A busy couple of days. In no particular order:
Picked up the futon, assembled it. We now have a guest bed, in a guest room. Woot.
Transferred some plants to bigger pots. Put trellis up for the tomatoes. Tied strings to existing trellis to encourage peas to climb more broadly. Mowed lawn. Applied “summer guard” “turf builder” to the yard. Admired the eight blooming rose bushes, and the rather nice little enclave of decorative plants we’ve created this year.
Went to karate class. Started a new form: “Statue of the Crane”. It’s, well, different.
Got the tires rotated, the oil changed, etc. The shop continues to try to sell me new tires every time I go in there. That’s fine, all part of the game. I realize that I’m tempting fate by writing down my opinion that “oh no, I don’t need new tires right now.”
Took a customer call where we hadn’t done anything wrong, it was all hardware!
Hung out with my very favorite customers (MIT) and rebuilt their cluster with the new installer. It worked, most of the way. I even managed to do a disk image based install for the nodes! Felt like real cluster building for once, rather than the colossal hack that it can sometimes be. Plus, I got to sit next to a spotted array “spotter” robot all day while they were testing it out. Robots are cool.
