Micro

A friend led a whisky tasting session last night. The Mexican Prieto Y Prieta was terrific. Even better though was spending some great time with a group of guys with such different backgrounds!

Setup a Linkding instance on the Moose for better managing my bookmarks. Not a huge fan of the name but it’s a great lightweight app doing just what it’s built for. The HTTP Shortcuts app on FDroid is a decent partner app to share bookmarks from the phone.

Infyblogs and the internal BB were a great place to hang out! Over the last couple decades, haven’t quite found a thriving network that is anywhere similar to those channels. Thinking of it, my foray into Linux was solely due to InfyLUG! Wonder if they still have those running!

After last weekends’ hike, I threw my back out doing something super mundane. Had to take a day off work just to let it heal out. Tiny muscles I didn’t know existed were screaming out. If anything, it made me realise how incredibly complex our bodies are and a subtle reminder to strengthen the core.

Focusing on the ‘Why’ rather than the ‘Who’ when doing a postmortem of an incident - Such a nuanced yet pivotal shift!

Super interesting how so many things unrelated connect in weird ways!

Terrific night at Pinche Bar. M would have had a great time had she come.

Ouch! You probably need to get their Expedition edition for 2024.

Bought a desk organizer a few weeks ago to arrange all my micro systems. The NUC, RPi NCP, Odroid and routers all now sit neatly in one space. The sliding shelves are an added bonus and the open back and sides give a lot of space for air circulation and cable management.

A got some green beans when she came over on a flying visit. Roasted these the other day. Super aromatic and flavorful.
