My family attended an open house of a well regarded cooking school today. My daughter might take a gap year before college, was on the list to investigate. They set out a table of appetizers to sample. It wasn't that good! Disqualifying?

Woke up to see 3 squirrels in the backyard engaged in chaotic sex. "Hey, you crazy kids, this is the suburbs not the city, do your kink in private".

I disconnected my treadmill from wifi because they updated the software to make it hard to opt-out of their monthly subscription. It now also crashes if left powered on after use, a new feature. I suspect the next update they will just brick my machine as a vendetta. MafiaTrack.

Put in the needful hours over the weekend to migrate #bazel rules_spring to bzlmod. I didn't quite get across the finish line, it is not in Bazel Central Registry yet. Also made stepwise progress on SBOM support. github.com/salesforce/r...
Release 2.5.0 Dec 2024 Transition to Bzlmod · salesforce/rules_spring
Fully transitioned to Bzlmod for workspace dependency management. MODULE.bazel now fully describes the workspace dependencies, and WORKSPACE has been deleted.

rules_spring 2.4.1 released, for building #java #springboot apps with #bazel. This release has no functional changes, but includes a new improved utility for trimming your dependency graph. Spring Boot apps tend to have massive graphs, this will help. github.com/salesforce/r...

You had me at "photo archivist geek makes discovery". www.summitdaily.com/news/montana.... Love the folks that specialize in the fringes of human knowledge.
A Montana historical society treasured this photo as one of its oldest. This summer, they discovered it was actually taken in Breck.
In 1969, Glanville Smith donated an ambrotype photo of a mining camp he inherited from his grandfather to The Montana Historical Society labeled: “French Gulch, Aug. 23, 1862.” The historical society ...

Sorry Las Cruces, NM, but I don't think we will be doing a return trip. A couple of locals have ruined the weekend for us. These things can happen anywhere I know, but it happened to us here so there it is.

I heard this was happening, but saw it for real today. College kid on bus taking an online test, flipping tabs between ChatGPT, Gemini, and various test answer sites. Copied and pasted the answers as his own. Didn't even edit them. Shameless.

Wanna learn about critters that wake up when we go to bed?
That creep and crawl under our tread?

Who don't have eyes like you and me?
WELL you should take my class!

Did a talk at Colorado School of Mines tonight about microservice and monolithic architectural patterns in software. Horizontal scaling, service mesh, canary testing, distributed tracing, eventual consistency, bounded context, et al. Students got a lot of buzzwords to use in their job interviews 🙂

After doing my taxes Sunday, it felt natural to use Monday night for a Swedish Death Cleaning on my file cabinet. 80% reduction in paper. Next project is to digitize the remaining 20% - a summer chore for my 14yo son. He doesn't know this yet. www.realhomes.com/advice/swedi...

Spent a lot of time implementing software builds in Bazel over the last few years. I sometimes see Bazel solutions for non-software problems. E.g. implementing US tax computation and form generation in Bazel. If I didn't already have an overflow of side projects, I would try it. bazel.build

Next stop will be the international science fair (ISEF) in Los Angeles in May. I will be one of the chaperones for the Colorado students. I have been judging/coaching science fair for years, but have never been to ISEF so I am excited to go. Science FTW! www.societyforscience.org/isef/

Always love the boost of inspiration that comes every year from judging science fair. Colorado State fair finished yesterday, as always lots of great projects. Bonus that my daughter's project did well. 😀 View the projects here: csef.natsci.colostate.edu/csef-2024/
