  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. 🤓 Oh, the trials and tribulations of being a renter with a fondness for tech! This brave soul 🎩 ventures into the wild world of DIY automation, armed with an #ESP32 and a delusional sense of invincibility, all to avoid the Herculean task of turning a knob. 🛠️ Because nothing screams "tech genius" like duct-taping a stepper motor to your AC unit. 🌬️

  11. The Best Thermostat To Keep You Warm Without Running Up Electric Bills

    Saklakova/Getty Images It can be tempting to turn your thermostat up to keep your house toasty during the winter months, but if you do, you run the risk of increasing your electricity bills. If you're conscious about heating costs, installing a smart thermostat can be a great way to monitor and adjust your heating usage. The best smart thermostats will not only let you keep tabs on your property's ambient temperature while you're at home but will also let you adjust the temperature remotely […]

  12. Nothing to Say

    I’m down to the final minutes of my lunch break on this fine Friday afternoon. I am pretty exhausted from a lack of sleep over the past… month(s) but I’m hanging in there. I had some Purdue Popcorn chicken and some peanuts and some sugar free Hershey bites for lunch. I really want a drink of water but I still have to wait the better part of an hour before I am clear to drink anything. That’s a gastric bypass patient thing. If you know, you know.

    Fed Ex delivered a package today. I am not home to get it, but it contains a new guitar pedal. If I read the amazon shipping notes correctly, it’s a compressor pedal. The first I’ve ever purchased. I have this weird idea of using cleaner guitar sounds for this year’s RPM Challenge in February and a compressor will be a part of that. I bought an MXR Dyna Comp because it’s super simple and it will let me squash my clean signal down to a delightfully mushy… mush. There are two more pedals coming over the weekend. One is a Flanger, the other is an Amp Sim. I don’t have room on my pedal board for any of these kiddos and I don’t have open slots on my power brick… so I am going to need to get creative, I think. It should be fun. I don’t think I bought a single guitar pedal during all of 2024. I know I bought a couple of microphones for band practices that haven’t actually happened yet, but no pedals.

    There are a lot of tentative plans for the weekend. We may be messing with our living room and we may be going to some stores for research purposes. I hope to spend some time wandering around town taking pictures with my new/possibly antique (though probably not) camera. I got a gift card for the sugar free bakery in Salem, NH for xmas. I haven’t bought anything from them in about a month, but now I am definitely going back and getting some cookies. Good stuff.

    What else… I thought there was something else… One of our cars is going to get a break job. That wasn’t the thing that I am forgetting though… am I going to go shopping for a new iPhone? That’s definitely on the to-do list before we go to Florida at the end of the month, but is it this weekend? I don’t know.

    I have to start practicing the guitar. The band is hoping to reconvene (hopefully for real this time) at some point after this weekend. I need to get ready for that. Which guitar should I bring to the first practice? Probably the Les Paul Standard that my wife got me for my 50th birthday in 2021. I really dig that guitar.

    I know I had something else I wanted to write about but it has slipped my brain entirely. Don’t get old, kids. This is what happens to you when you get old. Stay young for as long as you can. Unless you’re already old like me in which case… sorry, folks. We had a good run, I’m sure.
