    It has been a good week overall. We got some great news out of a local court in Massachusetts regarding honoring out of state permits to carry. It is really great news. About a half dozen of the people I watch have talked about it as well as J.Kb. One point, it is an “as…

    Miguel’s post about harping on health really hit me. I’m struggling. Two years ago, I was around 330. Today I’m hovering around 292. During the week, I lose weight. On the weekend, I gain it all back. I have to make the conscious decision to not eat bad things on the weekend. It is difficult,…

    It is 2100 and after 6 hours of working with our cloud provider, everything is back. There was a hardware glitch that caused a node to fail. The website automatically moved to a new node and attempted to restart. Unfortunately, that hardware glitch caused the cluster to believe that the node was still there and…

    First, thank you to Miguel for creating this fantastic place. Thank you to J.Kb. for contributing. Thank you to both of you for allowing me to be an author here. Just over a year ago, Miguel announced his retirement to J.Kb. and myself in a private email. We considered a couple of different options, one…

    Welcome to Friday! It’s almost the weekend. I really wish that the climate change gods would decide which way it should be. The last couple of nights I’ve gone to bed, it has been so hot and mucky that I didn’t want to be near my lady. Halfway through the night, I woke up shivering…
