So one of the things I wanted to do was build a booklist, and this is the start. First, I want to snag the cut-open electronics book, from TubeTime. I'd also like to snag a few Kubernetes books, and check out a few cloud and/or security books.
So, candidates …
read moreSo, aside from my old tech box setback, I acquired a refurbed machine which I'm having issues getting to boot. I mean, I am able to cajole it to boot pretty regularly with breaking out the grub cli and doing some manual stuff, but the box refuses to load automatically …
read morePlanning, wow. Things are almost getting serious. :)
I already have some plans, discussed in previous blogs, so I won't rehash those here. So, what then?
One thing is books. My reading has disappeared, replaced with social media consumption. So, that needs adjustment. I also need to start buying some, as …
read moreSo, I'm slowly starting to roll things out. I've built a temp backup area on S3, and have started pushing some things over there -- both programs and data. I've also started to rebuild some things, so I can have some functions actually work. I'm also looking to do some minor …

read moreSo, Jeff Geerling wrote about the shortage, and it looks like my August forecast was a bit optimistic. While one EU retailer has been able to maintain stock for some time, nothing like that seems to have happened on this side of the pond. And according to Jeff through one …
read moreI've started hacking, and now I have a rough storage bit and some of the format. Next is the first rev on the API, and a rough front end to generate reminders. Then a piece to do a simple delivery of the reminder, and a wrapper that does the persistent …
read moreSo, I need a reminder service. Or, some way to flag myself in the future about something I'm doing something with now. Along with this, I have to construct a build pipeline, where I can develop, test, and then deploy a service out into the world. We'll start simple; an …
read moreI was going to write about being tired, but instead I'm going to write about better focus. I've built some nice helper bits for my life, but there are a few problems. One is that I've developed a set of routines which is good, but I'm not sure the output …
