Apparently it’s one of •those• days again. #CorgiLife

Sitting in the middle of a Provincial Park and contemplating Networking Field Day 38 tomorrow. There are two presenters that I need to do a bit more research on. Once that's done, I need to put on my serious glasses and activate the Starlink. Almost ready... #NFD38

Charles is the essence of the proper attitude toward Monday mornings in a heat wave. (43° with humidity factored in! Gah!) Alas, as much as I want to emulate the example he’s setting with his bold and principled stance, there’s work to do. Sigh. #CorgiLife

My mother-in-law got us this nice little hand towel when she went to Italy. It has various Italian cities and towns printed along its edge, but folds in •just• the right place to cut one off. Being the network/infosec geek that I am, my subconscious completion is •not• Selinunte. 🙂 #SELinux #InfoSec

My visual whenever someone uses “on prem” to describe something. Whatever they wanted me to think about has been supplanted by thoughts of lunch.

Okay, I get that Windows Servers traditionally don't care much about uptime, but really?

Motorcycles have their uses, even in the off-season. #Motorcycle

My level of ambition matches my dog’s today.

It seems that someone doesn’t understand the concept of cringe… or irony for that matter. 🙂 #Xodus

There’s an oddly-coloured stripe of fur down Charlie’s back. I decided to look into it this morning. Apparently it’s common and is called a “fairy saddle” because corgis are, according to legend, the steeds of the fae. This new-found knowledge has started my day with a grin. #WeRideAtDawn #CorgiLife

Huh. Apparently I’ve been living under a rock. TIL that the awesome Phil Foglio (@thephilfoglio.bsky.social) is the artist behind the original UNIX “Beastie” Daemon.

Doing my part. 🙂

And I’m officially a member of the grey (formerly black) shirt club!

Day two of the MikroTik Train the Trainer course. Still more than a little jetlagged, but mostly awake.

Yup. This one was my favourite. If I could get a modern version with TOTP and LTE/5G hotspot capability, I’d give up my smartphone in a heartbeat.

A discussion on LinkedIn took me back to the early days of my career and a comment •required• me to diagram it. #NetEng

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #3,321! I haven’t really •done• anything with it yet, but there may be opportunities for that to change.
