The things you do for coffee
Can’t complain really – its been a nice weekend overall. Have enjoyed myself and relaxed.
I think its time to start getting back into the exercise again. Gyms open up in a week I think, based on the reduction in restrictions. I’ll need it.
Certainly had a good ride, even if the start had to be delayed due to the really cold weather.
Got to play with my raspberry pi’s. The new case works well without needing a fan. Definitely the way to go. Cute little critter. And really quite amazing for what it costs.
I guess this isn’t the year to eat out and celebrate.
But I can eat in.
Just arrived today, making most of the updates, well, up to date.
I think I’m really going to like this laptop. Ironically not a pro model, but I think its going to do everything I need. I guess I can cope with the thermal heating when and if it happens for the harder stuff.
Its pretty well specced out:
Just spent the weekend configuring my Mac mini that’s arrived – its a 2020 model (ie the 2018 model with the feature bump):
Its a nice little server, and not a bad desktop. So I’m ready for when/if my 2012 Mac mini server fails… Amazingly its going strong to this day.
But this is a nice desktop, with room to grow. Interestingly, I noticed that my 500 GB server is actually doing ok now that I’ve pruned the snapshots of the virtual machines. So I have enough space for a while yet despite the emails that are filling it up. Still, ready for when that time comes, which will no doubt be fairly soon.
I think we are truly in the lucky country, although its more about being cohesive as a country than luck in reality.
We have pulled together and deaths from corona virus have been incredibly low by worldwide standards. So good that we are starting to relax the social isolation – groups of ten people permitted from here on in.
Just so lucky compared with other parts of the world.
Still in isolation, of course
But its a fantastic day and great to be home.
Finally back at home again.
It feel surreal to be back. Like I was dreaming for the last three weeks.
It’s been several weeks since I went into personal lockdown. Finally I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Hopefully home soon. Probably tomorrow am.
Its been a nice run of days off. Ready to go back to the grindstone tomorrow.
The Australian figures at least are looking like we are in control of all of this. But that only means that we are going to be isolated for longer, although at a more manageable pace.
