encryption.

Anyway, I think I am good for now, I am going to do OpnSense, Tomcat (guacamole), TrueNAS, and Apache.

Slacking Off

Actually been busy with work, but haven’t been working out nor doing anything in my book.

Got other little things to do, also really tired.

I didn’t go to bed early last night but still woke up early.

I need to get better sleep hygiene.

Tweaked Something

Today was a relaxing day, but I think I tweaked something.

Hoping it is just a simple tweak, maybe hurt tomorrow but things clear off later.

Also had 9+ hours of sleep but still tired.

Not sure why. I am going to bed no later than 12:30 today, maybe I will feel better.

Seahawks won in dramatic fashion, the took the lead in the first quarter 14-0 then they drop to like 17-20, then we one on an int which lead to an offensive TD 24-20

Also Niners lost, Broncos Won.

Final XC Meet as a Parent

Final XC Meet

Today I witness my youngest son run his last Cross Country Meet. There is still track so my days as a parent spectator are not over, but XC has a special place in my heart.

Dropped my son off at school before the bus left at 7:45 AM but no one was there yet.

Girls were running at 10AM so we wanted to be there for them, so we left at 8:45 and got there with about 30 minutes to spare.

I was nervous that my son wasn’t going to crack 19 minutes, but he did. He didn’t qualify for state, but I knew there was a sub 19 in him and it just needed to come out.

Which leads me to this unusual open letter which I do not think any of my kids will read.

Open Letter To My XC Kids

Originally this letter was just going to be for you my youngest, but this is for all of you

Starting with you my oldest son, I wish I got you into the sport your freshman year, but you trailblazed and showed me, what fund XC could be.

To my oldest daughter, you really showed what running passion was, you made it to state twice at XC, I know you could have made it to State in Track if it weren’t for Covid.

To my youngest daughter, I know I forced you to run XC your freshman year, but you came back your senior year. I am grateful you did, since Covid cut off your chances to go to State in Spring Tennis.

And to my youngest son, you cap the XC experience for me. Look at how you improved.

But that so reflects your growth I hope you see that. When you started XC it was weird, it was actually 2021 not 2020. XC was in Spring, you PR’d at 37:23 in 2021 spring. You must have hated it when I forced you to run again in Fall 2021, but look at your times. From Spring 2021 to Fall 2021.

I recall you hated having to run districts, you just wanted to hang out, but I think that qualifies you for Varsity. You were so upset you had to run some more.

In 2022, I did not require you to run, you did it as your own volition. You didn’t crack 20 minutes, and you were upset you didn’t. There is a genuine change in you that was impossible to not see. You had a passion in running.

And now, today, at your final race, I knew you weren’t going to State, we both knew. You could have just cracked 20 like I wanted you to, but you showed heart and cracked 19.

You went from a kid that was called into the VP office for, emotional outbursts, a kid that was behind in reading. I kid that didn’t want to go to school.

To a Co Captain on the XC team, the fastest 5k runner in your class. I kid that got A’s the occasional B, and only 1 C in a class that challenged you.

Thank you for the gift of showing me your heart.

Ok that is all, just wanted to post me weight, and yes I got my fitbit goals too.
