Listening to Greg Merkle’s album while working through email inbox. Great music.
Everyone should listen to some Hank Williams Sr. at least once a year or so. So good.
Was great to reconnect with Farhan Muhammad today over lunch!
It blows my mind to see how much we packed for this weekend trip!
At The Collaborative Technology Summit event this morning. Will be on the 4th panel discussing tech successes in town.
I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to chsh zsh on my Mac. Hello again zsh. It’s been too long old buddy!
I really wish I still had that .zshrc file I spent forever optimizing in college.
If you are thinking “Oh, that is what he did in college! Play with his .zshrc!” That’s fair.
Required installing many dependencies but I now have chef and knife gems installed to start playing with deployments.
Mazie soccer game tonight!
Turning off Google Instant. That feels much, much better.
Burstable performance instances — Considering AWS EC2 Micro instances? Read this doc to understand the compute profile.
The Lightroom 3.2 → Facebook workflow is very, very slick. Only problem is you cannot replace a photo. Republish deletes and uploads again. I expect that is a Facebook limit.
Planning out deploying thingelstad.com on Amazon EC2 with autoscaling and independent SQL/NFS server.
As odd as this seems at first, Amazon EC2’s new “micro” instance is a game changer. Ridiculously cheap for the right task.
A t1.micro reserved instance comes in at $54/year!
If your curious, here is Amazon’s Micro announcement.
Game Center First Impressions
I’m all setup on game center. Find me as “thingles”.
I’m curious to see what non-game things Game Center enables. What could Reeder do with it? Multiuser mind mapping with MindNode?
Very impressed with Game Center. And I’m not much of a gamer!
First impression of Google Streaming Search: hate it. Distracting, clunky. It’s like someone not allowing me to finish a sentence.
Curious: are baseball games played faster when temperature is colder? 🥶
Mazie's First Soccer Game
Last week Mazie had her first soccer game! She’s in the Fuller Soccer Club on the Cyclones. With no practice aside from trying on her shin guards and uniform she hit the field.
This is a league for 5-6 year olds and it was a ton of fun to watch. Little kids all chasing the ball! They play 8 periods of 5 minutes each, rotating into various positions. Her first period involved a lot of standing in place and watching, but by the 4th period she was having a ton of fun!
I ran video of the entire 8th period. Mazie was playing center forward.
I feel like I should rename Fall to “Claritin”. 🤧
That was the nicest bus driver ever.
Another great book club meeting tonight. I relish book club nights.
