Notes

The really big software vendor for the failed deployment on the long-running-project-from-hell (LRPFH) has developed a patch to fix our issue and scheduled it to deploy this evening. First it was 4pm. Then 5pm. And then 6pm. Now it’s 7:30pm… Any takers for 9pm or later? Sigh…

Playing with Google’s NotebookLM this morning, I uploaded a PDF of one of my blog posts and had it create an audio overview without any input from me. The output was a 19 minute podcast-like “segment” that you’d swear was a real conversation between two people. Mind-blowing… I’ll have to post it.

An exhausting and disappointing weekend. The “long running project from hell” was set to deploy this weekend, but we ran into troubles due to vendor licensing. Two days have been lost to it. The rest of today will be about rolling back and regression testing we didn’t leave something broken. 🤬

So I’m giving Reeder 5 another try. It’s starting to grow on me… A little… Maybe… Sorry @canion.

It’s amazing what listening to loud music can do for the soul.

I’ve been pondering starting a punk band out of the OC in SoCal for a couple years. Given recent political results, now would be the time for it. But all the punks from the days of old who are my age and still located in the OC are likely MAGA-heads now…

Reading my last post back, it might sound as if I’ve accepted defeat.

Far from it. Make no mistake. I will do everything necessary to stand up against tyranny.

Do not give up. Do not give in. Continue to fight for truth, justice and what is right for all peoples.

The fight has only just begun…
