  2. I'm between clients at the moment, for the first time in the 11 years I've been consulting. Well, technically a contract with a new client was signed before I left the previous one, I just very explicitly needed a little time off to reset.

    It's just one week, and I've been keeping busy. Early hours have been spent digging into the finer details of designing and building a self hosted CI/CD solution based on #WoodpeckerCI, #Forgejo and #Harbor running on #Kubernetes.

    Evenings are spent on the couch, watching reruns of #Farscape or #DeathInParadise.

    I between? Well, we bought a house from the late #60s and decided to make a new bathroom on the second floor. We're getting the pros to pour a new heated concrete floor, but I'm doing a lot of the other stuff. Right now, that means rebuilding the ceiling and fixing electricity. It's a super messy, sweaty and itchy job, but very fulfilling.

    I'm calling this my #metalhygiene week.

  7. Because searching the internet is impossible these days:

    In which direction should I lay paving bricks (200x100s) on a slope, to minimise the appearance of the slope?

    Should I lay them in the direction of the gradient so they 'blend in' or should I lay them perpendicular to the gradient to counteract it? Or, at a 45 degree angle? 😬

    Or should I consider some other factor above all else, like light/reflections or the building orientation? 🤔

  9. CW: toilet logistics (adding a bidet)

    Recently I finally got off my ass (pun intended) and started seriously investigating adding a bidet seat to one of our toilets.
    I was going to save time and energy by buying the fanciest model available at #Costco, but it won't fit our toilet because of a raised contour at the back of the bowl. It took me three email exchanges with #Kohler to extract that information.
    Now I'm exchanging email with #Brondell to see if theirs will fit.

  10. Big shout-out to Xyla Foxlin on #Youtube for demystifying fiberglass for me. I'm repairing rusted out holes in the bulkhead door to the basement, and it was way closer to the tool for the job than the lumpy expanding foam that was there before.

  11. No matter how much you plan, you WILL need to pass another #cat6 #cable for #ethernet
    In this case, I have two #PoE devices (a camera and an access point) and I don't want to spend 100€ on a PoE passthrough switch (plus the energy it will consume from now on...)

  12. This is what success looks like. I removed the old and busted bathroom sink and cabinet today and installed this new one. Just myself and my dear wifey, A.K.A. my “Lovely Assistant”. She saved my sanity on this project.

    Ask me anything. I didn’t take before or in-progress pictures. I just wanted to git ‘er dun, as the kids say these days. They say that, right?

  13. The progress being made in the kitchen is stunning. The demo is done and they are installing cabinets. It feels like they might be as much as half a day ahead of schedule. We’re already starting to talk about things that weren’t supposed to happen this weekend. Tiling and painting, specifically. The tile guy is coming on Sunday. It’s absolutely nuts!

    Anyway, here’s today’s photo a day pic. I took it before the kitchen guys got here this morning because I didn’t know if I would get a chance for anything once the crazy arrived.
