wolfmd phlog for may 2021

Ran into a fun problem where my pihole was hardcoded for a

different network range so I couldn't ssh to it and the

only user password I knew had a # symbol in it. Apparently

the input was configured on the pi to british keyboard so

I had no way of inputting the password! Ended up creating

a tiny network with the correct ranges and sshing that way.

Aside from that, I continue to take ax swings at a large,

dead tree branch.

Played the House Doesn't Always Win for ttrpg night. Really

well made system.

2021/05/07

With about a half hour of effort and a beer of energy, I

was able to take down a large dead limb from an oak tree

using some handtools. I should really get a chainsaw. I

also discovered a Japanese Pittosporum in the front yard.

It smells nice and the bees love it.

After a morning garage sale where I bought a couple hand

tools, we went to San Jose for Mother's Day. There, my

mother-in-law and I made a verbal agreement to purchase a

house in Vietnam together. Sweet deal. Later, while

visiting friends in San Mateo, I took a walk to the lovely

downtown area and found it bustling with the usual rich

and beautiful people. I found the remnants of Super Evil

and spent an hour and way too much money at B Street Books.

Oncall weekend, started with a trip to a small garage sale

that was a bust and Ace Hardware. Spent some quality time

with Yvonne outside.

Some initial progress on creating a defensible space around

the property. I'm going to need a rake and a ladder sooner

than later.

2021/05/19

Assembled an IKEA Billy bookscae with glass doors. Probably

the biggest pain-in-the-ass of their collection yet but it

looks pretty good. Still trying to understand how Nix works.

I bought a step ladder so now I can finally get on the roof

woo what could possibly go wrong

Continuing Gods amd Robots, a wonderful look into classical

history and the intersection of technology, myth, amd culture.

Jerking off on inanimate objects is not a 21st century

phenomenon

2021/05/23

Have not touched my computer today. Put together a couch,

got a picnic table and bench, and purchased corn, strawberry

and pepper transplants. Continued Gods and Robots as I put

together an adhoc raised bed.

2021/05/26

Finished Gods and Robots and picked up a frog terrarium

from a local seller in the Idaho-Maryland area. Saw a bunch

of signs that were anti-mine and went home and the day's

newspaper had an article about a gold mine in that area

trying to open back up. Wild

After a day of work in which few people showed up and even

fewer did work on account of the three-day weekend, I put

together a little composting box. Using some leftover stakes

and scrapwood, I got to practice using the circular saw,

sawhorses, and mallet. It doesn't look half-bad. All the

while, I listened to the first few chapters of Olaf

Stapleton's Starmaker. Certainly less dry than Last and

First Men, but still lretty dry. It's got a bit more of a

flavor of Gullivers Travels and anticipates the smartphone

rather well.

2021/05/29

After a couple of moving sales (everyone is moving to

Hawaii and Bali apparently) in which I got several new

houseplants and none of the things I had on my list, I got

up on the garage roofs and cleaned some gutters. Surviving

this, we went down to a reptile store and asian grocery store.

Friends coming in this evening

Yesterday we acquired some tadpoles. The initial setup was a

tall 1 gallon tank. I don't think they love the height so I'm

prepping an old terrarium for them with just gravel. Went gold

panning at Auburn State Park. It was hot as fuck, but seeing

a family of geese swimming up river made my day.
